Changegate

​The Eldeen Reaches are home to many ancient and powerful druid orders, including the Gatekeepers, a fading cabal of druids tasked with defending the world against terrible creatures. Although tales of the druids who fought the powerful hordes of aberrations in ancient times are fading from modern Khorvaire, a dwindling sect of shifter druids holds to an ancient promise. More than a century ago, a small group of shifter druids bound themselves and their descendants to a never-ending vigil over a portal known as the Changegate. For this dedication, the Gatekeeper druids promised the shifters protection and shelter in the face of the Church of the Silver Flame’s zealotry. Although the threat of the Church’s inquisition has passed, the shifters hold to their ancient oaths. Adventure Hook: Their numbers thinned by the chaos and strife of recent decades, the secretive shifter druids who guard the Changegate are all but gone. Even without the power or numbers they once had, the druids nonetheless know that something stirs behind the gate, probing their weakened numbers and preparing to force passage through the gateway. While the druids themselves are no match for the forces stirring behind the gate, they hope that were the gate opened for a day, they could reconstruct the sealing magics, strengthening the gate itself and giving themselves years of peace in which to recruit new members and rebuild their own power. Unfortunately, with the gate down for an entire day, the druids would be overrun by whatever horrors lurk behind the gate before they could complete the binding ceremony. Knowing that this desperate plan must succeed, the druids have sent one of their number out into the world looking for adventurers capable of defending the gate long enough for the druids to rebuild the gate’s fading magic. No one knows what will come out of the gate once it is lowered, but it is a risk they must take.​
