He seems to have a great interest in both the activities of the lich-lord Vedroth, and in accumulating a number of powerful magical items.
  
 Greshtik himself is a secretive character, and his agents often employ rather ruthless tactics to achieve their goals. Despite this, there is no evidence so far that Greshtik is acting against the interests of the citizens of Lockenport. His long-term motivations remains unclear at this stage. Greshtik himself is a secretive character, and his agents often employ rather ruthless tactics to achieve their goals.

-During the recent Festival of the Moons, the Brotherhood of the Swan read out five portents for the year ahead: Moons, Star, Death, Darkness and Freedom. Scholars have speculated that the first portent indicates that this year's crossing of the moons has a particular significance for the coming year, but theories on the remaining symbols are as numerous as the members of Lockenport'​s Forecaster'​s Guild.+During the recent ​[[festival_of_the_moons|Festival of the Moons]], the [[brotherhood_of_the_swan|Brotherhood of the Swan]] read out five portents for the year ahead: Moons, Star, Death, Darkness and Freedom.

-When last visiting Tinkett, two of the Irregulars drank a potent tea made from Ven leaves. These leaves are reputed to offer some form of insight into the future. Both of them entered a deep trance. Upon awakening, Zulak experienced an overwhelming sense of loss, and a fading memory of attending the funeral of someone close to him, while Petru remembered standing with his companions in the midst of a great battle. He recalled a giant blue lizard fighting as an ally against a wall of undead.+When last visiting Tinkett, two of the Irregulars drank a potent tea made from Ven leaves.

-News of a possible invasion by Vedroth and his fearsome undead legions has driven Lockenport'​s citizens into a frenzy. Hoarding of essential goods has caused some prices to sky-rocket, and the Irregulars Guild has had a sharp spike in the number of commissions from merchant families, guilds and other citizens of Lockeport, all of whom want to ensure that their families and business interests are protected against any conflict.+News of a possible invasion by Vedroth and his fearsome undead legions has driven Lockenport'​s citizens into a frenzy.

-Numerous scouts have been dispatched to patrol the treacherous Badlands on the west coast of Comack Island, since this is generally assumed to be the most likely point of arrival for Vedroth'​s army. The Irregulars Guild has instructed all its members to make themselves available for as many assignments as possible, and has drafted additional staff to assist with the administration of the Guild.+Numerous scouts have been dispatched to patrol the treacherous ​[[badlands|Badlands]] on the west coast of Comack Island, since this is generally assumed to be the most likely point of arrival for Vedroth'​s army.
