The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

William Kaye refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Ewan Lucas offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

The Great Tree

There is a magical tree which grows in the forest that has been targeted by drow.

The drow wish to remove the tree in an effort to weaken the beings who live in the forest. Delia Jayid needs help stopping them.

A New World

You are part of a fleet of colony ships. Struck by a storm the fleet was scattered, and your ship makes landing on an unknown shore. The other ships are lost and the inhabitants are unhappy that you are here.

Qualen Malfoy is concerned about the gathering storm clouds. Vivien Mervor expects the the land to be empty of intelligent beings.

Monster Maker

A man plans to exact revenge on all those who slighted him by creating a monster that will follow his every command.

Gar Potter isn't too worried. The guy who wants to create the monster is a known failure.

The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

River Shadowmourne is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

The Storm

A massive storm has been raging for a month. There is no let up, and it appears to stretch across the continent.

Arios Thom seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Rory Elonil thinks it's the work of the gods.

The Fight

A famous pugilist is looking for one last fight.

Sadie Lesley is interested in taking up the challenge.

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Anika El-Hasan fears they will run out of wood. Arios Northrend cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

Under the Lake

A shining light has appeared out in the middle of the lake, under the water...

Elvira Mehmed has said they plan to swim out to the light and see what it is.
