-Over 100 years ago, Grand Duke Eltan assigned Art Cullagh with the mission to investigate the Thorm family and Reithwin's [[House of Healing]] to determine whether a Sharran cult was being established in the town. However, once Ketheric Thorm unleashed the [[Shadow Curse]], he became trapped in the [[Shadowfell]] for an extended period of time, causing his mental condition to deteriorate. Prior to the arrival of the party, he wandered out of the Shadowfell and was cared for by the [[Harpers]] and [[Flaming Fist]]s within the [[Last Light Inn]]. If the party rescued [[Florrick]] from the burning building in [[Waukeen's Rest]], then [[J'ehlar|Fist J'ehlar]] will be tending to his wounds.

-The party can attempt to speak with Art as he lies unconscious and sings about [[Thaniel]]. He remains unresponsive but bringing this information to [[Halsin]] will progress [[Lift the Shadow Curse]] and unlock the quest to [[Wake up Art Cullagh]]. Halsin determines that the party must retrieve Art's {{SmRarityItem|Battered Lute}} from the [[House of Healing]] and play its music to wake him up.

-If the party recovers the Battered Lute from [[Malus Thorm]] and plays it for Art, then he finally awakens and desperately asks for Halsin's help. Art explains that he met Thaniel in the Shadowfell and while he can't pinpoint Thaniel's location, he does recall that it always "smelled of lavender" around him. This information allows the party to complete [[Lift the Shadow Curse]].

-Alternatively, Art may die during [[Resolve the Abduction]] if [[Isobel]] is kidnapped or killed. However, the party can still cast {{SAI|Speak with Dead}} to ask him about [[Thaniel]], which skips [[Wake up Art Cullagh]] and progresses [[Lift the Shadow Curse]] anyway.

 After the party has completed [[Defeat Ketheric Thorm]], Art can be found in Ketheric's throne room alongside several other NPCs. He thanks the party profusely if they successfully removed the Shadow Curse, but sadly laments that his health is now rapidly deteriorating since it was sustained by the Shadowfell.
