The Ball

The King and Queen are throwing a ball. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Rey Amal and their partner Cassius Laroque were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.

The Errant Wizard

A famous wizard was meant to meet you, but never arrived. Rumours has it that the wizard went to the southern coast in search of an artifact, and never returned.

Brittany Shalamayne thinks you should go look for him. The wizard is well-known for absentmindedness, and pursuing his research despite dangers or other concerns

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Cynthia Marid, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Ismael Abbey recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

The Duel

Two men are going to duel to the death for the hand of a woman. Neither know the woman has secretly married the person she really loves.

They Come at Night

A roving band of creatures no one has ever seen before attacks towns and villages at night, killing all those within.

Nadeera Scott thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

The Doll

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Vivian Bluepetal bought the doll as a gift.

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.
