===Esomelech's Tomb===
[[Esomelech]] is known as the Keeper of the Chronicle.

Here, the party found a surprise. Rather than a fight, Esomelech lived, as a [[Deathless]] mummy. He asked for news of the outside world, which he added to his already full library. He willingly gave the party his key, and offered to answer three questions for them -- stating that his ability to answer questions, and thereby interact with current events, was limited by the magic that kept him alive.  He was a watcher, eternal, and prevented from any more than limited interaction with events.

Though two of the questions the Companions asked have since been lost to time, it is known that they asked him what the amulets for which they were questing were ''for''.  He responded by giving them a description of the [[Ceremony of Union]].

When last they saw him, Esomelech was still writing on a scroll, keeping his Chronicle up to date.
