Clearly the answer is Sapphiraktar the Blue, but I don't know where to find the canonical source of the above Frostrune-/Blackstaff-specific information. |

I know at least one source--the novel Blackstaff. |

Correct!
**sigh** my first question and it's answered in a fraction of the time as the much easier last one. **sigh** |

Krash and Sage specialize in answering these questions in an indecently short amount of time. |

Found it! 
But I'm going to leave it alone for the moment, at least until I can prep a question of my own. |

As they should! I suppose I'll just have to be even more fiendish if I should ever correctly answer another one. I will learn from this and come back stronger. |

Whoa! For a second there, I thought I'd have to look this one up. I remember it now though. 
I'm thinking you might be forced to provide a hint for this one. |

That's usually why I take some time away from this scroll every few days. I don't want it to seem like I'm answering ALL the obscure questions!  |

No time to look for him this morning.

I did not mean to confuse with my improper use of english there friend, I was trying to be vague and not use himself or herself and thus give a small hint! |

I'm not sure I get this clue... But, unless I am mistaken (and I shall for once await confirmation), the item you speak of is Mierest's Starlit Sphere. Page 45 of FR4 The Magister notes that this item is "Said to be a gift from the purple-cloaked archmage to a traveler who visited Shamblegate".
I held off on answering until I could find a good question to ask. |

Correct. Usually my clues are obvious but I thought I'd be clever this time (or try ... *ahem*). Selûne for the "starlit" part and roundly for the "sphere". Oh well, that's what I get for being a smartypants.
The floor is yours Wooly.

Ah, okay. I get it now. I wasn't looking far enough into it.
I was originally trying for obscurity, but Sage and Krash keep taking away that attempt at fun.
Instead I found some intriguing bit, and decided to run with it.
This inn is the site of at least 20 unicorn sightings a year. None know the nature of the unicorn, but it has more than once lead pursuers to great wealth. Name the inn. |

Are they pink Unicorns?
Time for a hint?
Is Unicorn in the name of the Inn? |

Hint: This inn is located in a very safe city of the Heartlands, defended by a large number of horsemen.
The next hint I give will be about the sourcebook. |

You got it! The next question is yours.
The place is also mentioned in FRA, but there are no details about it there.
The other hint I was going to give: This inn was described by a well-known traveller. |
