(The Prologue was a series of tests made to set the mood for the campaign as a sort of Tutorial. This is also used to help set up the setting of a country with a sickened and dyeing ruler)
The party is told that to meet the king they must first prove worthy to the three advisers to the King.
The party meets with the adviser to the King, Zaratros, who sends them into the forest to fight a bearded devil. Upon reaching the gate to leave the capital city, Vekil, they are accompanied by a guard known as Kevyen who wishes to become an adventurer. They begin to travel into the forest and once deep inside hear screams and the sounds of battle. There is a party of city guardsmen doing battle with the mighty devil but they are being wiped out. The party enters combat and to the surprise of everyone the killing blow is dealt by none other than Kevyen. After this the party returns to the city to collect their reward and go onto the next of the three tasks. The most notable part of the reward is the acceptance into the Shield of Order organization.
Upon collecting their reward the party is told that the next adviser is the head royal guard Giermo. He requires that the party take back the nearby fort Sildenafil that has been overtaken by goblins. The party is lead to the fort by a group of 30 towns guardsmen who surround the fort in case the goblins retreat. After a four hour march east the group arrives at the small fort. The group assaults the fort and eliminates the goblins with somewhat ease with the towns guard Kevyen killing much more than anticipated by the group. In addition to this due to some questionable actions Nikolai is nicknamed Nikolai the shattered. The group returns to the town and is paid for their efforts.
Upon completion and payment for Clearing Sildenafil the group is approached by a large, ornately dressed man ink heavy armor. He introduces himself as the High Lord Naskurl. The Lord asks the group for their help in a discrete matter. His son has been kidnapped by a rival house, known as the house of Thul.  Lord Naskurl states that he has no proof and cannot assault the other house without risking a war in the city. He asks the group to infiltrate Thul manor and rescue his son or find proof that can be shown to the King. The group accepts and decides to rest and complete the operation after nightfall. The group then uses a map and guard shifts provided by the head guard to sneak to the manor without detection. When they arrive there they find it to be dark and begin to search for possible entrances. They find a cracked open window and notice all other entrances are sealed shut. They also notice that the building is unnecessarily well guarded with heavily armored house guards throughout. They sneak in through the window and take down the guards in the room, immediately after they are forced to clear the house room by room until the only room that remains is the main atrium. The party notices that throughout the entire encounter every time someone is killed they are snatched away from existence by an unknown force. The group finally breaches the last room to find many more guards than they would be able to handle at once as well as the head of the house, the feared lord Thul donned in sleek black armor that disguises his appearance. The Lord then orders his men to attack in waves to weaken the party. Because of this the party is able to defeat all the guards. They then begin to do combat with the Lord. It is soon made clear that even if they were not already fairing less than well because of the previous combats they would have no hope of winning the fight. At this moment with much of the party down and on the verge of death, Nikolai shouts "Bless the Gods". At this moment the Lord pauses then reaches to swing his sword again. At this point Giermo and Zaratros appear clapping their hands. The Lord pauses yet again and removes his helmet to reveal that he is actually the High Lord Naskurl. He then reveals to the party that all three tasks were staged and set to gauge the strength of the party. With the final task being orchestrated personally by the high lord. It is also at this moment that he realizes that the guard Kevyen is actually his long lost son. After a touching reunion the party is sent to finally meet with the King.
