11. The Slayer
In the eleventh Chapter of Rodinia IV the party set out to track down and bring Sir Mangarak, aka
the Slayer, to final justice.
Myrddin told the party he believed that Mangarak was now based in the Black Swamp on the edge
of Albion. The party set out to otrack him down. They teleported into Albion into an ancient elven
temple there and defeated some hill giants who were terrorizing the area. In thanks for their help
some local rangers guided them to the Knights of the Sun in nearby Eastward.
The Knights of the Sun sent the party on to Sir Harken, their leader, who agreed to sponsor them
to head into the Black Swamp to find and kill Sir Mangarak. Along the way there they met Sir Kai
of Thistledelve and Countess Fortuna of the Fellowship of Pelor who both warned them against
taking Sir Mangarak lightly.
Soon enough the party were in the Black Swamp. They found that Mangarack controlled the
alliegiance of yuan-ti as well as undead in his role as a servant of both Zehir and Orcus.
Eventually they reached the hide out and penetrated it. They faced the Slayer and killed him, and
in doing so recovered the fabled Sword of Karith, symbol of the Grandmasters of The Sun - heads
of the Knights of the Sun.
Returning to Littlebrook they reported their success and Sir Harken offered Morgan leadership of
the Knights of the Sun due to his recovery of the Sword of Karith. Morgan accepted but took the
role on as a purely ceremonial one. Harken would remain and lead the Knights on the day to day
business.
Their next target was Embril and a letter found in Mangarack's possession lead them to believe
she was back at their home in Shelech, Hishan.
