The Errant Wizard

A famous wizard was meant to meet you, but never arrived. Rumours has it that the wizard went to the southern coast in search of an artifact, and never returned.

The Riders Come

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Jackson Broadbent warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Bedelia Erwin once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.

Domestication or Slavery?

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Friedrich Northrend will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.

Reflections
