{4,-5} The Old Country

Hex Description

On the shore you can find small towns of fisherman, and there is a bigger city called Lavintia that has an established port. As soon as you leave the shores, you find a forest area. There are paths and small roads that interlink towns and cities. Outside the cities it is not quite safe, since barbarian tribes, wild life, and other undiscovered threats can appear. There is an amethyst dragon that has established his lair closer to one of the main traveling routes near Brindel, one of the inner cities. The effect of the dragon on the wildlife is causing the roads to be closed and the city is starving.

Quest Summary

• A Man of Faith: An old friend from Rhodan appears in Jaytown asking for help. He needs to find a way to deal with a dragon in exchange for something Rhodan wanted long time ago: being one of the Dawnbringers from the Lathander Church. The dragon itself is not attacking the city of Brindel, but a major route is compromised and the city is starving. After a meeting with Ariel, one of the High Morninglords of the Church of Lathander, they have the information necessary to proceed: details on the dragon and the area. Also, they are warned that not everyone in the church agrees on taking Rhodan back and making him a Dawnbringer: there is another quite ruthless High Morninglord (Dan) that is in frontal opposition to his return. On their way to the dragon liar, they are assaulted and ambushed. They can’t link that to Dan directly, but it seems his work.

• A Man of Faith (Part 2 and 3): The party arrives to the tavern after the ambush, and there a peculiar man approaches them. He’s more into politics than into fighting, and some more information is shared about Dan, the High Morniglord in opposition to Rhodan’s return. He warns them about the dangers of being attacked again on their way back, after the dragon is dealt with, and provides the means to come back safely. The party starts the journey and they face endless wild nature creatures, but they survive and are able to find the dragon’s liar. They do a small scouting, face a heavy setback, and get ready for the final battle.
