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.
The party having arrived at the banquet see that the frost giants in the delegation are in fact Bronwyn's biological family, including the uncle she meet previously when she travelled to Jotunheim to learn more about her past and who sent a night troll after her to scare her away.
