The Calamity

The War

Before the times we are in now is a war that will go down as a victory to some and to others a loss so bad there family will suffer for generations to come. The evil Noros invaded the Sword Coast using a portal from another plane of existence. Noros brought along a few other creatures from the other plane as well. They all came to practice an unknown magic that would turn creatures into life eating monsters. A few friendly travelers took the initial investigation of these creatures. They were Rothilion Kelro, Feng, Kaycen Tinder, and none other than Lord Romulus. These few took the lowest of the chain out without any knowledge of what was going on. Upon heading back to Phandalin, a town that is now in ruins, Lord Romulus thought that it would be best for him to head home, as well as Feng. Before Feng departs he runs into an old friend Draxel that joins the travelers heading to Phandalin.

The Magic

When the travelers return, they are greeted to warm welcomes and a good old fashion party. Everyone drinks up and drinks until nearly blacking out. At this time, Noros saw this as an opportunity. He practiced a magic that was taking the souls of the very people drinking their hearts out leaving them expressionless and controlled by Noros himself. In order to hone his skills he caged the town and lined them up one by one taking their souls. If they were strong enough they would live through the soul sucking and be controlled and zombified by Noros. If they were not strong willed enough, their body would drop lifeless as they suffer a slow and painful death as the magic pulls on the soul of the target. From here it's our heroes who rid Noros of the land.

The Travelers

Trapped in the cages were some of the travelers who helped fend off Noros. Rothilion Kelro, Kaycen Tinder, Draxel, and Sir Titus. They narrowly escape and meet up with the Dorian Astor who fitted the travelers handsomely with supplies and tasks. On these tasks they were met by a young fellow who will help the travelers with any sort of sneaky situation, Ja'mhirr of the Mountain Isle Clan. Ja'mhirr will prove to be a real help to the travelers in both increasing their numbers and raw strength. After a quarrel with Noros and is gang of magic using troublemakers, the travelers head off to the smaller continent of Ryole. There they will lose a valuable member of the party, Rothilion Kelro, but gain a new traveler. The old man Guy Sprinkles. He too will prove to be very helpful in leading the travelers through knowledge and complex magic. His wide knowledge of everything proves to be a great foundation on everything they encounter.

The Magic 2

Through the adventures of the travelers they are met with many challenges but the one that comes back to haunt them is the creatures that are taken over by a black mass. The travelers find this to be the magic that overtakes the user after the host of the magic becomes weak and frail. A creature that is healthier and sturdier will take longer for the magic to completely consume than a weaker and ill target. This magic is seen on animals, lycanthropes, humans, dwarves, plants, and anything with life. Once the creature has been taken over by the magic they decay quickly and the black goo uses the bones to take form into various other creatures to kill faster. 

The Calamity

Upon meeting Noros on top of the Castle of Thessia, he is found trying to open a plane to bring forth a LeShay. A creature that embodies the souls of all of the elves who once lived in Thessia. It is clear what Noros wanted to do with the LeShay. Supporting Noros was the last cloaked partner, Venyra. A Firbolg that will ultimately find her fate at the top of the castle. The fight was a tough one but with the experience of the travelers, they did it. Noros escaped but given his disappearance he is believed to have given up on our plane of existence.
