- Marie focused on the Shattered Isles. She learned that the region had once been plagued by sea monsters, but with the invention of gunpowder and improved defenses, such attacks had ceased. Pirates, once a significant threat, had all but disappeared after a massive battle between two pirate clans 100 years ago.
- Crofton researched amulets, discovering that such items could be linked to ancient gods and forgotten religions.
- Magnus delved into information about the Scourged. He found that those who came into contact with the Scourged were susceptible to [[The Taint]], a condition that rots the body from within and eventually transforms the afflicted into a Scourged. Additionally, he uncovered a passage about the worship of [[Ymros, the Raven King]], in the Shattered Isles:
>Ymros, the Raven King, guardian of the veil and keeper of souls, presides where the boundaries between life and death blur. Among the scattered communities of the Shattered Isles, worship of Ymros was common, and a yearly festival was dedicated to this mysterious spirit. It is said that those seeking protection from restless dead would don black feathers and ceremonial garb, embodying the visage of the Raven King to ward off malevolent forces and claim his watchful favor.

- Accompanying the text was a painting of a man cloaked in dark plumage, a beak-shaped mask cast over solemn eyes. On a sketch from a different angle you see the same stone-etched amulet strung around his neck. Beneath the images, a caption reads:

> Bear his mark to become his ward; the Raven’s protection is a double-edged sword.
After reading this passage Magnus received another vision, this time of a man on a beach dressed in a suit of raven feathers performing some kind of ritual. He again relayed this to the party. He did not relay the feeling that Ymros is calling out to him.
