The current preoccupation of those who play the Grand Games is the current quest for Dagult Neverember’s embezzled gold.
Obliquely referred to by many players of the Grand Game as Neverember’s Enigma, information on the nature of Neverember's momentous secret was initially quite scarce. It was simply known that during the late years of his tenure as Open Lord, Neverember had been engaged in his own machinations.
After his deposition as Open Lord in 1489 and Laeral Silverhand's appointment as Open Lord, those involved in the Game yearned to discover what the former Open Lord of Waterdeep was hiding. When first whispers and later the vast scope of his embezzlement—a half million gold dragons!—came to light, many intuited the truth behind Neverember’s Enigma and its pursuit became even more frenzied.
