Plot Hooks

Locale

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Stephanie Windrunner thinks the fortress sank, Ricon Ironfist thinks it was built underground.

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Reynald Cruise wants to banish the child, while Canton Cruise thinks maybe something worse is in order.

Eruption

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

Lee Cunningham thinks magic may be the cause of the upcoming eruption, and not nature.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Levi Brown suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Desmond Ashfield says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

An Evil Lurks

A long abandoned fortress to the north has been seen lit up at night by floating blue lights. A foul air permeates the nearby land.

Sumesh Ashbringer warns that odd fey creatures live in the region. Lucy Hellscream wouldn't go near the fortress if you paid them.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Sarab Ferrier cannot see the creature you describe. Helsora Duval has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

Assassination

The prince has uncovered a plot to assassinate his father, and needs help getting to the bottom of it.

Sadie Pierce has learned that a lot of the King's own men are in on the plot, and that's why the prince is quietly looking for help.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Claudia Portman cannot identify where the wounds come from. Taylor Fallow suggests you speak to the local seer.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Alam Connington's sister is one of those still awake.
