A few months before Campaign 4, Episode 1The Taking of the Stone of NightsongThjazi and Thimble took the Stone of Nightsong during their last major adventure; Thimble calls it a recovery, while Vaelus calls it theft.
Seven masked attackers struck at the exact time Thimble was preparing the rescue glyph, removed their dead and stole magical objects.
The attackers removed the Stone of Nightsong and other magical objects from the hideout. It remains unclear whether stealing the relic was their primary objective or opportunistic theft after attacking Thimble.
The Stone was removed from the hideout during the attack. Its purpose is now known, but its current holder and the motive for taking it are not.
The Stone was created after Sylandri’s original nightingale guardian was destroyed during the Shapers’ War.
Vaelus witnessed the death of Sylandri, described as the final god of Aramán, seventy years before Episode 1.
Vaelus remembers watching the final god of Aramán die seventy years earlier, but the place, cause and killer are not revealed.
Statements are labelled by how the transcript establishes them, so direct depiction, testimony, belief and disputed accounts remain distinct.
Kattigan finds fingerprints and traces of sorcery around a shattered glass case. Everything of magical importance in the hideout appears to have been taken except the escape glyph Thimble carried into the grate.

Thimble confirms that she and Thjazi recovered the Stone of Nightsong during their last major adventure together, approximately a few months before Thjazi’s execution.
Thimble cannot understand how the attackers discovered the secret hideout or arrived at precisely the right time. She concludes that something or someone betrayed the rescue operation.
Thimble draws the stolen relic for Occtis. It is a spherical carved stone formed by a bird embracing itself within its wings, which Thjazi described as a nightingale.
After studying Thimble’s drawing, Occtis says that he knows someone who may be able to help identify or understand the Stone of Nightsong.
Vaelus calls Thjazi a thief and says that he stole something belonging to her.
Vaelus initially describes the stolen object only as a simple stone and declares that she can wait until Halandil searches Thjazi’s belongings.
Aranessa recognises that Vaelus has come from the Mournvale, and Vaelus confirms that she travelled for weeks.
Vaelus identifies the stolen object as the Stone of Nightsong, and Bolaire immediately recognises the name.
Vaelus recognises Bolaire as someone she already knows, although the history of their acquaintance remains unexplained.
Vaelus notices that a female fairy companion who travelled with Thjazi and was present when the Stone was taken is absent from the Farramh.
Murray says that some mourners may be able to help Vaelus but asks her to lower the hostility in front of the grieving family.
Bolaire demands to know why Vaelus is damaging her chances of recovering the Stone. Vaelus responds that Bolaire allowed her into Dol-Makjar.
Bolaire recalls that the Stone was created so elves killed through accident or injury could reach Sylandri’s Garden of the Spirit without suffering during the journey.
The Stone allowed elven spirits to be ferried swiftly through the Tenebral Reaches by a spirit of song and night without touching its hardship or pain.
The Stone was created after Sylandri’s original guardian spirit, an immortal nightingale, was destroyed during the Shapers’ War.
Bolaire asks what it would take for Vaelus to leave the grieving family alone and argues that the Fangs do not knowingly possess the Stone.
Vaelus asks where the little fairy companion who travelled with Thjazi can be found. Murray and Bolaire realise that she means Thimble.
Kattigan reconstructs the attack upon Thimble’s hideout and finds evidence pointing towards the Crow Keepers. Seven masked attackers entered expecting a fight, three were killed, and the survivors removed the bodies and stole the Stone of Nightsong.
An unnatural cold falls across the Rookery as Vaelus, an elven Sister of the fallen goddess Sylandri, arrives from the Mournvale. She accuses Thjazi of stealing the Stone of Nightsong and demands that Halandil return it.
