In the Wilds:
You find yourself taking a boat to the land of the once glorious
Xandertopian Empire. The largest empire known to creation.
115 years ago it endured civil war, and was torn apart from
the inside, and out. Creatures of evil were drawn to the chaos
and assisted in the destruction of the realm. The land now
lies as a no man's land. Shrouded in darkness and evil. Some
encampments of light remain. Scattered and warring to claim
the land of the once great and prosperous Empire. Political
intrigue and magical machinations are a constant. What
draws you to this foresaken land?
The land is dark and forsaken, with magical powers lurking around nearly every rock and tree. As the four heroes who arrived in Solebury by ship in the night, soon found out. A slightly wet and shaken up Sèitheach, Irr, Sokanaa, and Morthos filed out of the boat. They quickly discovered that there were lies and deceit across the strangely empty village, and the mayor's sins were soon discovered. Tribulatia, fairies of the Goddess Eris were responsible for the missing villagers and chaos that had been occurring. The six were faced with a choice, interfere with the work of the goddess, accept her bribe and leave, or choose to have nothing to do with the sordid affair. In the end, the heroes decided to go on their journey with nothing but the valuable knowledge Eris had imparted upon them. That they would find answers in the mountain pass city of Reux. As they headed into the deep Gryovian Inlands Forest they soon discovered the hazards of the land were not lessened in the wilderness. A group of bandits headed by Barda Cornwalla had taken treasure from the remains of an ancient dead dragon hidden in the forest, who asked the heroes to return it to him so he could pass on to the next life. The heroes agreed and soon made short work of the bandits, however, Barda and her brother had escaped, they returned the dragon's hoard to the decaying bones. Their reward? A golden chalice inlaid with red jewels about its lip, and a warning of great power that came with a sacrifice of blood. Morthos couldn't resist the temptation, and spilled his blood into the chalice. With this sacrifice, the dragon was resurrected. Rising from its sleepy floral grave and taking off to the air, not before consigning the spirits of the forest to destroy the group. Who made short work of the consigned tree Tāne, and continued on their journey...
