3 of 24 Saints stored in the Lyrandar workshop in Perdition remained. All others appeared to have been moved. The Saint with the now dislodged dragonshard was left behind. Saint Michael was activated and accepted command from the party. The House Vadalis agent was spotted and captured (unconscious). Her notes were taken off her person but were unable to he translated by the party. Tools and materials were retrieved from the warehouse, as well as three dragonshard fragments. The party left Perdition and settled on interrogating the Vadalis agent on their way back to the FWPoK hideaway outside of Eldamar. Anaharath ran into a strange person with something to give or report to them, but left in a hurry.   Once on the airship, the agent was found to under no magical bounds, but still refused to give away much if any further information about her purpose at the warehouse; the only takeaways were that she was not employed by House Lyrandar but rather House Cannith, and that Cannith suspects that the Saints under Lyrandar's construction are to be marketed as house servants rather than military forces. In lieu of divulging anything further, the agent sent out some form of message to her employer, and told Anaharath that he could expect to receive a message at his Eldamar home.   The Saint was interrogated by Deathroar, Wrench, and Kalithin. They were able to glean that the Saint has some form of sense and awareness of other Saints when nearby them, and this seems to extend to Warforged as well. Michael shared with them that it cannot make it's own schematics, and that he was built by the Creators who "create for the Theorist". There was a heated discussion over whether or not Michael would have the capacity to gain sentience like the Warforged had at the end of the Last War, and whether or not it would be ethical to endeavor to create sentience within him. Deathroar broke down aspects of sentient existence to him, and gave him new orders in the form of learning and developing towards full sentience, which he accepted.   The bulk of the party returned the agent and Michael both to the FWPoK, who had little to add on either count. Donano suggested a FWP base in the lowest level of Sharn (the cogs) as the final destination for the agent, where they may be able to use magical means to extract further information from her, and there is a chance an agent there can translate her codebook, which seems to be written in a variant of thieves' cant. While the party returned to the FWP, Anaharath returned to the Hawthorne Estate to hopefully receive the message. The messenger had already arrived to the Hawthorne home and had made themselves comfortable with his family. The messenger revealed themselves to be Silver Cannith, and offered funding and support for the party's endeavors, both personal and in regards to the Saints, in exchange for their hired hand. The party was quite torn on this, but settled on retrieving any more information they could from the Vadalis agent before pressing Silver for whatever information they have, and only then returning her and receiving their monetary reward. For the time being, it would seem that an enemy of an enemy is a friend.
