Campaign Introduction
In the year of our Lord, 8336 Founding, as reckoned by those in the United Kingdoms, we begin
our adventure in the Month of Mordun, the first month of Autumn.
The weather is just starting to chill. Mornings and nights are colder than the summer
days which have passed us by.
Each of you has left home or work to seek your fortune. The greatest city in the
region, Tel-Akbar, was your destination. After some efforts you found your way to the
Mercenaries hall there in that great city. There you could get in contact with fellow beings
who also sought adventure. It was not long before you found yourself in the company of
like-minded adventurers and soon you had formed a troupe.
A Daernarthoran dwarven warrior, by the name of Gerom, from the mountainous mining
town of Garnet; a fervent and practiced Mentalist, named Alexander, raised by elves despite
his being human; a maiden elfin ranger, named Foline, who is sister to Alexander; a
convicted thief, named Balan, who is trying to turn a new leaf and learn to make money by
more legal methods; and a strangely tall and black skinned non-human man, named Quinn, who
claims skill at the art of magic - all of you have gathered together and, finding each other
tolerable, have formed up a group to seek adventure.
Your group gathered together, there was but one matter to discuss before heading out
on the road of adventure - "Where shall we go?"
Tanos, the front officer of the Hall, overhearing your discussion, suggested that you
try visiting the town of Mendenton - a small village to the north of Tel-Akbar. He tells you
that he has heard word from other mercenaries that there is work there for those of an
adventurous spirit.
Mendenton... most of you only know the place as a stop-through trading town on the
banks of the Sirrion River, north of Tel-Akbar. Since most of you are from small towns and
find the vastness of Tel-Akbar to be overwhelming, you have agreed that perhaps this smaller
town would be a good place to start.
Leaving the bustle of Tel-Akbar behind you have traveled for four days along the
patrolled roads to Mendenton.
We'll begin our adventure at the gates of the city.
