Plot Hooks

Locale

Zombie Trouble

A horde of undead are making their way for town. Nothing has been able to stand in their way.

Haryk Dresdain thinks the gods are punishing everyone for their sins.

From the Clouds

A large gray cloud rolls across the land, and terrifying flying creatures descend from within, and snatch up people and carry them back up to the cloud, never to be seen again.

Alia Rook's brother was taken off.

Civil War

A massive city has taken arms up against one another, the sides naturally bisected by a river which runs through town.

Joel Wilton was forced to kill their brother last night.

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Dawn Rucker is determined to find out what happened. Sahin Cinders thinks creatures from space ate the stars.

Dragon King

An ancient dragon has eaten the rightful King and all of his heirs. He now lives in the throne room and is demanding to be called King.

Selena Amal doesn't really care who the king is.

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.

Bernie Huon believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Sumesh Anguish fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Wendigo

People are going missing, and a wendigo just might be to blame.

Doran Enola is leaving town.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Sawyer Broadbent knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

The Ship

A wrecked warship has washed up on the beach. Problem is, it's a ship that hasn't even been launched yet from the nearby port.

Sahin Marshall is supposed to work on the ship during its maiden voyage.
