Plot Hooks

Locale

The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Rowan Monroe saw Brom Abasi speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

Cannibals

There's a small town near the edge of the map which is full of humanoids who eat the flesh of other humanoids.

Eden Erwin is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

The Yeti

A mysterious beast with white hair has been seen nearby. It's roars can be heard at night.

Brom Blueflower is going to hunt the animal down.

Premonitions

A woman has begun seeing the future. These premonitions come with no warning, and cause her pain and stress when they do. Her latest premonition deals with the end of the world as we know it.

Marilyn Freeman has known the woman with the visions since they were a child.

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.

Valeria Black hasn't stopped crying in a week.

The Pursuer

A hulking monster has been sent to hunt down members of a military squad which fought in the last great war.

Liara Ashfield and their partner Sahin Kaye were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Henry Weston is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Salvatore Shadowcloak led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

The Storm

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

Elvira Norton seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Vivien Proudfoot thinks it's the work of the gods.

The Missing Mentor

You are to meet an old mentor from your past at an old ruin in the wilds. You arrive early and wait for them. You know them to be punctual, always. They never arrive.

Sisco Pierce has never reached out to you like this, you fear their concerns are grave.
