Session 21

PCs (lvl 7): Gardain, Haku, Tak, Terric

Several weeks have gone by since the return of the Tyrian army. King Tithian has made sure the masses have forgotten the heroes of the war, and rules from his Golden Tower.

Terric's dreams are plagued by visions of a far away, ancient city hiding great riches. He begins to suspect his dreams may be caused by whatever entity inhabits the obsidian orb he took from Thana's dead body.

Sadira calls for the PCs, asking them to perform one more task for Tyr. Her contacts in Nibenay have informed her that Thana, former hero of Tyr, might have been a spy from Nibenay, maybe even a templar in incognito! She asks the PCs to travel to that city to find out more. Eager for some action, the PCs accept, and travel to Nibenay with Haku, an outcast elf formerly of the Sky Singer tribe, and their guide for this mission.

Once they reach Nibenay, they lose no time getting into trouble, killing a templar and her bodyguards over the possession of a metal amulet shaped like a dragon head. They hide in the elven market, where they hear stories of the ruin where the amulet was found, and of an entity going by the name of Caller in Darkness, bringing madness to those who approach the ruins.

Intrigued, the PCs search for a way to find these ruins, and are directed to the town of Cromlin, a trading post where they can find a silt-skimmer, the only vessel capable of travelling through the silt. On their way to Cromlin they save a pair of elves from the fangs and talons of savage kirres, six-legged great cats with psionic abilities.
