Plot Hooks

Locale

The Mad King

The King has declared that all of his subjects are evil and must be put to the sword. It seems as though his knights are perfectly willing to do this.

Marge Hawkwing has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by Parker Spring.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Oliver Brightleaf has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

Zoo Troubles!

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

Chloe Sweeny saw one of the creatures run into the woods.

A King's Favor

An archery contest is being held in the capital. The reward is a reasonable favour from the King.

Christopher Cruise is a renowned archer and the expected winner of the. Denzel Aquilegia can't wait for the festival markets to open.

Eruption

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

Jakob Silverleaf thinks magic may be the cause of the upcoming eruption, and not nature.

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.

Liliana Roderick believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Dina Briggs fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Professionals

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

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

The Translators

A foreigner is looking for translators on his journey to a mysterious land.

Eliot Quaresh almost decided to go with the foreigner.

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.

Sahin Altharia was the one who discovered the tribe.
