Ahghairon's Day is a Waterdhavian holiday commemorating the birthday of the famous, long-ago "Wizard Lord" of Waterdeep. Many small rituals are held throughout the day: the Lords toast Ahgairon and the Watchful Order, and guildmasters toast the Lords in Ahgairon's name. This year, Laeral Silverhand, the Open Lord of Waterdeep, has a special task for your party.

Complete the task and recruit James (Jim) Winifred Darkmagic III, whom you may recognize from his adventures with Acquisitions Incorporated, or more likely his (famous?) traveling magic show, the Jim Darkmagic Experience, coming soon to a market village square or village tavern near you.

This event will run until Monday, August 26th at Noon PDT.
