High in the mountains of Old Khoroth, the ancient Kingdom that had lived
and died before even the old Empire, there was a tavern nestled among
three of Ardell's highest peaks. It saw few travellers these days, for
Old Khoroth's days were long in the past. Orcs, dwarves and men no
longer cared for its frigid peaks and had forgotten all of its ancient
secrets ... all but a few, and only one in a million souls knew the
truth. Only one in a million knew that the legendary mage Ilurian was
not a legend at all.
Five adventurers sat around the large table
in front of the fireplace, drinking mead and eating legs of roast
chicken. There was William the Bastard, an archer from the Kingdom of
Ashdell, not too far from here in the scheme of things. There was John
Nobody, a fire mage with the personality of a dull stone. There was
Valentine, a mysterious half-elf rogue. There was Lyle of Longbarrow, a
gruff hedge knight with a sordid past. And then there was Paddy Quick,
the thief prince of Nhinemarq and the brain who had pulled these
professionals together.
Before them lay a map, and a plan. They
were going to find the Seven Aspects of Ilurian and drink from the
fountain of knowledge, and woe betide any who stood in their way.
Paddy
looked at the sorry little group, knowing that five would likely not be
enough. Hopefully more had received his message and would come.
[OOC:
The Seven Aspects of Ilurian are talismans (kind of like horcruxes)
that each carry an aspect of the personality of Ilurian. Each aspect is
an amulet that if worn, grants a minor buff to the wearer. Combine all
seven and an ambiguous "fountain of knowledge" reward is promised, though what that is exactly remains to be seen.
Seven threads. Seven Aspects. Can we unite them all?
Opposition is also welcome.]
