Partially to help myself keep track of what’s going on in the campaign, and partially to help you follow what’s going on, I tried putting together a list of some of the various quests or character motivations going on. If I missed anything, please post.
- You are following Radnir’s path, to try to find out why someone wanted him dead. He was murdered right when he was about to tell you what he discovered in the Broken Lands concerning the Prophet. Fick Nooley had suggested that Radnir had information about how the Prophet could determine the fate of Elik - the life or death of many people, including you. His path has led you to the pyramid.
- Cyrus earlier recovered the Gem of Hasaar, an ancient artifact of his church. It was tainted, though, by a cleric of Dirkar. Cyrus entrusted the Gem to Tarlin, the druid of the Reborn Wood, in the hopes that the druid could discover a way to remove the taint.
- Vangal’s son went into the Land of the Enlightened, and Vangal is trying to locate him. Vangal is also trying to find out what's drawing so many outsiders to the Broken Lands.
- T’erin, just prior to joining the group, was mugged by some Tiger Claw bandits. He has complained about the theft of a prized possession. T’erin also seems to be trying to master his inner power.
- Tarlin, the druid of the Reborn Wood, has asked Silwyn to find a druid of their circle who entered the Broken Lands to help heal the land, taking a powerful magic with him. Tarlin suggested that success could bode well for Silwyn within the Order, and perhaps bring him important responsibilities in the future.
- Tiger Claw bandits seem to be hunting Merim for some reason. Did he simply cross them in some way, or is there more to it than that?
- Bel encountered some of his own people, questing for something that they weren’t specific about. He’s already saved one of them from certain death.
- Tainted and twisted fallen celestials are magically bound to haunt the Broken Lands. Tathika, the helpful witch you met in the Broken Lands, has explained that their souls can be freed by casting a body part of their master summoner into the circle from which they were summoned, which is located in the home of the Enlightened. You have already killed this summoner, and taken her horn and another part of her body.
Also, an earlier summary from much earlier in the campaign contained some information that may come into play at some point in the future.

The WorldGate update is ready, so please run WorldGate prior to Sunday's session. At the "Versioning System" message, click yes. This will update module3#103.pwc to module3#104.pwc. Also, please don't forget to run the in-game updater, to patch your NWN2 installation to 1.12.
It's not ready yet, but there should be a WorldGate update ready prior to next session. I'm putting the finishing touches on a very time-consuming area, and hope to have it up early tomorrow, or sooner.
I've checked out patch 1.12, and there doesn't appear to be anything game breaking. The server has been patched to 1.12, so please go ahead and run the in-game updater to patch to 1.12.
I'm changing some things under the hood on the site (pertaining particularly to permissions). If you notice something that doesn't work, or if you find you can't access something, it means I clicked something I shouldn't have. Shoot me a message or post in the forums, and I'll get it straightened out.

I'm sure all the various factions in the Broken Lands can get confusing as you follow Radnir's path. So, I've uploaded a diagram showing how things link together.
Here is a description of the important points, heading west to east in the diagram:
The far west area contained a cave with a portal. That is how the group ended up here. Spiritmarch was the home of fallen celestials, who had been summoned to fight in a war a few centuries ago, but were smote from the sky in a magical fire. The power of the summoning has kept their sprits bound here. Tathika, a friendly witch, was also in Spiritmarch. She had helped summon the celestials a few centuries ago, but wants to see them freed.
Another witch, Anala (who was in a cave in Spiritmarch) was the master summoner those centuries ago, and wanted to twist the spirits to her own use. The party killed her, and took part of her body to cast into a summoning circle to break the summoning of the fallen celestials, and free the spirits. Tathika, the friendly witch, told the group that the summoning circle is in the land of the Enlightened.
Heading further east, the Wretched were creatures mutated by the Enlightened. The party fought and killed some of them.
The "Village of the Damned" is a small village of peaceful people who barely manage to survive. These villagers depend on the Enlightened for food and water. The Drakonar (dragonmen) have an uneasy peace with the villagers, but hate the Enlightened. Since the main gate into the land of the Enlightened is sealed, the group is trying to enter through the caves/tunnels under the drakonar caves (Throden'whaere).
The self-proclaimed "Enlightened" are descendants of those who survived the razing of the Broken Lands centuries ago. According to Tathika and Vangal, the Enlightened believe that they alone were "chosen" by the gods to start anew, and that the fire from the sky (which some have called the firerain, others the heavenslayer) was a cleansing from the heavens to wash away sins and impurities. They keep those such as the Damned under their thumb, doling out the scarce food and water in the region. {mos_fb_discuss:14}
