Expedition

After traveling only 12 leagues South of the separation point, the Southern Expedition Team is found by the only surviving member of the Southeastern Team- who had turned east after separation. This man is Expedition Leader Somran Othro.   EL Othro appears to be severely traumatized from the experience that has (presumably) killed his team, Officials are unable to piece together a coherent story of what happened; what medical care available is provided to him, and a team is dispatched to the closest settlement to find a Mage or Cleric.

Six months after reports are dispatched from the Southern Expedition Team, and three months after their reception in Eris'ka, an elite exploration team led by Expedition Master (EM) Dinead e'Allire is assembled. They are dispatched to the southern reaches of Tolara in order to investigate elements of the reports mentioning the presence of a hostile creature encountered in the region.
