First Adventure

In this decayed hole among the mountains
In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing
Over the tumbled graves, about the chapel
There is the empty chapel, only the wind's home.
It has no windows, and the door swings,
Dry bones can harm no one.
-- T. S. Eliot, "What the Thunder Said"

While visiting Oargev in the town of New Cyre, Lord Ruken ir'Clarn contacts the Scion Elites. His son, Alben ir' Clarn, sheriff of the hamlet of Mistmarsh, is looking for a hearty group to check on the inhabitants of the small village of Ossington, on the edge of the Faded Forest. While somewhat insular, no one from the village has visited the market in Mistmarsh for at least three months, and he grows concerned. He offers 500 gold to find out what's happened to the village.

Campaign Synopsis - The Scion Elite

The campaign starts in the year 998 YK, two years since the Treaty of Thronehold and four years since the destruction of Cyre/The Mournlands. The Scion Elites are the last of the Free Companies of Cyre. Since their formation as Queen Mishaan's honor guard over 150 years ago, the Scion Elites served faithfully as Cyre's principle elite armed force for until its destruction in the cataclysm of 996. While most of the company was decimated during the fall of Cyre the corps' remaining soldiers reformed the unit and brought many survivors, mutants, and mercenaries into its fold. With no kingdom to protect the corp has turned into a mercenary army, fighting for whoever can afford them and dreaming of the day they can restore the glory of Cyre!
