Session 02: Gambling Trip Report

Heyton's Thorpe, Outding Refuge Story picks up at the secret supply room and they are given a handdrawn map from Jeets of the Heyton's Thorpe.

They also learn how it would take around 10 days to travel to Neyer through the Carrune islands.

Jeets: Jeets also gives some insight about the island as well as a crudely drawn map and gives a quick overview of Outding Refuge and Heyton's Thorpe. It is a democratic thorp, small village, last run by Viggie Storr and possibly still the mayor. He is a decent chap, in his opinion. There is a gambling den on the East side of the village. The garrison here is present but loosely staffed. The Mayor controls this police force. There is a library here, not the most prominent (such as the Grand Athenaeum of Elhyrst, a large library of Elhyrst in the Empire of Caedal (on the westside of Æwrûn.) There is an interesting lady, Helga, with interesting wares to the North, Helga's Herbs & Oddities. Also, some of the rocks in the harbor seem to have strange runes carved in them that glow; it looks helpful for ships navigating the entry.

Learned about how Canthenth was supposedly sent here to destroy the arcane forge when the "Great Dragon" last awoke and freed many dragons from the Earth. Learned a bit about the Deities, he spoke of was how the gods of this realm are the "Forgotten Gods" and the "Dragon That Slumbers" is fine with them; however -- there are the "Outsider Gods," and it seemed they are responsible for awakening the Dragon. After the Dragon cracked the earth and began to come alive, there was a sacrifice of gods and heroes unlike anything before. They were able to pull the Dragon back down and put him back to sleep… But it seems that the time may soon be upon us for the actual awakening and the Outsider Gods are not likely powerful enough to handle it. Eternal Winter ends at Outding Refuge Winter is now receeding to just the mountains, so the party takes the villagers back to Heyton's Thorpe and go to Wavecrest Tavern for a long rest.
