Following a trip to Highspire, during which Dagger, Kim, Chef and Morgyn were attacked by strange lightning beasts, the airship Tempest course for the northern area of the Regency, near Brenston.
Shortly after leaving Highspire, a portal opened above the Tempest and deposited a hapless blue-skinned Qaroese sorceress aboard.
While the crew was raiding an ablooneum pipeline, the Tempest was attacked. First mate Argus had betrayed Captain Drayfus and sold him out to the Regency.
The remaining crew of the Tempest went to the nearest town, Brenston, and met two individuals who appeared to share their goals.
The crew joined battle against the Regency to protect the orc Mittaka tribe.
Chef, who had fallen in the forest battle, was laid to rest. Morgyn decided to stay with the Mittaka.
Upon their return to Brenston, the group met three delinquents and discovered that they shared the goal of saving Captain Drayfus.
After lengthy preparations, the group successfully infiltrated the prison where they believed Captain Drayfus was held. Things went downhill from there.
Killed by her lover Atlas after he was turned into a fiend, Aella was brought back to life by the Scion of Redemption, Keefa.
The group trekked to Pickendale, where Shegal had a contact: Doctor Valerian, who could help them reach Highspire in time to save Captain Drayfus. Shegal received an urgent message and left.
On the search for both a missing Gunter and a way into the Spire, Carthigan led the group to his employers, Maz Norgura or the Resistance.
Following a series of incidents involving strange lightning-spewing beasts appearing in Highspire, a group of adventurers freed the largest beast held captive within the Spire itself. In its rage, the creature attacked its prison and brought it crashing to the ground, effectively beheading the Regency government.
The group responsible for the Spirefall took up the name Telum Veritas: the Spear of Truth that had pierced the Regency's heart.
Having been tasked with capturing the ones responsible for the Spirefall, Vincent arranged a meeting with Telum Veritas.
Kantor Brade, leader of the Shining Crest and Kim's father, tragically lost his life in the Spirefall. Telum Veritas attended his funeral.
Accompanied by Vincent and in exchange for a pardon of their crimes, Telum Veritas left Highspire to find and apprehend Alastair Newmont, the one responsible for capturing the beast in the first place.
Shortly after leaving for the Wildlands on a mysterious mission, Viktor was saved from wolves by a company of adventurers - one that, as if by divine providence, shared the same destination.
Telum Veritas, accompanied by Shegal and her family, entered the forest near Brenston and left Regency territory.
Having left the Regency in pursuit of Newmont, Telum Veritas encountered the orc Mittaka again, and reunited with Morgyn, Nyx, and Duncan.
Telum Veritas finally reached the Wildlands: the dangerous, inhospitable jungle home to various demons including Carthigan's patron, the Snake Empress.
Telum Veritas was approached by a mysterious woman who called herself the Emissary and tasked them with a mission.
On the run from blood orcs, Telum Veritas encountered two friendly individuals in the jungle: Leaf the tabaxi druid and Kharish the blood orc renegade.
A series of misfortune involving Carthigan's bleeding foot, piranhas and an underwater tunnel with low visibility led to the tragic death of Shegal Fleetwind.
In the druid cave, wracked by guilt about his accident which led to Shegal's death, Carthigan fell into a coma and his spirit left his body.
Telum Veritas encountered a strange treelike creature waiting for them in a glade. The Verdent warned them of the demon Makuba, who stood in their way.
The party fought Makuba in his lair. The Verdent had to sacrifice himself to stop the demon's blood curse from spreading through the forest.
Carthigan's comatose body went missing. A message from his spirit guide indicated that when he finally chose his friends over his patron, she captured him.
Kharish decided to return to her people and try to turn them away from Zel Tarka's service.
The group came upon an injured woman alone in the jungle. Vivienne, an old acquaintance of Vincent's, told them that her twin sister Violet had been captured by Dal Zarma's servants.
Telum Veritas fought a Yuan-Ti scouting party around a chasm filled with raw ablooneum. Vincent fell into it, and lost his sight. His other senses were enhanced, however.
The party made a new deal with the Emissary: in exchange for a magical spindle of silk which could get them out of Dal Zarma's lair, Kim would speak with her mistress, Mama Nanzi.
On the way to Dal Zarma's lair, Leaf left the party to return the Verdent's little hummingbird spirit to Awandi, the Spirit of the Emerald Glade.
Pretending to negotiate a deal with Dal Zarma for their friends' release, they got her to bring them out and then used their magic spindle to escape. However, Dal Zarma killed Carthigan.
As the group was mourning their lost comrade, his ghost appeared. Anchored to his hat, his soul was not yet ready to move on and decided to continue aiding Telum Veritas in their adventures.
Telum Veritas finally caught up to Alistair Newmont, and the battle for the Nightstone was won without casualties. However, all was not as it seemed, the Nightstone proved plenty dangerous even without a wielder, and the ties binding our heroes together ever so slowly began to fray...
Her destination finally within reach through the planar portal in Sshilcass, Lia made the decision to pursue her own mission, temporarily departing from Telum Veritas.
With Oscar Underbrook's heroic sacrifice, the world was finally rid of the Nightstone.
After a brief time apart, most members of Telum Veritas returned to Highspire to ensure Newmont's conviction and help Damian Stanton win the upcoming election.
Zel Tarka's revenge finally reached Newmont when his executioner found him.
Using an immensely rare and valuable magical ring, Nyx wished her Uncle Carthigan back to a corporeal existence.
Alistair Newmont was posthumously tried and convicted of causing the destruction of the Spire. Telum Veritas were exonerated.
After his opponent Alexa Sinclair withdrew from the race, Damian became Regent. Carthigan Amadeus Banio joined him as his Minister of Ablooneum.
After six weeks of construction, Telum Veritas finally had a fully operational planar portal.
After a testing mishap of their planar portal brought him to the material plane, Penrose offered his services to the party.
Telum Veritas traveled to meet up with their friend through their planar portal. They also met this weird lady on a magic carpet idk
On their second day in Ellisan Velis, Telum Veritas traveled to the city of storm giants, Velis Ren'see.
When Lia and Vincent took a trip to the Font of Thunder, a little Blitzschlange was born and attached itself to Lia.
Telum Veritas left Velis Ren'see to pursue Sage Rofraam to the capital of Ellisan Velis, Velis Sha'han.
After following some saboteurs to their doorstep, Telum Veritas were caught and interrogated by the rebel cult Neaf Lilthas.
Caught in a Lightning Legion raid on the Neaf Lilthas base they were imprisoned in, Telum Veritas fought the commander of the Legion, the djinn Attacsus.
During the battle against Attacsus, the djinn banished Lia to a prison on the Plane of Earth. Penrose followed her.
Felled by Attacsus, Vincent bled out before the others could get to him.
As they were escaping the prison they'd found themselves in, Lia and Penrose were joined by an old lizardman, Obediah.
The trio made their way to the city of Banta Juergo, and met the planar travel broker Xemina.
With the diamond they had acquired from the djinn Vezejin, Morgyn, Kim and Isadora performed a ritual to bring Vincent back to life.
On the trail of Djaro and a magical artifact for Xemina, the trio arrived at the volatile and dangerous mountain range known as the Fractured Spine.
Vincent, Kim, Morgyn and isadora used the planar portal to join Lia, Penrose and Obediah in the Fractured Spine.
After proving themselves worthy and capturing Djaro, the party met the giant Urok, who gave them the legendary spear, Heartpiercer.
Telum Veritas raided Oris's prison, and freed all the slaves inside, including the Tempest Ralnor.
Telum Veritas visited the dao Bulderunklekash, who offered assistance in leaving Geocrancis in exchange for removing his rival.
Sent by Oris to capture Isadora, Arundare decided to throw in his lot with Telum Veritas instead.
Telum Veritas infiltrated Oris's mansion, fought and killed him in his throne room.
