Before the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] were overcome by Shar's curse, the Infernal Mason was a Selûnite named Morfred. {{cite text|Halfred's Note|Halfred}} Morfred worked at [[Reithwin Town|Reithwin Town's]] mason guild, under his master the great general [[Ketheric Thorm]]. | Before the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] were overcome by Shar's curse, the Infernal Mason was a Selûnite named Morfred. {{cite text|Mason's Letter|Morfred|name=MasLetter}}{{cite text|Halfred's Note|Halfred}} Morfred worked at [[Reithwin Town|Reithwin Town's]] mason guild, under his master the great general [[Ketheric Thorm]]. | ||
The town was originally home to many [[Selûne|Selûnites]], including Ketheric and his family. It was the Mason who was the original architect of Moonrise Towers, a grand symbol of devotion to Selûne, to "reach for the stars and dry [her] tears". {{ref|Mason's dialogue at the House of Hope}} | The town was originally home to many [[Selûne|Selûnites]], including Ketheric and his family.

After the death of Ketheric's daughter, he turned to Shar and built up an army of [[Dark Justiciar]]s. Morfred witnessed Ketheric's descent, growing his army and rooting out every last trace of Selûne in Reithwin. He and his brother Halfred were eventually the last remaining Selûnite leaders in the town, joined by worshippers in secret. {{cite text|Mason's Log|Morfred|name=log}} | After the death of Ketheric's daughter, he turned to Shar and built up an army of [[Dark Justiciar]]s.

Raphael honoured his deal by sending [[Yurgir]] and his merregons, who slaughtered all but one Justiciar. Without his army, and routed by the [[Harpers]], Ketheric released the shadow curse as a final act of desperation. Morfred died some time later and became a debtor, bound to the House of Hope. | Raphael honoured his deal by sending [[Yurgir]] and his merregons, who slaughtered all but one Justiciar.

* {{ | While looting a Dark Justiciar's corpse in the [[Ruined Battlefield]], the player will discover the beginnings of an investigation into a Selûnite resistance that had occurred during the Justiciar's occupation years ago. | ||
* {{ | |||
* | The note on the corpse will direct the party to a potter's workshop; one of the Selûnite holdouts. At the house is another note, documenting another holdout under the [[Last Light Inn]]. In the inn's cellar, a small shrine to Selûne keeps a [[Halfred's Note|letter]] from Morfred's brother Halfred, writing how Morfred was gathering a network of allies against Ketheric Thorm, and pointing to the Mason's Guild as another holdout. | ||
The final point of investigation takes the party through a hatch in the Mason's Guild to the basement. All that remains are the shadowed remnants of Morfred's resistance, and his [[Mason's Log|logbook]]. Morfred's log documents Ketheric's downfall, the rise of his army, and Morfred's final attempt to stop him by making a deal with Raphael. | |||
