Whitestone from CR does not exist still. It was wiped out a long time ago and any time people have tried to explore it but do not return. This will likely be a plot point/area we explore in the future.

Belvedere Recruitment
At a charity event for a museum. A deep tan elven woman with blue eyes and blond hair approaches Belvedere. It is Belcalis who is on the Council of Tal’Dorei. She invited Belvedere to a dinner for an opportunity to meet some other people.
Antimony Recruitment
Antimony is gardening mid-morning. She lives about an hour walk from Emon. A kid messenger drops off a message from Harlo that someone wants to meet me at his shop.
When I get to the shop, it is dimly lit. Harlo is behind the counter. Belcalis is there too. She invites me to the dinner.
Marigold Recruitment
Belcalis visits marigold at the tavern. Belcalis asks her to join at the dinner and admires her for saving a bear (a bear was being forced to dance. Marigold saved the bear and escorted it to the forest). Belcalis offers to talk to the magistrate about the charges against her.
Quentin Recruitment
Quentin is a healer/experimenter for a group called doctors without gods. He is staying at a seedy tavern so he can see patients. His patients are usually showing up trying to be incognito. Belcalis shows up at his room. She says that she has been following his research with great interest. She then invites him to dinner. She says that some of the work will publicly be done for the council and some of it will be private.
