Plot Hooks

Locale

The Lost Tribe

Hundreds of years ago an Elvish tribe vanished from the forest in which they lived. Now, they're back, and no time at all has seemed to pass for them.

Alexis Alhara was the one who discovered the tribe.

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Laurie Belet swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

The Kraken

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

Durante Miller thinks the kraken can teleport.

The Last Wish

A stone has been found which houses a genie willing to grant wishes. He says he has one last wish he may grant, but wants to give it to someone who really deserves it.

Zoe Hamid wants the wish and will stop at nothing to get it.

Eruption

A dormant volcano is suddenly not as dormant as those who live nearby would like.

Arianna Quaresh thinks magic may be the cause of the upcoming eruption, and not nature.

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

John Rook is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Celina Amal led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Mace Mournhell feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Nalgar Roderick wants to help the dwarves.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Jasmine Hillard, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!

The only person immune is Selene Brown.
