We arrive in Red Larch, meeting again with Krieg and resupply.

Vel reveals his association with Acquisitions Inc, an organization specializing in the procurement of magic items of any and all kind.  They seek a device called the Heart of Mechanicus.  We agree to bring it to them should we locate it.

Umi

After departing in the morning, we encounter Umi.  He invites us to examine his wares.  He also advises that the necromancer note is in Netherese. He states the grasshoppers have been fleeing the area since around 7 months ago.

Obelisk/Mardivas

We encounter another Obelisk and once again speak with Mardivas.  From him, we learn in -4420 Belsamir Dwarves first founded the Dessarin Valley.  They abandoned it in -4161.  Then in 893 DR The Knights of the Silverhorn built massive keeps in the area.  The Dessarin Valley is resettled in 1000 DR.  We also learn another symbol. 

Oromis

We meet Oromis, an arch druid. He tells us the tree seed we have is actually a sentient vine.  To grow, it requires fertile, magic soil and must be watered everyday for 7 days.  It will then grow into a forest.  It is used to guard dragon lairs.

Oromis tells us the elements themselves are in turmoil. He can create a spell to pinpoint the issue, but requires 4 elemental hearts (earth, fire, wind, water). 

Crazed Myrmidons...?  (need more info).
