Alak had only recently returned to the Drow - with mixed reception - but his time on the surface had quickly risen to the attention of those at the top of the food chain. The time he had spent there had familiarized him with the peoples, languages, and gave him a certain amount of immunity to the sun and its bright, horrible rays.
Because of this relative resistance, it had fallen into his lap to continue traveling the surface to make allies and scout paths for the army. But who would want to ally with a Drow? Most surfacers would have heard stories of the cruelty and self-serving nature of the dark elves, and wouldn't even consider such an alliance.
So Alak had decided that the correct route was to start with people who were either likeminded, willing to broaden their horizons, or were already involved in unsavory things themselves. Enter Alak's search.
Vampires, liches, undead or even a variety of the more violent orcs would all do the trick, as far as Alak was concerned. Not far from Bhathairk, Alak had begun his search. In the underbelly of the city where pirates and the most violent of orcs resided, Alak had heard rumors of a small camp of more unsavory individuals. All manner of the terrors that Alak was looking for were rumored to reside there. A haven for vampires and undead and Drow and all the other things he was looking for. Although small, it was just the type of place that might have the sort Alak was looking for.
With the sun setting and the moon rising, Alak set out along the dark path that was reputed to lead to his goal. The road - really more of a walking path - was partially overgrown in many areas and was mostly a wardened mud that stuck to the shoes after the recent rain, but if this wasn't a trap - a sizable "if" - he should have been arriving soon.
