Takka Farmlands

Takka is home to Frith and his mother. During the party’s travels in the second act of the story, they visit Takka in order to consult Frith’s mother about an ancient language written on a scroll. However, upon reaching Takka, the Order of Falvor is there waiting for them and have attacked the community and set fire to some of their homes and crops. When the party goes to help, Aelus, leader of the Order, takes Frith’s mother hostage with intent to kill her. Fortunately, the party is able to save her and fight off the order. Afterwards they help save the community. Later, when they present Frith’s mother with the scroll, she tells them that the language isn’t any Soliman dialect and should be analyzed by a scholar at the Great Library of Morra in Dologost. The party then sets off for Dologost, but must first travel through the Azura Rainforest.
