On the sixth of Dvarish, 443 years after the Coming of Estarra, the
Basin was surprised to hear Gonore of Highwater Keep shout across the
Basin about intruders. Quickly various people from around the Basin
noticed boulders strewn across the mountains, caused by the quick and
stealthy invasion of two Goldenclaw wiccans named Jyoath and Anaara. The
pair of wiccans from Jojobo were found at the sunpride tree upon
Avechna's Peak where they were attempting to chop the tree down. Before
they were able to be successful, Xenthos and Enyalida managed to slay
Jyoath while Anaara ran off through the mountains, hiding behind any
boulder she could see. Eventually, Anaara ran into the previously hidden
refugee camp outside of Highwater keep, where under threat of death she
quickly fled.

There in Highwater, the Basin was introduced to revenant Gonore, a
former guard of the Holy Celestian Empire who demanded their wealth and
claimed all treasure to be his. Among the confusion, Kignak Ironhoof,
and Ejibu Brokenhorn theorised that the revenant was awoken by an
ancient spell that the Holy Empire may have placed on him when the
Goldenclaw wiccans entered the Basin through the Southern Mountains.
However, a more pressing matter on their minds distracted the pair, and
that was the current Duke Golnoth Ironhoof's concern of some karmic
threat upon his life. Eager to help, Cyna was the first to start solving
the mystery of Highwater keep, though Xenthos through his earlier
actions and quick thinking, managed to solve the mystery first.

Did the Goldenclaw wiccans steal the wealth of Highwater? Why were they
trying to chop down the sunpride tree and why did they accuse the people
of being allies of the Dawnbursts? Will the troubles of Highwater ever
come back, and will the keep be able to detect further invasions? Only
the Fates know.
