The Illithid Ship
Status: Active Location: Near the Spine of the World — exact crash site unknown
Meldir was a prisoner aboard an Illithid Nautiloid (mind flayer ship). The ship crashed. He was found by three hunters and brought to Termalaine.
A crystal recovered from the crash site appears to be a distress beacon — it is sending messages urging Meldir to find the ship.
The Crystal (Distress Beacon)
Purple crystals recovered from the Nautiloid crash site. Illithid in origin — exact name unknown. Appear to function as distress beacons, sending messages to Meldir urging him to find the ship.
