The timeframe of the campaign

Imperial calendar 768

The introduction

The story begins in the normally quiet miner town of Brill, one of the most important city’s within the Kingdom of Dalaria as more than eighty percent of the Kingdoms raw iron ore is being mined here within the mountain range where the town itself is being build at the foot of.
Disturbing reports from within the mine have become more frequent. Fights among workers have become more frequent and seem to happen for no reason at all. Strange noises come from the deeper reaches of the mine and some workers who go there don’t seem to come back.
These disturbing reports reach the ears of the Royal College of Mages and a general call for adventurers to investigate the mines thoroughly has been issued in their name.

The prophecy

Just barely escaping the mines with two new allies the adventuring party moves to the northern provinces as several leads have pointed them in that direction.

They take their rest within the monastery of Brill along the route to the north and learn about ancient prophecy that seems to already have some rather disturbing similarities in the events already experienced by the group of adventurers.

The expedition north

Following several leads the adventurers continue their investigation into a part of the land that hasn’t been ventured into since the green war. The adventures come to a shocking discovery that the incident within the mines of Brill was planned by a far more older enemy of the Kingdom.

The northern mountain range beyond Castle North.

A strange alliance is discovered beyond the mountain and seems to have brought together two unlikely parties. It would be more than disastrous if this alliance could get their plans into motion.

Driven back by a more powerful enemy than they could handle, the adventurers, with the help of some refugees, manage to teleport back safely from the northern provinces to the capital of Da’lar. Where a heartfelt reunion takes place between one of the adventurers and their family.

However all is not well within the capital of the nation as a devious plot begin to reveal itself and seems to be rooted within the higher circles of the Dalarian Nobility.
