1. The Seeds of Destiny
General Summary
Written by Galth
In the town of Whimbrel at The Grand Everglow Tourney, a bunch of misfits and ne'er-do-wells answered the call to adventure and met with Ser Jeldin Lyonheart at the Rowan Inn.
There, they were propositioned with joining the newly formed Company of the Broken Banner, and tasked by Jeldin to find a powerful, ancient relic hidden in the tomb of one Lord Roland Wayland.
Making their way to the Great Crematorium in the eastern hills of Lake Everglow, the group briefly questioned a priest at the statue of Death, then found themselves scaring off a pack of ill-equipped tomb robbers who had just blasted their way into the very same tomb they sought, led by Oruwin Fiddlecheek and Elara Windwalker.
Investigating the tomb, they learnt of the old Kingdom of Eá-galwen, the slain King Roland, and found an ominous ladder in Roland's sarcophagus leading down.
Exploring the passageway below, the party came upon a procession room leading to a great throne. As they opened the doors the skeleton king and his minions rose up with eyes of bright blue, and attacked the group.
Heroics from Pluto Trellman, Ellri Brooir and Elara Windwalker to finish them off made sure the day was won, and the party secured the circlet that the king had been wearing.
They were then faced by a wall of inky, moving blackness, with a faded blue glow from within. Steeling themselves, Ellri seized the gem, and the dark vortex began to expand and block off the exit.
With some quick thinking from Orvasa Inkeelah, the group secured the gem into the circlet, allowing them to navigate through the torrential darkness and jump into a swiftly moving underground river, emerging back at Lake Everglow.
The party were helped ashore by some sober The Knights of the Eclipse amidst the revelry, then they quickly made their way back to the inn. Shockingly, they learn that Jeldin had been slain in battle by The Dragon Knight in a "freak accident", and the party found his close friend and confidant Auryeon to deliberate what the remaining members of the Company of the Broken Banner would do next to honour his legacy. They decided to head North, as Jeldin wished, to investigate reports of disappearances in the Unbound Lands.
