A team of Lantern Company recruits went on an expedition to the Root-Hall Ruins. They learned that the ruins were an ancient elven temple dedicated to the deity Aelthir Vaelor. The team recovered a journal entry describing an incident with a priest named Revalor. It described him falling into madness after claiming to hear voices beneath the temple altar. He attacked his fellow clergy during prayer, killing three before the survivors bound and buried him behind the shrine.

The temple was protected by a Root Guardian who became non-hostile when the party was able to establish communication. There was a shrine and three rune tablets that appeared to fit into the shrine. When asked about the shrine, the guardian told the party that if they placed the runes on the shrine he would be free, no longer bound to the temple. Initially skeptical, the party chose to offer the guardian kindness and release him.

Unfortunately, when the party checked the perimeter one last time, they found the disturbed marked grave of Revalor Farna. the group was able to find footprints leading to the north, but lost track of them once they approached the forest line.

The Root-Hall Ruins lie approximately two days east of Last Lantern along the planned eastern route. The temple itself has been explored and cleared of corrupted plant creatures.

Travelers should remain alert for signs of an intelligent undead matching the description of an ancient elven priest. The exact nature of Revalor's abilities is unknown, but his corruption may be linked to the Ashwall itself and appears capable of influencing nearby plant life.
