Edgar

Edgar the Tortoise

Edgar completes a large mapping spell outside the high-elf castle and delivers a detailed internal diagram to Carl's attached pub.

Story so far

Areson reports that Edgar is working near the high-elf castle on a major final-battle spell. The tortoise's effort produces a precise multilevel map of the fortress and sends it to Carl's staging location.

The diagram exposes the two ballroom floors, assistant areas, throne room, residential center, tunnels, subterranean dungeon, secret entrance, southern exit, and external cliff. Carl uses it to brief Katia, Imani, Louis, Donut, and Samantha.
