When we were in the Feywilds, I had a chance to dance with one of their higher ups. There was a mention of "a new day," and you can imagine the concern had at such a phrase following the events in winter this year.

That certainly does sound like the start of some megalomaniacal madman's speech.

[ Ask him how he knows. ]

Were you given any further context?

It was originally in relation to Nocwich, and then extended to the primary nations as well.

As you might imagine, trying to chase down leads has been difficult. The one I've found is out in the Old Emberwoods village, Old Nott.

[ Not just Nocwich, but the other three nations as well? Just what are the fey planning? ]

And where did you hear that name?

[HE DOESN'T KNOW it could be bullshit!]

I reached out to Sten, in case the werefolk knew anything. They had a vampire drying out in their custody, and I was given permission to speak with him.

Apparently that village in Old Nott is also awaiting a new day.

It is the only lead I've gotten, even if I don't wholly trust the source.

The term is vague enough that it could be something else entirely, but if this is all you've been able to find, then it's certainly worth looking into.

Would you be willing to do the physical follow up? I don't have any further details, but if you need funding for bribes and paying off prying eyes, I can pass along what is needed in Nocwich.

You could say this is my area of expertise. With any luck, no one will see me to begin with, though I suppose I can't guarantee that. Either way, I'm not going to take your money.

[ Somewhere, the Scions' bookkeeper is screaming. ]
