I have a question related to the Remix:

When the PCs are investigating the murders in Insight Park, it lays out the victims' names, a bit about them, their recent histories, and close relations. But... I don't understand how the players (or anybody) would come by this information?

Random dead bodies pop up, how would one identify them at all? There's no DNA or fingerprint database. And most of these people should have been "new to town", so they wouldn't have had concerned family that reported them missing.

The Remix makes it seem as if the players might get the info from Torimesh the druid OR from Candulhollow Mortuary... but how would they have learned it?

I’m planning session one, starting with the Fall of Elturel and planning on running parts of the Remix.

There’s a lot to wrap your head around with the overall lore and plot, so I’m sure there’s things I haven’t caught yet.

But is there a reason why Elturel has both the Order of the Companion knights *and* the Hellriders? I mean, I know what the lore says. But is there any reason I couldn’t just combine those two factions for simplicity’s sake? Would that cause problems with the plot down the line?
