History
Sometime around the, Halsin came into conflict with Ketheric Thorm and the army of Dark Justiciars he formed in the Underdark. While he emerged victorious, the great druid could not prevent them bringing shadow upon the lands around the Moonrise Towers.

In the, Halsin opened up his grove to a group of tieflings that fled west from the city of Elturel.

That same year Halsin encountered a drow who had been infected with a mind flayer tadpole, but had yet to undergo the process of ceremorphosis. Intrigued and worried about this, he began traveling west to the Moonrise Towers, meeting up with Aradin and his adventuring party along the way.

Unfortunately, Halsin was captured by the goblinoid members of the Cult of the Absolute, and imprisoned within the ruined Selûnite temple referred to as the Shattered Sanctum.
