The objective
His name first arrives as a lament: in a trance, Moon River speaks a priest’s words from a thousand years ago, “¿Cómo ha caído el prometedor Isidorito?” (“How has the promising Isidorito fallen?”). The objective is then stated whole: recover the body, recover the spirit with a wish, fulfill what the lich wants to restrain the creature so it can sleep forever, and save the city.
He is in the House of the Black Rider, the old dwelling on the shore of the other city, below, in the dungeons where one of the emissaries was also held.
