Here is a listing to aid us in keeping straight all the information we've learned about Unraveling the Prophecy.
Aelwyn: The addressee of the letter that Valyn carried.
Alvian: A gnome of House Sivis. An intellectual type, who spoke in depth with Keh'r about "Tasker's Dream."
Barth: Bloodrush's contact at the Bloody Tooth. He provides information in exchange for gold.
Black Bahiri's: A tavern in Little Graywall where Karol was turned to stone.
bloodgin: A powerful ale sold at Black Bahiri's.
Bjornhelm: a dwarf cleric working in House Sivis.
Blood of Vol: The Emerald Claw people belonged to the Blood of Vol, an unaligned religious organization.
Bloody Tooth: A tavern in Graywall whose customers are primarily monstrous humanoids, but where the rest of us are unlikely to be harmed. Bloodrush has some contacts here for getting information.
Brakenworth: A human thief who was turned to stone by the guard for stealing the Chalice of Breland from Turakbar. We turned him back into flesh to get intelligence on how to infiltrate Castle Turakbar.
Broken Sword: A tavern in Graywall whose customers are primarily mercenaries.
Caradhas: A legendary Orc warden, also known as the Lady in Green.
Varagga Chala: The name of the Oni that was Brakenworth's associate.
Chalice of Breland: The artifact that got Brakenworth in so much trouble. It's nonmagical as far as we know. Brakenworth claims he didn't take it.
The Great Crag: one of the minotaurs we defeated in the Labyrinth had instructions to go to the Crag to find Sora Teraza to ask about the prophecy relating to the Deep Door; also Nash's note instructed him to seek out the Hags in the Great Crag.
Cyrus: a skinny, old goblin who used primal magic to try to recover Horadric's memory. He was turned into a dog and travels with us.
Deep Door: A minotaur was carrying instructions to go to the Crag to ask Sora Teraza about the prophecy relating to the Deep Door.
Dor'alla: This is the name in the note in the changeling assassin's pocket from the scuffle on the lightning rail. The note said to "convince Dor'alla."
Droam: the country we are currently in. Sora Katra is said to be the voice of Droam.
Elwood: The sender of the letter that Valyn carried, containing an interpreted piece of the prophecy.
Emerald Claw: The sect of people we defeated along our journey to Turakbar's Fist. Horadric said they were an extremist sect of the "Blood of Vol" and are led by a necromancer called the "Queen of Death."
Ephraim: This is the name of the changeling assassin who committed suicide after the scuffle on the lightning rail. He had murdered a high-ranking elder of House Sivis, according to Reader.
Fangrin: The gnoll mage that Bloodrush fought in the challenge circle.
Graywall: A city to the west of Korranberg. We tracked Nym here and also trying to uncover the meaning of the section of the prophecy that relates to this city ("wall of red stone").
The Hags: Sora Katra, Sora Teraza, and Sora Maenya, daughters of Sora Kel.
Karol: A kobold; Shamash's brother-in-law; we turned him from stone to flesh and reunited him with his family before suggesting that they find Shamash in town and flee. Karol had learned a rumor about the medusae making an allegiance with a warlord.
Karrnath: Brakenworth stole the crown jewels of Karrnath. Also, the Emerald Claw sect were from Karrnath.
Kethelrax the Cunning: A kobold warlord who lives to the south in Sharack Cole; he has lots of kobolds in his employ.
Khadrous: The owner of the Labyrinth.
Korranberg: the location of House Sivis. There is a lightning rail station here.
The Labyrinth: an underground hotel run by minotaurs that specializes in harboring fugitives. We followed Nym's trail here, but were led to Turakbar instead.
Makarn: The male medusa who attacked us and we subsequently killed (and sold his blood to Worms, in exchange for some stone-to-flesh potions).
Mordac: This is also a name mentioned in the note in the assassin's pocket from the scuffle on the lightning rail. The note said to talk to some folks including Mordac.

Narath: Clangor's former home.
Nash: The warforged who was a member of the Emerald Claw; we defeated him and found on his body a note carrying instructions.
Nym: A gnome, betrayer of House Sivis. We tracked him to Turakbar's Castle in our successful attempt to recover Reader's memory unit. We returned him to House Sivis.
Oni: We heard tell of an oni who was a possible enemy of Xorchylic, named Varagga Chala. Can probably be found at the Venomous Voice.
Orcus: "Prince of Undeath," a demon, an anomaly in the Pantheon.
Prize of Caradhas: Caradhas' legendary weapon.
Prophecy: See below for the portion of the prophecy that we already have learned. We also know there is a prophecy relating to the Deep Door.
Queen of Death: The leader of the Order of the Emerald Claw and a powerful necromancer. The note that Nash was carrying instructed him to ask the Oracle what must be done to rebirth the Bloodline of her Mark.
Rattigan: A gnome with glasses, who is convinced that all of the people who have experienced memory loss are part of a prophecy.
Reader Thrane: A warforged we found in Rivenroar, who had his memory unit stolen by Nym. He has reportedly left for the Mournland.
Rivenroar: A dragonmark appeared here also.
Settlement of Lost: Nash was to find the Settlement of Lost and recruit three shapeshifters.
Sharack Cole: a place to the south where Kethelrax the Cunning holds his operations.
Sora Katra: one of the hags, known as the voice of Droam (the country). Nash's note warns to gain her favor first by offering her a gift (in this case, a warhorse artifact).
Sora Kel: The mother of the hags, apparently.
Sora Maenya: one of the hags, known as the iron fist.
Sora Teraza: one of the hags, known as a powerful oracle. Our leads indicate that she would be found at "The Crag."
Staunch: The author of the letter to Nash; seemingly the planner behind Nash's actions.
Street of Shadows: The street harboring the church of gnoll mercenaries is located here. This is where our information on Fangrin leads.
Swine King: Nash had apparently committed some "valorous deeds" against the Swine King's people.
"Tasker's Dream": This involved compression rates to send data quickly through the speaking stones.
Talia: a kind apprentice gnome who helped take care of Reader in Korranberg. Nym said he had given her the information from the memory card. She has disappeared.
Rhesh Turakbar: A minotaur warlord who works for the daughters of Sora Kel. His castle is called Turakbar's Fist. We have followed Nym's trail to his castle.
Twilight Palace: The expensive hotel we stayed at in Graywall.
Venomous Voice: a tavern in Graywall featuring harpy singers; Varagga Chala has a stake in the establishment.
Warden Keep: Valyn has delivered a letter there. The first dragonmark appeared here.
Worms: A shifter running a healing shop in Graywall. He pays handsomely for medusa blood.
Xorchylic: The Illithid (mind-flayer) who runs Graywall.
Memory Card: Here are the images that Rattigan retrieved from the memory unit; Nym said they were pieces of prophecy:
- A swirling sea of golden dust floats in the dark room in the depths below Rivenroar castle. It forms into an image of an airship, flying over jungle. There are large warforged with heavy armor on the ship. (He thinks the jungle is Xen'Drik)
- Next image: A picture of a half-elven woman holding a map in her hand. Other men and women wearing the green armor of the Lyrander house stand behind her.
- Next image: A woman with elven features and a pale complexion except for the golden scales on her neck and the backs of her hands. She seems to be beckoning to a black portal ringed with silver, and a skeletal hand reaches through.
- Next image: What appears to be Ke'hr blazing with electricity. The marks on his face are similar, but also slightly augmented with other, subtler lines. He looks older. He stands before a door that snakes forth tendrils of glittery darkness.
- Next image: A party of warforged wandering through the Mournland. Reader Thrane is holding onto another, larger warforged, shaking him and appearing to shout. [Signs point to this image being of a time after the memory card was removed, as Reader looks damaged.]
Prophecy: Here is the prophecy we know so far:
"The fall of one nation,
Erased from the great between,
Shall herald an open door,
A break in the armor between,
A dragon and its dreams,
A wall of red stone,
A huffing bull provokes,
Let him charge against a crimson brother,
Let him break against a charging oak
And give his wisdom to another."
We learned a new section of prophecy as we swam in the tunnels beneath Turakbar's Fist:
"Ancient symbols old as stone
Marks of magic, twelve ascendant
Four aberrant, shunned and alone
Houses rise! Their bloodlines decant
And from their ranks shall come the One"
The letter Valyn was carrying also held a piece of the Prophecy:
"Converging darknesses to heroes give rise,
When terror, madness, contagion,
and death fly upon these skies,
Look to your Lady, and to another,
Do not ye hesitate! Pass on the Prize!"
Aelwyn told of two stanzas of prophecy that appeared when the dragonmark first appeared at Warden Keep.
"The missing child, hiding in plain sight,
Can heal a kingdom or break a throne.
In the City of Knives, in absence while she doth sing,
Skirmishes spark, which rivals nurture to flame,
For if her death they invoke, then one shall rise to be King.
And as a King, what of his fellows?
When he arriveth, the flame's past spread afar
And wide, and with the ships of the half-bred,
and the self-forged, and storm-born,
Khorvaire shall be broken, its Treaty stained red."
