Plot Hooks

Locale

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Sisco Ironlatch is determined to find out what happened. Alyx Quaresh thinks creatures from space ate the stars.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Riley Hamlin believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Sahin Portman fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Kraken

A kraken has been attacking the town. The problem is, this is a farming town, hundreds of miles from the nearest coast.

Timo Potter thinks the kraken can teleport.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Finley Shadowmourne, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Donal Zaros is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

The Professionals

A group of paid adventurers have gone missing while investigating a town of supposed werewolves.

Paul Greene quit their job to join the group. Their uncle is now paying for word of their disappearance.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

Falk Turner was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Weston Briggs often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Clementine Zaki has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

Zoo Troubles!

A travelling zoo has lost a few of their animals. It's up to you to find them!

Taylor Huon saw one of the creatures run into the woods.

The Red Star

A local doomsayer has been claiming the end is nigh. On the night of his 'coming doom', a red star streaks across the sigh and crashes into an old ruin in the nearby hills.

Emyr Roderick it told by the gods when the world will end. Helsora Goldpetal believes falling stars are natural phenomena and do not suggest the end of the world.
