I'll put Greyforge on the map, and Moonglade Estate can be around somewhere too. Maybe it is inland from here a way? Could it be one of the things you are trying to find?
I like the Battle of Moonglade as a pivotal, epic loss for the elves. What you wrote is similar to what I was thinking, and makes the "granddaughter of a celebrated war hero" family name even harder for her to live up to (as the grandfather lost the battle, her family is substantially poorer, etc). I don't think Moonglade Estate is a pivotal part of the current adventure. The Mages' Guild have their own mission for Tiana. She knows how to get to the estate as every child knows how to get home, but it's overrun with goblins and far from Boldenwald.
With that said, I don't know where the elves actually are. I was thinking both them and the dwarves as far away from Red Oak. You did say there were hordes of goblins about.
After we have routed the goblins from Boldenwald and restored the bloodline of Boldenwald Kings to the throne, we can have Tiana lead the war to recapture Moonglade.

We can work something out.
The dwarves are in 'Aarn', to the north.
The elves have strongholds in the Moon Isles and the Shiant (Enchanted) Isles, off the main map. They are from the west. I called them Moon Isles thinking Tiana could be form there, but never mind.
Boldenwald is vast (like, the size of south-eastern Europe and some of west Asia) and it is
all overrun with goblins and other creatures. And, nowhere else in the campaign is overrun by goblins.
So I'm thinking that Moonglade must be somewhere in Boldenwald, in the east of the world, but if you didn't want it to be part of this mission, I can make it somewhere far away, easily enough.
Let's just say it is lost to goblins, and work it out when we need to.

Incidentally I have moved ALL OOC chat in here, and I'd like to keep it neat from now on.
Otherwise I have trouble remembering in which thread we were talking about what subject.
If I post in Rules or Background and you want to to ask questions, can you do it over here?
Cheers,
SL.

Absolutely. Makes complete sense. I was trying to look up the spell description of animate last night and failed miserably.

BTW, I noticed that Tiana had goblin learned. I replaced it with Sylvan. Does that make sense?

Yeah, it's OK.
Sylvan is a language spoken by things like pixies, grigs, house-spirits, gerbalaine (mice spirits), etc.
There are some around in the western areas, where the elves are. And some in the humans\ kingdoms too, although they keep very well hidden.
You are hoping there might be a few sylvan creatures who still live on in hiding in the eastern forest / Boldenwald region as well.

Did you want me to add 10% to Talin's XP?
