Plot Hooks

Locale

The Missing Librarian

A scholar has been called away to explore a newly discovered ancient mine. He has not returned.

Karen Nighy is friends with the scholar, but Max Brocksby thinks they might have something to do with the scholar's disappearance.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Derrick Norton, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Justin Bozier recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Taylor Colman has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Bruce Wood can guide you to the location where the star fell. River Alard noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

The Missing Kid

A boy has vanished. They know where he is, he's invisible.

Malak Molyneaux thinks the boy has been cursed.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Jericho Walker, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Peter Rook is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

The Haunted Bay

Ghosts are said to haunt a bay that was once home to a busy port. Some say the ghosts are from a sunken ship that crashed 100 years ago.

Runar Mazdan thinks that the ghosts aren't real, and someone is playing a trick on the community.

Grimoire Gone

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

Eden Sebastian is terrified that the Wizard's spell is in the world. Riley Spring may have information on a possible thief.

One with the Night

You are told to meet a potential quest-giver in a nearby cemetery. Upon arrival, it is clear this person is a vampire...

Trixie Amal warns you that Sazi Jayid, the quest giver, is strange and potentially dangerous.
