The relics have mostly all been pilfered and the only remaining high-value items within are his “Fragments” – his collection of writings. He used the party’s ignorance about his “wares” to hide an artifact known as the “lava core” to complete his assassination mission.Ī collection of tomes from Ranroth the Betrayer are located deep within a cavern Ranroth once used, many decades ago, to store all his relics.
