Commander,
While the Vigil continues to struggle against the constant encroachment of enemy forces, I did manage to send a small scouting party to explore the unopened gate we discovered leading into the western mountains.
After much trial and error, the scouts were finally able to dissipate the Svanir shaman's corruptive magic and unlock the door with a Raven lens. Rytlock and Crecia went through almost immediately to chase down Bangar, though I've yet to hear word from either one since they passed through.
I don't have any scouts I'm comfortable sending through the gate, but I know what lies on the other side: the lake where Svanir called out to the Ice Dragon's champion long ago. It is a place of great power. Great and terrifying power.
Be careful.
