It might help to have a play inside the druid's grove, wherein the story of Shar and her dark worshipers is told. Perhaps a telling of how the dark justiciars stole children.
I don't know. I kind of hate plays in video games because they always feel stuck in time, stagnant, like the play never changes with the passing weeks.
But since the dark justiciars have impacted the locals, it seems reasonable that there might be stories about them. Anything visceral to help the players understand.
I agree that it should be more than just lore books, although I do appreciate the books. I just think it needs to be beaten in a little more fully, with imagery and sound.
