Locale

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

When Sylvia Alma was a child, their father went missing.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Dwyer Sweeny cannot identify where the wounds come from. Aubrey Abasi suggests you speak to the local seer.

An Evil Lurks

A long abandoned fortress to the north has been seen lit up at night by floating blue lights. A foul air permeates the nearby land.

Ahsoka Dempsy warns that odd fey creatures live in the region. Jody Abasi wouldn't go near the fortress if you paid them.

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.

Dora Enola watched the invaders burn a village. Dag Broadbent wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Hart Poots believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Friedrich Erwin fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

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.

Aric Marshall isn't convinced the soldiers are ghosts.

Slavers!

You follow the directions to the quest location, only to find yourself surrounded by slavers!

Ego Black assures you this is an easy job.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Hiaenna Huon, Alaysia Mervor, and Roger Davis.

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Trixie Todd refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Kendra Monroe offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.
