The party had travelled to Tara for the royal banquet with the trade delegation from the frozen Fey nation of Jotunheim. While there they had a chance to talk to the Grand High Druid, delight in Olaf being embarrassed by his mother who had travelled with the delegation to see her "little rock gnome" and then Bronwyn found herself talking to her uncle Dergant. A frost giant she has hated for a long time, she was shocked by his change in demeanor from the arrogant, hateful man she meet in Jotunheim as well as being told the beautiful necklace which her personal maid said had been delivered to her house actually belonged to her frost giant mother and was a family heirloom passed down through the women of her biological family. But before they could continue the conversation the party noticed royal guards being to enter the throne room and heard the sounds of gunfire from the corridors outside.
