Plot Hooks

Locale

Where is Your Rider?

A riderless horse, with tack and saddle, approaches you and will not leave you alone. When you climb onto its back, it gallops to the west.

Blake Selwyn has been missing in this region for days.

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Sawyer Reddy went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

Land Pirates

A group of pirates have created massive ships on wheels and prown the plains looking for victims and loot.

Fareed Abbey is constructing their own land boat.

The Garrison

A group of soldiers fighting a war have come to town, looking for a place to stay and rest. The problem is, the war they're fighting ended over 100 years ago.

Elana Pierce isn't convinced the soldiers are ghosts.

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.

Adrian Brightleaf fears they will run out of wood. Nina Kastrix cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

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.

Runar Abbey has known the woman with the visions since they were a child.

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Olivier Kaye believes there is always a bigger fish. Sumesh Colman is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Trixie Wolfbrother thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

Monster Maker

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

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