Natures Bounty IV: 5th - 8th August 2010

FOR PLAYERS OF PREVIOUS NATURE'S BOUNTY EVENTS:
The land of NOD-GORIN calls to you again in your dreams - is it the work of the ancient master or the interference of the watcher? It matters little, the dreams come; they are calling you and show the ancestral lands of the Water Tribe - though you have never seen them, somehow you know it to be true.

The vision shows you huge cliffs rising out of the sea, the devastation wrought here is greater than in any other part of the land, a result of the raising of the lands. On the surf-loud beaches lie the long spent hulks. The mats and splintered masts lie near fires kindled on the wet sand, and men move between the fires. They stand or crouch with their backs to the sea. Slowly they turn away and leave their homes of millennia. This image swirls away to become a scene of carnage, bodies hewn into piece, scattered warriors daubed in blood. The attackers are dim shapes, lost in the shadows - a feeling of treachery hangs in the air and all is dark once more. You awaken with words echoing in your ears: they say:

“You know some of what you do, look to your souls for they will soon be in his grasp”

Once more you are called to the ancient gate and you have little choice but to head back to the land of nature’s bounty. The calling is upon you and its urgency is increasing. With a deeply unsettling feeling that something is very wrong, you proceed.

FOR NEW PLAYERS:
Invited by colleagues or friends into the land of NOD-GORIN, you have come to an ancient gate that they use to get to the raised lands. What awaits you on the other side? Those with you have been tight lipped, revealing little. Soon the mysteries will be revealed, your questions answered...
Note: You must have an IC reason to attend the event.

Lucien and the 14 Thieves: 16th - 18th July 2010

They can't say that life hasn't been interesting.

After years of swashbuckling, carousing, negotiation and blatant violence, it has finally sunk home how very expensive it has all been. Whilst journeying to the mysterious Temple of Stone, the party's talk turned to thoughts of gold and treasure which they believed they were to liberate. Unfortunately, these thoughts were short lived. After further escapades, funds are sorely depleted and now things have moved onto desperation. It has been agreed, in theory, that drastic action should be taken. They have been left with little choice but to carry out a well planned and daring raid to plug a much need hole in their resources. As to be expected, Lucien is very keen and has volunteered his 'special' talents immediately.

So it is that one morning you receive a very cheery letter (dictated by Lucien) from his associates (all checked out as legitimate):

"Esteemed and dangerous chums,

It is obviously with great reluctance (Luthien forgive this wretched sinner!) that I have temporarily got back in touch with a few associates from my former larcenous days to try and arrange a suitably enriching mission for you all. Happily, one of my more reliable sources may have a thread that needs pulling, if you catch my drift. I have asked him to meet us at the Green Dragon tavern on the great North road between Lenorithien and Orwick in 2 days time. The Dragon is a first-class (and traditionally violence-free) drinking establishment which many of you I am sure have frequented on numerous occasions during our various jaunts.

In anticipation of the task ahead, I have asked a few handpicked officials to attend to arrange transport for us and ensure we have safe passage on our little expedition. There may also be certain persons who may require a little encouragement to ensure full disclosure of all pertinent information, but knowing how persuasive some of you can be I am sure that won't be a problem! Furthermore (is there no end to my talents?), I've managed to negotiate a very reasonable discount on beverages and fare for the evening - it's amazing what some gossip about the innkeeper's daughter will do! Unfortunately for Arion the gossip isn't about her having a penchant for roughing it, but you can't have everything can you?

Personal abuse (ooh-err) aside, might I also make polite request that people try and refrain from slaughtering all and sundry in the inn? I know old habits die hard for some of you, but good taverns are hard to find these days and you just can't have a proper carouse if you end up with a load of Omagans turning up and bleating on and on about how super justice is and how naughty criminals are.

I look forward to meeting most all of you over a tankard of the Dragon's best – Myron, it's your round!

Yours disreputably,

Lucien,

Bishop of Danar, Scout of Tethic (1st Class with Honours), and second greatest thief in the land (reformed)"

Aurean Tales – Part 1: The Whispering Night: 18th - 20th June 2010

‘So many died in that fateful siege that when the bodies were burned the skies turned black with the smoke and it rained ash for seven days andseven nights. With the whereabouts of the ‘whispering night’ and the Eldest brother unknown and the destruction of the Vile Necromancer, the Kingdom of Rastras was absorbed into the neighbouring kingdom of Auer’

Extract from Lord Farnsworths book “A History of Rastras”

Darkmere 2010: The Last Artefact: 4th - 6th June 2010

As sightings of the Walkers increase and fears that the time of their prophesy draws close Morvania announce the discovery of information pertaining to the last artefact believed vital to their defeat. Crown Prince Von Nacht has personally sponsored an expedition into the Ridgeback mountains to investigate the validity of the intelligence and has invited interested groups as well as mercenaries to meet at a little used hunters camp on the Aurean/Danar border to discuss involvement in the enterprise.

This event is suitable for Morvanian Legionaires and will count as a tour of duty.

The Corruption of Lord Ba’Shinn: 7th - 9th May 2010

On the very edge of the Quinen nation lies the valley of Verinia. Here, life is good. In fact, some claim it to be perfect. The weather is nice, the birds are always singing and the people go merrily about their business, farming and trading. It's an image of scenic perfection. Central to the valley community is Lord Ba'Shinn, a venerated figure who rules over the area with fairness and justice. Recently though, things have been changing and a darkness seems to have fallen over the lord and his lands. Lord Ba'Shinn's people have called for help in fixing the corruption and restoring their beloved lord to the light. But is there more to this than meets the eye? In a few shadowy corners, some wonder if the 'perfect' nature of the valley was ever completely natural... Regardless, there is a mystery here to be solved and for the curious adventurer, it might even pay well!

TOURNAMENT: The Sword in the Stone: 23rd - 25th April 2010

A heavy Dwarven presence this year is guaranteed in the village of Rock. It is decreed by the church of Calderon that the annual tournament this year will be overseen by the Ridgeback Mountains dwarven skill guild. Famed for their precision construction of intricate artefacts as much as the time you have to wait for your precious order, the Dwarves have presented to the village of Rock a stone obelisk to be engraved with the name of the successful competition winner.

Although a celebrated event and a distraction from the encroaching dark world events, this years tournament has already attracted unusual attention. With the recent reforming of the Order of the Sword they are keen to secure the use of the Danarian severing sword for another year. Mercenaries of every kind travel to the tournament having heard rumours of the sword. Also a small fortune is being offered by an anonymous party to a successful champion to release and use of the sword during the coming year.

The dwarves themselves have let slip that the sword will be invaluable to them in the cutting and shaping of the finest and largest jewels recovered from deep under the ridgeback mountains. Their champions have been in long preparation for the competition.

Although the village of Rock is well protected the forests around teem with undesirables, children of walkers and other strange creatures ready to dispatch the unwary and perhaps take the swrod for themselves. Or will some unknown champion be destined to use this sword for the year in which apocalyptic battles are to come.

Curse of the Necromancer, Kiss of the Vampyre: 9th - 11th April 2010

Greymark, Richard "Bloody" Greymark.............. Morvanian necromancer, grave-robber, thief, blackmailer, kidnapper, torturer, mutilator, murderer... and that’s just concerning his own extended family, never mind the general population.

The list of nobility, guilds, temples, merchants and assorted wealthy families that have fallen foul of his schemes grows long. In peaceful times the Military Orders of Thorn, Sword & Lance or the Knights of Celuviel would have hunted him down long ago, but with chaos and death stalking the 4 corners of the land he has the freedom to pursue his nefarious schemes. The latest victim was Henry Makalia Head of the Alchemist Guild in Lenothorian, family ransomed for a fortune and then when it was paid, they were returned to him as Ghasts and Vampyres. Makalia has sent secure word to select aggrieved individuals via high ranking Scouts of Tethic, you have been invited to a meeting at a secluded private location near Lenothorian to clarify the way forward in permanently resolving this continued threat.

The sweetener offered is a potion apiece - any from the standard list offered for sale at Guild outlets.

If the character that you wish to play has not had contact with Greymark on previous events then you will be representing a Patron / Guild Leader / Relative etc.

Works Weekend: 26th - 28th March 2010

Scar Island III - Dangerous Ground Night: 19th -21st March 2010

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate. All war is based on deception. (Quotes by Sun Tzu)

In a recent unsuspected act Lord De Clarance has announced that he intends to undertake a military campaign against those individuals and their allies who had previously kidnapped his daughters, He has asked for any who would be willing to aid him in this endeavour to attend a meeting at the Old Willow Inn on the Aueran / Movainain Border.

Rumour abounds at the preparation of Lord De Clarances Eldest Daughters up coming Birthday where she will come of age and be eligible to take on the Mantle of the De Clarance Household should anything happen to her father in his upcoming war.

Underearth: 19th - 21st February 2010

Lord Royd and Angarmar invite those strictly of ancient blood to join them on a secret mission, venturing under the earth. Nothing further can be said of this task at this time, but the risks and rewards could be substantial.

All other recoveries are to be equally divided, after the costs of armour repairs have been met.

Natures Bounty III – Fire in the Heart: 15th -17th January 2010

FOR PLAYERS ON NATURES BOUNTY 2:
You dream a waking dream of the lands of NOD-GORIN. You saw the long pouring headland and smoking coast with the sea high on the rocks. Gulls cried and wheeled flung away from the sea. Dark wooded hills swarming with mists as far as your vision allowed you to see. Mist hung over the sea and you’re dreaming turned into the lands heart. The wooded hills give way to the magnificent spire cap of a volcano. The long dormant mountain now sparked back into life by the geographic changes wrought into the rising lands. Called once more by the ancient dreamer, he spoke to you in the dreamscape of his ancient territory. The time has come to gain the Heart stone, the fire gates key. Your dream showed you the gate that you know of in the wilds, you know you must travel to it again to continue this quest. The dreamer speaking in a voice quiet like a whisper, talked of urgency in this task and a sense of something disturbing on the periphery of his sight. What malign thing could be walking the Fire tribe’s grounds? What type of being could gain the attention of the ancient?

The dreamer’s presence fades away, the dream retreating into the subconscious. A surge took your mind back swiftly to dreaming, another presence swift and swirling into the dreamscape. A sharp scent like that of a burning pyre, and a face, swathed in a hood, came into your mindscape. It spoke to you asking but a single question “do you know what you serve?” With that it vanished back to smoke.

You awakened, feverish with a fire in your heart and the question within your mind. Do you know what you serve? The journey is a long one to the gate, with trepidation you set out for the gate to NOD-GORIN.

FOR NEW PLAYERS:
Your allies have brought you along to a task set by an ancient to rescue his long lost sister. They have trusted you to the task, over which they seem to be very secretive and not talking about much. All they keep saying is things like you will see when you get there. Well now all this mystery will come to an end and you can find out for yourself just why they have been so close mouthed. The gate before you is ancient, what secrets are beyond it, you will soon find out.

The Eternal: 20th - 22nd November 2009

For 3000 years the Wyrdren Oracle of Taros has prophesised the future. Communing safely away from the affairs of the world from deep within the Tarowen mountains at the Hidden Shrine of Taros. Where, it is whispered, that none ever growth old and none ever die.

But now it seems with the four walkers in the lands, that deaths chill touch can stretch even to the shrine of the great Oracle. Some received visions, other perceive the omens and some read the unwritten signs which lead them to the foot of the Tarowen mountains and then beyond...

Legion 4 - War & Peace: 6th - 8th November 2009

“The Walkers are an abomination before the Realm Lords and they will raise the world to the ground and blow the dust to the stars. They do not eat. Do not sleep. Do not stop. And armies cannot stop them. I pray they do not come to Morvania. Ever. They say that anywhere is within walking distance if you have the time - the Walkers have all the time they need and the world will fall if they are not contained.”

Extract from report from Mai'ean – Private of the Morvanian Foreign Legion

Natures Bounty: 17 - 19 July 2009

Twelve years ago the warrior Aran, Lord of all the Anvil lands was killed. Soon after his rightful heir Annar was slain, poisoned by the followers of Quartak. At that time Karnag the high shaman of the tribal Anvil lands made the situation plain, stand and fight or run for a long time. For if the sacred Madrogen stone was to fall into the Necromancers hands all the tribes would be lost. Unfortunately for the warbands and tribes of the Anvil lands the stone was lost and they were decimated by the grey walkers of Quartak.

Since the death of the Rightful Heir, remnants of the tribes retreated to their heartlands in Nog-gorin. With the exception of Mystics of Gideon (who make pilgrimage to the sacred libraries of Velian), few have dared entered these lands. However, news now spreads out from Aorc about the lands. Despite the famines in other lands, it is said that this land of the west is rich and fertile and its second harvest has just been gathered in.

A notice has been posted in many taverns in Aorc and surrounding areas-

To those brave or intrepid,
Various positions are now available within a trade caravan intended to head into the land of Nod-Gorin. Good rates of pay. All applicants to come to the Gideon’s Rest Inn, next to the southern gate of Aorc
Signed Larston Thorpe

Each night legions of deamons sweep though the re-opened gate deep in the Riagorm mountains. However, not finding his enemies the search spreads. Portaling over distance once can again brings many risks.While a daemons time in these lands is limited, they have still they managed to lay waste to places far and wide. With the exception of Danar, tales of squads of daemons materialsiing without warning are common place throughout the land. The once regular haunts of each who journed to the Temple of Stone have been visited. Malaks hell hounds are relentless bent on the final destruction of his foes. There are limited places left to hid.

Darkmere: Lord of Vorrin: 19 - 21 June 2009

A shadow has come to the Vorrin Forest. A dark intelligent malevolence that saps at both will and strength.

He invites those of brave heart to gather at his hunting lodge on the edge of the great forest of Vorrin. There he proposes to provide a magnificent feast and then in the good light of day form a great hunt to rid the forests of this plague upon this people. All spoils of the hunt are to be kept by those that participate.

Ungash: Guerillas in the Mist: 15 - 17 May 2009

Danar is at war! Nearly eight months have passed since the seemingly unstoppable military juggernaut of the Ungash Empire first rolled across the Western borders to eliminate the ‘insurgent forces’ that had been threatening its security, and now the map of Danar looks very different indeed.

Imperial soldiers, emboldened by the piecemeal resistance presented by the disunited Danari forces, now occupy the West and push inexorably toward the Danari heartland. The Regent, Princess Emereace, has called an urgent council meeting, summoning the squabbling factions that comprise Danar to force an accord between them before the war is lost. The Regent, however, is not without offers of aid from outside her borders: Other powers have interests in Danar and an enemy in the Ungash. Is the enemy of my enemy my friend? The Regent is about to discover the answer to that question for herself…

Meanwhile, in the occupied territory soldiers of the Regent lead by Lord Gavain wage a secret and bloody war of ambushes and assassinations against the invaders, striking from hiding and vanishing from sight, but as the Ungash begin to import the benefits of their advanced civilisation it seems not every Danari is opposed to their new masters remaining in power...

Tournament: 1 - 3 May bank holiday 2009

For centuries champions and chances have been coming to The Tournament held annually at the Village on the Rock just to the north of the Heartlands of Danar. This year four competitions are to be held. The champions of sword, bow, mixed mêlée and light of hand to be rewarded with prize and to win right to try to withdraw and wield the legendary Danarian severing sword for the year.

However, these times are far from peaceful for the lands of Danar. The Avatars of war, death and pestilence have been seen to walk the lands .The threat of the Ungash ever grows in the west, while the wild cannibals “the crulag” grow in both number and daring in the east. Added to this far from welcome news that mystics of Drune have finally decided the location that the new great Quartakan temple is to be built but 60 miles to the north near the boarders between North Danar and Wrosham. A temple to be constructed entirely of the bones of these dead from the Quartak war. Even now wagon trains start to travel up and down the great north south road transporting materials.

Yet in the Village in the Rock such happening fall on deaf ears. It is rumoured that that the fearsome Kragmog has awoken from his long sleep and devours any not secure within their homes when the sun sets. Such is the fear of this beast a reward of 50 crowns has been offered by the Regency for any that can rid the land of the Kragmog.

So, perhaps few will be brave enough or survive the dangerous roads to the Tournament.

Deadtimes Phase 2, Reprieve: 24 - 26 April 2009

Return to Scar Island: 13 - 15 March 2009

After news of the recent exploration of Scar Island and the rescue of the delegation to the Island, a joint venture between the Temples of Luthien and Celuviel has been proposed. This crusade aims to cleanse the temple and re-establish it's formal glory upon Scar Island. Numbers are sought amongst it's rank and file to fight the good fight and show the powers of evil the might of Purity and Life

Overjoyed by the news of his daughters safe return, Lord De Clarance of Morvania has agreed to fund this expedition with a ship from his small but very effective fleet of corsairs. However, he has also requested that whilst engaged in this worthwhile and noble cause, that the volunteers look into the 'Constructs' that were discovered upon the island. He will pay good money for information and artefacts regarding their existence.

Rumours have also reached the magically inclined of the community that a Demon Shrine was disturbed recently in the direction of Scar Island. Many of the Mage guilds are interested in this disruption being investigated after the threat of previous Riagorm incursions.

Low-High level adventure, set within the Legion of Dreams universe.

The Legion Chapter 3: 27 February - 1 March 2009

"I do not take this crown lightly but I will not see Morvania bullied by those who would threaten us. We are a small nation and Aurea is a vast empire, but if they bring war to our borders I know that we will not flee from it. Remember Fort Ludwig! It was just a handful of soldiers of our Foreign Legion that stood against the might and aggression of our neighbour and yet they held firm. Those Nomads must surely have feared for their lives but still they stood their ground and said we will not succumb, we will not surrender. They may have been born beyond our borders; they may not yet have earned their citizenship, but they are already Morvanian in their hearts. We will not yield to those who would do us harm and I say to you now that if called upon we will crush our enemies, whether they lie beyond our borders or hide as a canker within the Motherland. We will wash them away in a tide of their own blood. We will have no compassion and no mercy. Morvania shall stand eternal and woe to those who in their ignorance think otherwise."

Extract from the accession speech of Crown Prince von Nacht

Following the heroic stand of the Nomads at Fort Ludwig they have been relieved at Dunkelmoore by the National Army and have returned to Morvania. With the ongoing threat of war Lord von Nacht has declared himself Crown Prince and challenged any who would gainsay his claim to wrest the title from him if they are able. It seems unlikely as the majority of Morvanian citizens seem glad of having such a strong leader in such difficult times and there is a strong, nationalistic mood throughout the country. Diplomatic missions still shuttle between Morvania and Aurea but few believe that there is any hope for peace and militias are mustering in every town and village square. The Nomads themselves now wait at the Hillsbad Barracks in the south west of Morvania, close to the Aurean border, waiting for the news from the Türdorf Conference, perhaps the last chance to avoid war….

Scar Island: 6 - 8 February 2009

With the recent death of Captain Blackblood at Blackhaven rumour has started to circulate about the whereabouts of the vast amount of treasure he buried. Clues and rumours fly thick and fast around the gutterwelks and low life seadogs in the port of Blackhaven. Captian James Claydon is hiring a crew to recover two objects of interest from the treasure of Captain Blackblood. He has let it be known he will provide the location, a means of transportation to the island, as well as paying the sum of 3 crowns per person, plus a full share of monies and items recovered. However, time is short because if Captin Claydon has managed to de-code the clues then so will of others, its now a race against time to be the first to claim the treasure of Scar Island.

Sniverlizations 2: 16 - 18 January 2009

In the center of Danar lies the peaceful village of Appensul. That is until a mysterious order of knights known as "The Brotherhood" arrived. The surrounding area has been decimated, temples pulled down and graves unearthed. With a few fleeing refugees telling of huge digging works. Unable to tell any more, simply collapsing and gibbering about a dark shadow consuming all around them before perishing in a shower of blood.

Volunteers to face this threat have been short in coming, but those amongst them have been lured by the face of an ancient enemy, others by a prophesy of an ancient treasure as old as the realm lords themselves, and a scarce few amongst them feel a more holy drawing to this place...

And in their wake as always follows death. In the Macabre Principality of Morvania the contested succession has reached the attention of undead lords thought long since to have retired from the world. "Riagorm" Daemons have been seen moving in numbers along the borders of Menas and Anvil lands. Fuelled by the return of the "High" Fay to the mortal world rumours emerge that the ancient Danari race are stirring from their eon's long slumber. Yet even in times of such adversity there can still be found avenues of opportunity...

Snivelization: 15 - 17 Aug 2008

The Goblin settlement on the North West of Danar has now been established for several months, And it has not been the Regents finest decision in the eyes of all. Many would accuse the goblins on the reserve as thieves, scoundrels and a burden on the good people in the surrounding area. But now it seems all is not as it seems: A request has been made from the inhabitants for protection, they claim shadows stalk the night stealing away their numbers and an unholy presence sees to remove them from the face of Danar altogether.

From the Depths - 1-3 Feb 2008

A few miles off the Northwest coast of Tethic, between the Banath Isles and the mainland, Knobble Island has long been something of a curiosity. A couple of centuries ago it was gifted to Sir Montgomery Widget by the Duke of Port Elia for Sir Widget’s sterling work in cleansing the isle of the infamous Captain Nightblade and his band of pirates. One of the conditions of the Duke’s gift was that the island be maintained as a stronghold against future piracy in the area and ever since then the Widget family have stoutly upheld their end of the bargain. Recently, however, passing merchant vessels have seen smoke coming from the island and Fomorian ships have been spotted in the area. Although there have been no reports of piracy, the local commander of the Order of the Lance is naturally keen to find out what is going on. The Order of the Lance will provide a ship and crew to transport a band of adventurers to the island, but from there they are on their own.
