2207BNE

Avandra's favourite supporter attracts the attention of other jealous gods - their love threatens the balance of power and Nerull aligns with Kord to terrorize and demoralize her.

Avandra sets them on a quest to increase her power and promises that once she is able, she will protect The Follower from the growing ire of the others.

2204 BNE

Having completed her quest, The Follower grew distrustful of Avandra's lust for influence. Avandra granted her the promised boon - the ability to hide from gods and mortals alike - and The Follower chose to disappear from Avandra's view along with everyone else's.

The Follower used her new power to blend in seamlessly and hid herself from Death and Avandra alike - becoming The First Doppelganger. The First Doppelganger still walks among the mortals of Prasinos, but who she is and what she wants are mysteries.

1721 BNE

Allento is founded.

1500BNE - The Bold Get Rich

104NE - Call of the Dungeon-God

Prompt

You are on the road near the greatest and oldest city in the world, the capital of Outland, Ottombad. It is a global trade center and you might be anyone from anywhere, with any backstory.

In the preceding months, there has been a rash of disappearances. Dozens of upper-class people have been packing up their valuables and heading out into the wild in the dead of the night. Nobody knows how many loners or nobodies may have disappeared.

Recently, people who have been missing for months have been found stumbling around the outskirts of the city, naked and emaciated, muttering the word “Atarikon”.

You have each heard the call. Something in the woods beckons you; “Bring your greatest treasures and lay them before Atarikon.”

Whether compelled or merely interested in the phenomenon, you have set out from the city in search of the caller.

105NE - Into The Sea

Prompt

You have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity! Pirate Emperor Gjavree's flagship is moored outside of a dwarven ruin, which she calls “Dwarvesvillevania”. She believes that the anvil at the center of this ruin is a powerful ancient artifact, and whosoever retrieves it for her shall be promoted to be her first mates!

Gjavree is the Emperor and can have as many first mates as she wants!

You are either prisoners aboard the flagship or swabs looking for a better position. Two groups have gone in before you, and no-one has yet returned. One way or another Gjavree doesn't seem to be leaving without that anvil.

106NE - The New Age of Magic

Prompt

You will be starting in an area called The Shambles, which is an archipelago in the northern reaches. It is temperate, but not tropical. In ancient times it was considered too rocky, treacherous and devoid of natural resources to really pay much attention to, but in reality it is completely hospitable now that it's been settled for a while. Civilization here is relatively young, but has been established for over 200 years.

The population counting all four major islands and the surrounding smaller islands is now nearly a million. There is a major city of about 250,000, two smaller cities with about 100,000 each and well around 400,000 divided among settlements, farms and fishing villages.

Even during The Isolation, many types of monstrous humanoid and more mundane monsters were still around, but in recent times purely magical nonsense beasts have begun to return. Rumors are beginning to spread of beholders and displacer beasts. Strange things from the sea are being spotted closer to civilisation every day. There might be a gelatinous cube somewhere around here.

People have started hearing commands from unseen speakers, telling them to do all manner of dangerous things. Some of you may have heard these calls.

Prompt

You are a criminal. Smuggler, assassin, bootlegger or sellsword who knows better than to ask questions - where money is concerned the law of the land is of little concern to you.

You've been contacted by someone you've worked for before - Gradbore Cranston, head attendant to the Martens in East Campbell. This isn't like before though - he's not asking for some illicit deed for his patrons - he says it's personal.

You've been offered 1000g for one morning's work, and told that there's potential for a 1000g bonus - come out of this on top and you'll make as much money today as you've made in the past year.

Bring an experienced crimes guy, lv5, 1000g to spend on equipment and supplies or 500g and one magic item.
