A letter is left at the Radiant Heart Chapterhouse addressed for "The attention of the Radiant Heart". Its seal bears no imprint.
It is written in the large, round characters of one who has been taught their letters but lacks skill at them. It is still a mess.

25th Day of Eleint, 1351
Radiant Heart

Greetings,
I know not who to adress this misive to so I leav it in your hands.
Yesterday myself and two others did meet an ominus figur in the southern Cloke Wood Sharp Tooth Woods.
A figur rob'd in blak and wielding a battelmace was laying slaughter to an village of orks. An aura of fear did strike at the heart of those near him.
He did say he sort artifacts for his master which he claimed was the Shadow King.
When told he would not stand unoposed he did atack. On his fall his body did turn to smoke and vanish leaving only his mace.
I seek to lern more of him and so take his weapon to Candle Keep to ask the skolars there.
However I thought it best the Radiant Heart told that the Shadow King may move again.

Regards,
William of Ayleford
Care of the Temple of Torm
Baldur's Gate

In advance of the undead horde, the Order of the Radiant Heart Auxiliary quit their fortified manor in the face of overwhelming odds, escorting the children of the orphanage and the holy relics of the Order into the city.

The children were delivered to the care of the Temple of Ilmater, housed in a building near the Temple. The fighting men of the order took the relics to the temples of Helm, Torm and Tyr, bunking themselves down there during the siege when they had the chance. Otherwise, the banners of the Radiant Heart were seen on the walls beside the city's other defenders.

The Chapterhouse, emptied of its holy treasures but still hallowed ground, was at first avoided by the undead, as if by instinct. That was until some malign will drove them into its grounds, to rend it apart, shattering and smashing it to rubble.

No doubt the Brothers and Sisters of the Order of the Radiant Heart looked on with sadness as their home was destroyed. Yet their Oaths of Fealty were to the city itself, and it was in its defence that they stood.

"One day, Loghain plans to make a trip to Soubar to travel south once again to the ant hill burrow to cut down the ant population. Shortly after arriving, he discovers that a long rope had been tied to a well, with large and totally obvious boot prints imprinted on the ground next to it. Finding it odd that such a rope is here along with the bucket and rope, Loghain descends down the well to investigate.

While exploring a vast network of caves and cutting through an endless amount of giant rats Loghain comes upon a startling site. He discovers a large, underground ruin that has clearly been excavated not too long ago. He smells a hint of dust and smoke in the air but as he looks around he sees braziers and torches lit all around as well as some rubble being stacked in piles near the pillars and walls. He can hear nothing but the soft sound of the deepening air enclosing around him. Something or someone is here he realizes. He raises his sword, which is stained in rat blood, and proceeds deeper into the ruins to discover its hidden truths.

Proceeding into the lower portions, he comes upon a locked door. He can hear strange voices and chanting on the other side of the doorway. Loghain steps back a moment, his steel boots crunching stone pebbles beneath and the voices stop. Loghain looks to his right and barely notices a door covered in web. After opening it and swiftly proceeding down the hallway ahead, killing more rats as he goes, he opens another door and comes upon a room filled with banite worshipers. Loghain engages them with a flurry of sword blows, being careful to not have his sword hit any of the nearby walls. Killing them one by one, he emerges victorious. Tyr favors him this day!
