A Weary Traveler (X:-132, Y:-161) is on the Rosymorn Monastery Trail which leads to the Shadow-Cursed Lands. If the party skips the Mountain Pass, he instead appears within the Shadow-Cursed Lands. The old man asks to see Gale and, if Gale is in the party, he is identified as the great wizard [[Elminster Aumar]]. Elminster is an emissary of Mystra, seeking Gale to relay a message to him and a special charm. He firsts asks if he can rest at camp first and get a proper meal, to which he can be met at camp immediately or at a later time.

If the party skips the Mountain Pass, he instead appears within the Shadow-Cursed Lands near the elevator which leads down to [[Grymforge]]. If the player avoids the Weary Traveler at the earlier 2 locations, he will appear on the stone bridge right in front of [[Moonrise Towers]], close to the [[Waypoint]].

Once at camp, Elminster states that the Cult of the Absolute has been watched by Mystra, who believes it to be a threat to the Weave and the fabric of reality itself. Gale is the one person who can stop it, by detonating his Netherese Orb in the heart of the Absolute. If Gale sacrifices himself, he will have redeemed himself in the eyes of Mystra. Elminster also casts a charm on Gale, granting him control over the Orb. He is able to detonate it at will. With the message imparted, Elminster wishes Gale and the party the best of luck in defeating the Absolute and departs.
