Plot Hooks

Locale

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Donal Poots watched the invaders burn a village. Jacek Spring wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

Grimoire Gone

A great wizard's spellbook has been stolen. The spellbook holds one of the rarest and most destructive spells.

Delia Wilton is terrified that the Wizard's spell is in the world. Sandra Hale may have information on a possible thief.

Hurricane

A massive hurricane has sprung up from nowhere.

Sarab Hynes heard Robert Grail say that a druid is to blame.

The Ball

The King and Queen are throwing a ball. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY

Moe Faelyn might shave their legs.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Pascal Norton swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Yazid Shad heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Ember Huon, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Valeria Duval is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Landon Duval tells you not to go down that road. River Hawkwing smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

Heat Wave

A wall of flame a mile high and thirty miles long is spreading through the forest, destroying everything in its path.

Alicia Leaffall thinks the wall of flame began near a wizard's tower home.
