Saint Elm's Deep (the Legend of Vanx Malic)

Vanx, a half-zythian bard is being drawn to places from his father's infamous past. After helping Darbon get over the loss of his first love, and finding a map on a grueling hunt, Vanx and his new companions decide to travel deep into the Bitterpeaks. There they hope to find the fabled hoar witch's crystal palace in a hidden valley of the treacherous and magical Lurr Forest.
