So it may have been something the FoE author came up with and never elaborated on.    If I have to theorize, here's a few thoughts.   Erandis is searching for a way to unlock the power of her inert dragonmark. Aundair is the center for the most advanced arcane research in the Five Nations. Erandis could already have agents in place in Arcanix using its resources to pursue her interests... or she could have plans to make use of it in the future. On that note, one of the most powerful spellcasters in Khorvaire - Mordain the Fleshweaver - is an elf that studied at Arcanix. Mordain's early history has never been developed. Was he a lone prodigy, or is he a scion of a line of accomplished elves? If so, there could be history between this family and Erandis. Many of the elves of Khorvaire trace their roots back to the lines that allied with Vol and were exiled after Vol was erradicated. Mordain's family could be old allies of Erandis working on her interests... or they could be old rivals who still hold a grudge against Vol for being driven from their homeland. If you want to get more esoteric, Aundair is known to be the resting place of the Overlord Sul Khatesh, the Keeper of Secrets. Perhaps she holds the secrets Erandis needs...

I used the 3.5 ECS as a guide on organizing the content. It's a large document but I think it will be a helpful resource that I can keep updated.   I'll be sharing it soon.   edit-not the Dragonshards from the Wizard site though links to those are also provided.
