Plot
While the elves of New Sharandar were busy dealing with Malabog, Valindra's Thayan armies established a Dread Ring within the Neverwinter Woods. Within the forest, she sought to raise the ancient black dragon, Lorragauth, as a massive dracolich. In order to deal with this new threat, Neverwinter raised a massive army called the Neverwinter Vanguard, that allied themselves withe a new faction that appeared on the Sword Coast known the Thayan Resurrection. Led by the enigmatic Rath Modar, this group of Red Wizards were exiled from Thay for speaking out against the actions of the nation's regent, Szass Tam.

Joined by the Heroes of Sleeping Dragon Bridge, the Neverwinter Vanguard penetrated the Dread Ring in the Neverwinter Wood and set up a base camp to fight back against Valindra and her Red Wizard allies. With the aid of the Thayan Resurrection they removed the undead-controlling Thayans from their home and finally destroyed Valindra herself, sending her soul back to her phylactery.
