Plot Hooks

Locale

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Fribbington Reece has a fear of giants.

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.

Brogan Scott has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by Bernie Orsan.

The Closed Mine

A nearby mine has closed, laying off a hundred workers, who now have no idea how they're going to support themselves and their families.

Hassan Winter thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.

The Fog

A strange fog has rolled in to cover the landscape. Anyone who ventures into the fog, is never seen again.

There have been multiple people who claim to have seen someone, or something moving within the fog, including Maz Dresdain.

The Coming Dark

A tribe of dark elves have been banished from their home, and are looking for a new one.

Etienne Mervor doesn't trust the elves.

The Dead Killer

A necromancer is bringing forth an army of undead, but there's a mystical sword called Dead Killer which may help turn the tide, if it can be found.

Bundringo Clarke will outfit a parry interested in finding the sword.

The Troll

A troll has been terrorizing nearby villages.

Bernie Schmidt saw the troll speaking to a man who looked like a wizard.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Natalia Brown hasn't cried in years until now.

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.

Ricky Ferrier cannot see the creature you describe. Riley Deadeye has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.
