Carnival of Monsters and Mad Men
The Carnival of Monsters and Mad Men was created by Ringmaster Rudari when him and his people were acting as wandering traders through the ShadowFell, trapped within a domain of dread. Originally acting as bandits, once the Ringmaster's Rabbit's Foot was adequately charged, they were able to use their luck to make a deal with the local dark lord to act as slavers.
The Carnival attracted locals with promises of merriment, attractions of local Monsters and talented performers. Then they would make any patrons that got lost or separated from their group dissappear. During a tarot card reading, Ringmaster Rudari became privy to one that the fates called the DuskBringer.
The reading foretold that if the DuskBringer were to reach their full power, it would bring untold misery to the land of Collatus. The Ringmaster saw this as an opportunity to siphon massive amounts of power with his Rabbit's Foot.
The Carnival worked together to defeat the dark lord imprisoning them and escaped through a shadow crossing that led them to Dunkelheit. Through many trials and tribulations the Carnival has found the DuskFeller in Metris. Lady Sariel, the Witch Queen.
