Adventures of the Maelstrom

Maelstrom Heroes

  After securing peace between the Pirates of the Vast Sea and the Dawn Alliance, Drazeeros convinced the party to recover powerful artifacts from around the continent. During their journey, they met the mysterious Darius, a powerful assassin, who became a constant thorn to their side. Karissa and Shak Rah began having nightmares of demonic flying ships while they were all warned of a coming darkness. Despite the grimness, the Maelstrom triumphantly slew a dragon tyrant, saved Valeryos from fiendish control, freed oppressed Thamarian mages, started a rebellion against The Order, and found two powerful artifacts.   However, in a twist, Drazeeros urged the party to give him the artifacts to begin a ritual to save a "dying" Aeros. The crew quickly felt betrayal as Drazeeros opened a rift to a dark, alternate reality where Karissa's nightmares became true as an armada of demonic ships and creatures entered their world. Barely defeating Darius, the son of Demon Lord Zoul and dark Karissa, the party closed the rift but not before Lord Zoul made himself known. Taunting the victorious heroes, the demon lord sent them through the closing rift to the dark reality. With the rift between realities closed and Lord Zoul's forces in their world, the heroes are now in a dire situation: no ship, no allies, and no way home to stop the demon lord's rampage.
