The Shield of Order is the largest and most likely powerful group of all of the factions. The leader is unknown since the Great God Wars conclusion. The Shield of Order is split into several sub-factions that can even be equivalent in size to an individual faction. Each sub-faction has specialized abilities and individual leadership. This makes the sub-factions very different and very unique.
The Kingdom Under Zion Brakos. This is a diverse kingdom formed in the shadows of the great mountain in an area once populated by humans and elves, now dominated by half-dragons.
The Order of the Scale is a group formed to serve and protect the material plane from extraneous threats that it should not be able to handle on its own. It is also a place to take refuge from the gods if you are found worthy. It is noticeable that the group is almost exclusively Dragons. This group will fight at any cost to keep the material plane safe from the damage of the gods. When it comest to the "squabbles" of mortals the Order tends to not care or take a side unless there is a threat that transcends what mortals can handle. While this remains true individual members are allowed to do as they please as long as it does not detriment the group.
City of Castle Gold: The royal capital of the Crownland and home to the Brakos family Lineage
Modeans: Bar just outside the royal District
Mclarens: Bar just outside the city limits in the High Forest
Hertz Village: Village to the North and slightly East of the Capital well within a days travel.
The Plains Village: Village to the North of the Capital just barley inside two days travel.
The High Forest Village: Village to the North West of the Capital within a days travel.
In the aftermath of the Great God War the gods are left weak and recovering. Leaving the Gods distant and as disconnected to the material plane as they have ever been. This leaves an age of Gods in Recovery and a largely unmonitored material plane. Armies grow restless, Kings grow ambitious, and evil stirs in places once forgotten. Many of Dracula's generals and Dukes remain unfound, with much of his army lost in the winds. The war heroes and shield of order are left without a purposeful war to fight. Amid this turmoil a small party of Adventurers emerges. A changeling whose past is lost to him bent on finding it and learning the magics of the greatest magical continent on the planet in the meantime. A kobold who just wants to show the worth of his people who is being backed by a mysterious benefactor. Last but not least is the lovechild of the mighty Dragon leader Frost and one of the greatest mortal heroes turned daylighter Count Slane, who will do anything to accumulate the greatest hoard ever made.
The Campaign Begins with the party arriving in the City of Castle Gold. Noble Kayda Frost (Slane) arrives with her father Count Slane having just left the Western Continent to come to the Continent of Greater Magic to be closer to the Great Mountain and her mother, Frost. On her mother's recommendation and her name, she goes to meet with the King of the Crownland, Zion Brakos. Upon arriving to the castle, she meets a clerk who is swamped in late paperwork saying that the King isn't there and is on a diplomatic mission pending return. She offers to book an immediate appointment upon his return based on the importance of the reference of her Parents. Upon hearing of her father, the clerk mentions he is building his Manor on the wrong hill outside the city, which Kayda offers to go tell him. She then walks away from the booth toward the city but overhears a conversation of some citizens about an Orc raiding party harassing and attacking villagers to the North of the city.
Stygian Zhan a scruffy prideful blue Kobold Arrives in the city around the same time. Having flown here from the Western Continent on the back of their full dragon Drake Zhan who grew quite fond of him over the journey even offering a scroll of summoning should he ever get into great trouble. He arrives wishing to make a great name for himself and his people among the country of half dragons, humans,wood elves and high elves. Not knowing the customs or traditions of the people he saunters up to the castle full of arrogance and pride. He sees the clerk and goes right up to her asking to meet with the King. The Clerk makes a puzzled face and notes the King is not here while pulling down a scroll to reveal a several month long list to meet the King. She also notes that a person could jump the list provided they get the endorsement of one of the Royal Court members. She then Provides him a detailed list of the members and their positions for him to look over while she helps the approaching gentleman.
Miraculously around the same time as the other two a young Theodore Swift arrives in the City of castle Gold from his homeland of the Eastern Continent. A young changeling of only 17 he is a resurrected undead in love with magic hoping to get in touch with his former life. He is drawn to Castle Gold itself and feels the urge to meet with the King. He is greeted in similar fashion to how Stygian was with puzzlement and annoyance at the randomness of his request to meet with the King. He is told to either hop on the months long list or do as Stygian intends and get the endorsement of a Royal Court member.
Watching all of this happen Kayda approaches the two deciding that it would also help her standing with the King if she were to have meet with some of his Royal Court members. She also thinks that it may be a mutually beneficial plan to form a party to seek out the endorsements of the court. As they travel through the city they continue to hear the rumors of the Orcs to the north. They also gather the information that the Grand Master General, Chester Nimitz, a Royal Court member is sending out parties to hunt down the Orcs for great rewards. The party decides to go to the guard house to gain extra support passing a very intoxicated bar owner on the way who is yelling in the street. They make it to the bar where they are joined by the guardsman Gauge Floyd. Kayda then goes to see her father to tell him he is building on the wrong hill. As they arrive they see it is lunch time and he is showing off to his men by benching a wooden support beam weighed down by brick and other construction material. He reaches several tons a crowd forming chanting YES! YES! YES! Until she tells him of his mistake in zoning records. He proceeds to throw the half building they are working on at the new hill calling work over for the day. She then tells him of their mission to hunt the orcs which is overheard by a lumberjack, Jackson, who wishes to go with them. With the party set and the Blessing of her Father they set out.
They set out to Hertz village where they intend to search for any information on the Orcs. Was they arrive they are greeted by the guards Piear and Lewis who seem to be the only guards. They are taken to Karen Manager the leader of the village who tells them of the Orc attack and the death of the Mcmahn family. She tells them there are several other hunting parties in the area and that the Orcs probably headed west but there is information that the hunting parties have already killed many and there may be none left. She also offered to let the party stay at the home of the Mcmahns for the night before they set out to hunt for any surviving Orcs.
Late that night the party is awoken by an Orc attack on the house. Three Orcs attack them bringing down half the party in a awesome but brief struggle. The Orcs are defeated with the commotion bringing the guards Pier and Lewis. They are thanked by Ms. Manager for stopping the attack and give a letter of extreme gratitude that they can use to possibly meet with a member of the Court, the Marshal of the Realm, Henric Von Essen an older human man.
Rather than return to the Capital the party decides to travel West to the High Forest Village on a hunch. It is a few miles from the village that they find a large recently abandoned Orc camp. They party takes off traveling at maximum speed to go to the aid of the village. Jackson picks Stygian up so he isn't left behind due to his shorter stature. Once the party arrives they see the situation is very dire. The village is being overrun by the Orcs with many of its guards already dead. They quickly join in turning the tide of the battle and with the help of the rest of the party and the Knight leader of the village, Bill Nader, Kayda kills the Orc War Chief. It is revealed during the battle that Jackson is no ordinary lumberjack but is actually the brother of the Bearer of the Royal Standard, Marchion Ro!
After the battle Jackson uses a mysterious liquid called "The Feelz" to heal the injured including Gauge Twoo brother of the guardsman. They are thanked by Bill and given another letter For Marshal Essen. They are asked to check on Karen's village once more before returning to the capital. As they reach Hertz village they are invited to stay for dinner by Karen and to stay the night once more in the Mcmahn house. When they awaken they leave once more to return to the capital.
They make it to the construction site of Count Slane not much longer after daybreak so that Jackson can start his work-shift. He asks that the party join him one hour after dark at Mclarens Bar for drinks on him. They then travel onward to the city gate and the guardhouse where Gauge returns to his work. They are also not so friendly greeted by the Sergent on duty Unzire Zhan who tells them to bugger off as the General isn't there to pay them for the Orcs and wont be until after lunch. A more helpful guard suggests they visit Marshal Essen and even gives them directions to his office in the Noble District.
The party makes it to his office without incident being greeted by a secretary? and shown inside. There they meet with Essen who was expecting them and is very thankful for their work in the villages. He is so thankful he gives them a gold coin with his insignia, their first endorsement! This is because he believes they are worth the Kings time and should be congratulated for their deeds. They then pass the bar Modeans where the now sober owner Ashby Florent invites them in for drinks. They all get something to drink, Kayda with a respectable amount of milk and vodka, Theodore getting plastered on Kings Ale and Kings Scotch, and Stygian getting absolutely demolished on cup after cup of vodka. They also share nachos before they are told to leave by a group of Blue dragons who get offended by Theodore changing his form into Unzire Zhan and acting glum.
They then revisit the guard house to find Unzire is much much more hospitable now that he has had his breakfast. He tries to get the party to leave and come back sober before the general sees them but is to late and the General comes out to check on the commotion. He now sees the two that are drunk as unprofessional and disapproves of them but is fond of Kayda paying her for the Orcs and hoping they will work again in the future. She is paid 20 gold and give 5 for each of the others. He recommends they go to the Castle to turn in the endorsement they have and get the best possible appointment.
They travel back to Castle Gold where they finally ask the name of the secretary who tentatively identifies herself as L. She takes the endorsement and moves them up to 21 days from now to meet with the King as a group. She also congratulated them on their victory over the Orcs. They mention they are going to meet Jackson at Mclarens. They then leave to go find the bar to meet Jackson as it begins to get dark. They quickly find out that the bar is nowhere to be found. They are approached by a kind looking man who offers to help them. They ask where Mclarens is and he begins to lead the way. He leads them all the way to the gate where they stop to ask a guard if they are being tricked. They are assured that Mclarens is a high elf bar located in the High Forest.
As they get deeper into the forest the man, a high elf, asks if they have met with the general about the Orcs yet. He explains that he heard of their battle in the villages. They tried to hide the fact that they have already been paid but fail. He then demands their money and other people including three other thugs, one veteran, and one gladiator emerge from the forest. Combat ensues leading to the players defeating everyone but the gladiator who was nearly defeated in one turn due to insanely unfortunate luck(3 natural ones). He then drops his weapons takes off a magic ring revealing he is in possession of very many legendary weapons and enchanted weapons but then disarms himself. He congratulates the heroes as proficient Warriors revealing that he is a gladiator and a warrior under the contract of Lorna Dee the Master of the Royal household. He introduces himself as Therfian, a high elf and gives them his bosses endorsement. He then takes them to the bar where they are greeted by Jackson and surprisingly is very very very drunk brother Marchion who gives the party an endorsement. The players hang out and drink ,although nothing alcoholic, until Kayda is invited upstairs to the room of Marchion where she gives him a very special night. L also happens to be there and is given the two new endorsements and bumps their group meeting to the moment the King returns from his hunting trip in three days.
The party awakens in various places across the bar which seems to have been magically reconfigured into a warm lit cafe. Kayda wakes up in room suite 69 to an empty bed and a pink letter. The letter reads "Thank you for the amazing night sorry to run off but I have something to prepare for.... hopefully I will see you there if not, stay in touch [It also has a drawn winky face]". After going downstairs and rejoining the party the party is approached by the Gladiator, Therfian, who buys them breakfast and offers them a potential job for Lourna Dee. He informs the party that due to their amazing performance in the test the day prior they have been chosen to take part in a frighteningly well coordinated multi-court member operation of the most top secret variety, so much so he actually knows almost nothing himself. Kayda is payed 20 gold to do the mission based on how well she preformed in the fight, Stygian is paid 5 gold, and Theodore is paid 7 gold. The payment negotiations are cut a few seconds short by the arrival of Unzire and his knights who are ready to do the mission ASAP because it is stalling "LAMB TIME WOOO, IN THE NAME OF THE KING". They then all journey via the edge of the forest and behind hills around the capital and into the shadow of the hill the original Manor of Count Slane was being built where a modest force is gathering. As they arrive they see a Great banner bearing the Golf Anvil of the Craftsman Association overlapped by the Halberd of Destiny marking Agil the Great Craftsman Of The River and leader of the Craftsman Association. In utter awe the party realizes that were a barren hill stood the day before is now a fully completed Manor of Daylight known as Goodrich Manor, which is so castle and fortress like it can hardly be refereed to as something as lowly as a manor. Standing six full floors at its pinnacle atop the crest of the hill creates a very foreboding sight for the now somewhat ill suited force gathered.
At this point Unzire tells the group to stay put and goes to join a group of knights to get the details of the mission, concurrently Therfian goes off to join a group of gladiators to do the same. When they return they tell the party that the force is gathered to test the strength and capabilities of both Goodrich Manor and Count Slane. The goal is to bring down the count before his fortress is fully garrisoned a few hours from now. During the explanation the Great Chancellor of Magic, Nihil Tempest (a hulking ominous figure covered in a formless robe floating off the ground no light entering his robes), arrives and approaches The Grand Master General Chester Nimitz who seems to have already been there. A figure appears in the sky clad in chrome cherry red armor holding a MASSIVE banner of the king , Marchion Ro actually respecting his roll as Bearer of the Royal Banner plants its staff in the ground and join the other court members. A podium and stage is raised benieth the three with Nimitz at the center. He explains to the forces, numbering over four hundred with near a tenth being knights or gladiators, that this is merely a test exercise and no one will be hurt permanently on either side. Nihil will be casting Great Sealed Vortex creating a harmless battlefield for the fight, in which Marchion is to fight the count in single combat which he is not at all confident about as he tells Kayda. The fight is expected to go rather well for the court forces as the Count is only expected to have around a hundred men and himself to defend the fortress at the moment.
The fight begins by Marchion approaching the main gate demanding that the Count come out and face them in the name of the King. Nihil then steps forward casting the Great Sealed Barrier, a massive dome drops over the battlefield enveloping the entire fortress and the surrounding area completely. The gate opens revealing a very different situation than expected. In the open gate stands not one Count but three, Count Slane, Count Cruhteo, and Countess Derriere which seem to be in the middle of a party. They come out of the fortress with the defending forces which are slightly larger than anticipated numbering just under a hundred Daylighters and just under two hundred guards. The fight is started by Nihil using Nailed to the sky on Count Cruhteo which is epic counter spelled by the Countess, which is in turn epic counter spelled by Nihil(this happens a few more times), then Countess Derriere and General Nimitz essentially leave the fight to go play chess as a test of tactical minds. Cruhteo is essentially knocked out of the fight for the time as he is thrown into the upper atmosphere. Nihil then sits behind Nimitz to observe the match. The common soldiers then clash. The party is confronted by a few basic soldiers which they begin to do battle with, they do rather well bringing down their foes, who disappear upon death as per the Barrier. As the fight progresses Kayda seems to be doing absolutely remarkable, almost to well. She defeats many soldiers every strike finding its perfect mark. She is confronted by full blooded daylighters who immediately prove to be no match for her storm of fury. The fight progresses with the daylighters winning by a good bit, even Marchion seems to be losing ground with his fight taking to the sky with Slane. The numbers advantage swings to the Counts forces as Stygian and Theodore are defeated along with many of the captains and gladiators. A daylighter identified as the right hand of Slane is identified by Kayda who proceeds to kill her saying he doesn't agree with what the others are doing, Kayda then realized people have been letting her win(also derriere has been upping her damage output from afar for the entire fight[since it helped his side Nimitz did nothing to stop her]). Marchion activates his trump card using Combo Star and using it he defeats Slane at the one hundredth hit. Unzire summons Kayda as he is told an idea by Therfian. She is told to fire an ice blast at a large concentration of mainly counts men which she does, both Unzire and Therfian boost the attack Unzire with up-cast Status Promotion and Therfian with up-cast Power Amplify. This causes the small bolt to grow to the size of a massive ice bolder decimating the cloud of people. The chess game that it seems the Countess was winning ends with a surprising sneak maneuver by the General resulting in his victory. Nihil then stands up and uses Omega Ark killing everyone but the General, Marchion, himself, and The countess who casts Trick Star up-cast to swap places with Cruhteo. Upon his return he defeats Marchion and Nihil with somewhat ease leaving the General to call the fight for him and the Counts forces as victor. Nihil returns everyone to the field. Slane then invites all the combatants inside to commence the second coming of his party. Hours later the rest of the daylighters arrive and the party lasts well into the night.
During the party Theodore makes friends with Billy the Kid who takes his spell-book and goes to show his mom who learns very much from it. It is later revealed that his mom is the Countess but father is not Cruhteo. Marchion flirts with the Countess which Kayda tells Cruteo who gets quite mad. Nihil is informed and uses The Great Sealed Barrier again to save him. Stygian bonds with the Knight Unzire and they consume lamb and drinks well into the night. The party continues until an emissary arrives from Thul informing them of many Goblins under the command of Brenko, brother of Krenko, have crossed into the country. A guard then arrives from the capital informing all that contact with the King was lost. Count Slane sends his forces out to protect the villages from goblins so that the Kings men can find the King.
Part 4: TO THE KING HURRY
After everyone gains their composure the forces there are split into groups to search the many places the King may be. The party is grouped up with Unzire and Therfian as well as some of their men. they go into the wards and before they find anything it is already day. They finally find some orc tracks and goblin tracks which split in two directions. Unzire takes the party one way and Therfian goes the other way with the men. Both groups find camps of enemies. They proceed to fight with the orcs and goblins leading to a short but bloody fight as it seems the party will finally prevail a column of orcs enter the camp with a prisoner. The prisoner recognizes the Knight Unzire on the ground and gets quite mad. He then uses Hunter fest to defeat all the enemies in one move. He helps Unzire up and introduces himself as the King, Zion Barkos first of his name King of the Crownlands. Nihil then arrives telling the King of the goblin invasion and takes him back to the Capital for a royal court meeting. The King invites the party to meet with him immediately following his meeting.
It takes the party several hours to arrive at Castle Gold. As they approach the Castle, Theodore begins to get the feeling of familiarity again, but as they enter the castle he realizes it is just because of similar architecture. The party then enters the throne room Theodore kneels before the King as a courtesy before he realizes the throne room is very large and long. The party then approaches the King until a guardsman informs them they are in fact close enough. The King asks why the party wishes to meet with him. Kayda so that she may gain a reputation and an introduction, Stygian to begin the groundwork for the noble house of Kobolds, and Theodore to research magic. Theodore shows the king his Grimoire who cant make sense of it but summons Nihil who seems to have a fair grasp of it. The King then catches the party up on the events of the goblins and orcs and offers to pay them to help in the hunt. He also decides to promote Unzire to the rank of Captain and asks Stygian to bring the news to him. The party accepts and goes to see General Nimitz to barter for how much the payment will be.
The party exits the castle and is pulled aside by L who has a blue letter for Stygian that shocks him when he takes it signifying it is from his family. It reads as follows:
"Dear Cousin Stygian
The family has heard of your successes from the diplomatic office and it seems a member of the court is impressed with you. They seem to have kept a close eye on you and have sent detailed news of your progress to us. We want to offer our deepest congratulations. We are also sorry but there are things we must tell you. Its getting worse here... the crops are just so bad off this season its caused record food prices... winter was cold as well... the family Patriarch passed away at the start... we couldn't keep warm enough and many of the young were lost to the cold. We hope, no need to hear from you soon any good news would be a gods send to us. Stay safe Stygian.
Love, The Family
P.S. If you find the weight of the gold you have to heavy to carry don't forget your roots."
Chapter 2: The Rediscovery of MienZocitidella
Part 1:Wyvern Tor and Pieres Mother
The party then travels to see General Nimitz who only wants to speak to Kayda for negotiation. She is given a fair price by the kings terms of one gold per downed Goblin. He also suggests they stop by Hertz village to check and make sure there are no goblins nearby and speak to Karen. Then travel to the High Forest village to join in the search. It seems it was attacked the night prior to no avail due to the extra protection offered by the Counts men. They tortured the goblin and found out that over 600 crossed into the country as well as orcs. Stygian and Theodore join in "LAMB TIME" with Unzire and tell him of his promotion to Captain. Stygian and Theodore find an extra letter added to the one he received from home. A note from an onnomious court member explaining where the goblins may be operating from. They may be hiding in an old cave lost to time known as the Legendary Fort MienZocitidella. Used by ancient kings to ride out a forgotten war perhaps between gods. Unzire then pulls Stygian aside for a private conversation. He tells of how after agreeing to join the House of Kobolds once it is formed he dug into him and his background. He discovered the hardships of the family and wants to help, Stygian agrees to give all the party's payment for the goblin hunts to Unzire in exchange for the transport of the entire family to the country. Unzire then sets out to make the necessary preparations.
The party travels to Hertz Village and are meet by Piere on the outskirts and taken to Karen. When they approach her she immediately seems releaved to see them. She greets them eagerly and tells them that she needs help. She thinks Goblins have set up in a nearby cave known as Wyvern Tor as a prelude to a raid on the village. Piere nobility offers to lead the party there and help in any way possible. The party accept the mission and follow him there. They arrive and fight their way through the tightly packed cave all the way to the end where two bards were being held prisoner. They are set free and pay the adventurers but everyone agrees to give the money to Piere and his mother. They then return to the village and are invited to the home of Piere and his mother for dinner. Karen Manager then appears at the house and gives the party the deed to the Mcmahn house to the party. They decide that Piere and his mother would be moved there to watch over the house in their absence.
Part 2: Finding Eben-Emael
The party begins the next morning traveling to the high forest and is quickly joined by Marchion Ro who is also heading west to that region in search of the goblins. They then all go the the High Forest Village where they speak to the village leader and learn the goblins retreated somewhere to a mountain base. It is speculated they are not all together but are in several groups. Throughout the days journey and the following days they are attacked and ambushed several times but only face small forces. They eventually run into a group of knights of the kingdom of Thul (as well as ) looking for the goblins as well. They get very defensive and a fight almost ensues based on who is in whose territory until one of the knights realizes they accidentally crossed the border. They join up with the party and head south in groups to search. It isn't long before they find the fort. Near the base of a mountain a small opening is found with an ajar dwarven metal door. The inside past the door is a massive dark cavern with a large iron gate to the left magically lit to the sides with blue torches. The group is attacked by two big orcs but with their numbers overpower them fast. They then trick the guards on the other side of the gate to let them in and find a great hall that has been converted into a mess room. The goblins and orcs inside are unarmed and not expecting a fight so they are beaten back by the knights so that the rest of the party can go on to find the leader Brenko. They go down a large hallway lined at first with nicer personal rooms which are empty, then a very large barracks on both sides again not expecting a fight and are easily defeated. Brenko is located in the keep at the end of the long hallway. Their fight is short and disappointing but they learn from Brenko that no one knows the location of the fort but him and them. They search the fort and quickly find out it has been raided of all things of worth loooooong ago. The walls are made of a rotted dead almost fossilized wood desperately needing replacement however the walls and floors are made of a nice intact marble. They find armories across the fort and a treasury as well as a library that seems to bend time slightly. The knights find that the kitchen is somewhat stocked from the goblins. The party leaves the fort with the knights who have decided to join the house of Kobolds and join this nation with the exception of the captain who returns home. They leave the fort after discovering two very important things. One is the fact that there is another MUCH larger dwarven metal door at the other side of the cavern. The second is that both doors are sentient. The smaller one acknowledges Theodore as his master and grants him the ability of control over it. The larger door which upon closer inspection the wall is crumbling around the edges of the door revealing more dwarven metal. They then seal the door and head to the capital with the knights to register them and the fort, start the house of Kobolds, and get paid for killing Brenko and much of his forces. The trip takes a mere 5 days and nothing much happens and the group makes it back with nothing of note happening aside from visiting the High Forest village ,Hertz village and Goodrich Manor on the way.
Part 3: House of Kobold
The party goes to see General Nimitz to get their payment. The General informs them that Unzire has already got it for them so they go to see whats up. They bump into L who is carrying a letter for Stygian in a blue envelope yet again. It reads as so:
"Dear Cousin
I cant believe you are a personal friend of the captain of the guard, that is incredible! Not only that but your a prospering adventurer in this new land? We could not have hoped for a better candidate to be the new Patriarch to lead the family following the death of Eddie Zahn! We cannot wait to meet your friends Kayda, Theodore, and Unzire and begin the Noble House of Zahn! We will arrive in nine days thanks to your coin and Unzires efforts! You have delivered us from poverty and the other clans and families pray for our success to all the gods. With hopes one day they too can be saved.
With Happy Regards
Cousin Andrew"
The party then hears a ruckus coming from up the road toward them. They see Unzire enveloped in a cloud of small blue Kobolds as well as many normal sized all around. Stygian immideatly knows this to be his family. They all happily embrace and decide the best course of action to follow this revelation would to be to go see the King. Unzire tells the party the payment was used to bring the family to the continent and Kayda cant help but feel dissapointed in the loss of the coin... until she realizes just how many the Zhan number (241). Then she begins to look at it more as a net gain on an unknown investment. Unzire also reveals that he has gathered every single endorsement coin from the entire royal court while they were gone so they can immediately gain an audience with the King for that purpose. They then go to see the King.
They show the endorsements to the Kings guards at the gate and the entire group of them go into the castle with the full trust of the escort guards. They make it to the throne room where all the guards inside take a defensive position around the King. Unzire then steps forward handing many of them the individual coins which quickly calms the room. The meeting starts with the 6 knights requesting to join the kingdom and declare for the House of Kobolds upon its creation. The Zahn family requests to join the country as well. The King grants the requests. They party informs the King they have found MienzoCitidella and the entrance fort Eben-Emael and have been acknowledged as the master of the first by the dwarven metal door. Which is more than enough to house their newly acquired "forces" which makes them at the minimum eligibility to form a noble house. Then to add weight to the application Unzire requests permission to join as a house guard with the personal recommendation of the General. The King considers all this and decides to grant the application.
The party the decides to go to Unzires house to discuss where all the separate Zhan Kobolds will go as well as where to send all the knights. They decided 14 kobolds including the elder, Rommel, the knight , Kayda, and Unzire himself will stay in his house in the capital for now pending upgrades to the property. They also decide to leave 10 kobolds at Hertz village with Piere and his mother. The rest are to go to the fort with the party. Immediately after the Deliberations are finished the city noise from outside fades away. The room turns dark as the elder stands up and the runs full speed into a wall knocking himself unconscious. Unzire seems to fight some unseen force before hitting his head on the table before him until he to is rendered unconscious. A purple smoke rolls in as a figure made of shadows with glowing purple eyes fazes through the door into the room toward the party.
Pick up with Chiaki Matsuda here
The ancient elvs are alive, well, and in a height of power.
