Notes from the Temple of All Gods

In the Halls of Oath and Mercy within the Temple of All Gods, the party comes across various notes and documents detailing elements of the Scarlet Triad's negotiations with the duergar slavers from Hagegraf, as well as some of Ilssrah Embermead's plans within Saggorak. By piecing these notes together, the party is able to uncover the following:

Ilssrah Embermead is the second in command of the Scarlet Triad, but she has been away from Katapesh for many months as she seeks an alliance with the duergar. She also has learned that the magma dragon beneath Saggorak, Veshumirix, holds one of the shards of the Orb of Gold Dragonkind.
Ilssrah has pursued other numerous plans toward weakening Kovlar. One her most significant plays involved tempting the leader of the Stonemason’s Guild, Mountainheart Kolarun Chiselrock, to ally with her. Ilssrah has not mentioned her alliance with the dragon to him. Instead, he believes that Ilssrah plans to attack the city to get what she needs, and then retreat. In exchange for his help in undermining its defenses, she has promised to set the stage for him to rise as a new hero-king of Kovlar.
