Introduction

Narrative for the characters to get them into the adventure.

AFTER:

Path of the Black Dragon – Kill the Alliance

The “princess” in the north must be apprehended and this northern alliance blocked.

Path of the Thane – Cement the Alliance

He would consider it an honor if the party would accompany him on a hard ride to the estate to save his princess and the peace in the north.

He says he was to meet a guide here that was to take him to the estate of Sir Steven Normir of Thurlow; his family has a private estate south of the city and their own docks – she is to arrive there and it sounds like the ambush was being arranged by the cultists in South Drift. The plot thickens. The party must not dally too long – but he is persuasive and a little bit forceful. The party needs to return to Southdrift for healing.

Gathering the Princess at Thurlow

Its really a horrible sea creature and drowning – it attacks when she is landing. She is permanently hurt.
Kalscorian Maiden Maialla of House Tobin, The Maiden of Juniper (one of 4 daughters of Margaen Tobin, “prince”/Thane of Kalascor – one of several).

Path 1:
He thought he had the support of the Empire of Gwinn – it makes no sense.

Path 2:
Its agents of the old powers says Temiri -The old blood, Gaernians. Temiri’s order has been worried for hundreds of years if they would make themselves known.
