*** While a ghost from the first fight, fortress raid and take the Codex I go to retrieve
*** Except the Maran is dead

Standing Before the Fortress of Light 
  The Fortress of Light rises before you, standing strong and proud in a
mantle of snow and ice.  The thick walls of this fortress are built of huge,
perfectly cut, white stones fitted tightly together.  The stones along the
base of the fortress are enormous, taller than any giant and more massive
than most houses.  Pennants flying above the watchtowers rustle and flap
defiantly in the chill winds.  The huge gate of polished silver is guarded
by a lone figure.

The Snowy Courtyard 
  A mantle of well packed snow cloaks the frozen ground, gleaming brightly in
the sunlight.  Many tracks lead in all directions.  Chill mountain winds
swirl about, trapped by the massive walls of the fortress.  The courtyard
continues to the north, east and west.  The massive silver gates of the
fortress rise to the south.

  This large gray tent is littered with all types of crates, boxes and
barrels.  Dried meats and fruits hang from the hooks and ropes attached to
the center pole.  Sacks of flour, grain and other foodstuffs are scattered
over every inch of the floor.  A quiet half-elf stands at the center of this
maze, silently tracking each arriving caravan.  The open tent flap leads
west, back into the snowy courtyard.
