The land is ruled by the Inquisition, whose sole purpose is to prevent this unthinkable crime. In their failure, dark things began to happen that seem to foretell the ending of the world. The harsh conquests of the undead, coupled with the magic-hating Inquisitors, would forge a motley band of heroes and heroinnes to face the monumental evil of t… text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:45+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:home&rev=1632844245&do=diff Campaign I, the War of the Undead The world's recovery from the globe-spanning destruction of the Storm Wars was interrupted by a necromancer bent on world domination and resurrecting the same powers that had nearly broken the world. The War of the Undead the necromancer brought about culminated in the resurrection of a god in service to mortal man. The war sent armies of undead walking the oceans and terrorizing the night, and created a generation of people terrified of the dark, the bones o… text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:45+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-1&rev=1632844245&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 1, The War of the Undead Trilan 18th, 1316 Avard High Priest Doreth of the Rakanus Clan of the Western Peninsula sent one of his vicars, Dwarfendale Fistforger, to the Warkore Clan of the Western Peninsula.

The humans were hurting and frightened, but for an exhorbant fee, one of them parted with a guard dog. The priest used his healing powers on what villagers he could, and then set out for the southeast; the Warkore Clan was some 200 miles away. Dwarfendale, and the dog (whom he named Gideon), trudged on, keeping the Slav River on … text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:47+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-3&rev=1632844247&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 3 Trilan 24th, 1316 Avard Dwarfendale spent the night there at Mount Basilisk, and then set out the next day with a contingent of Warkore Dwarves as escort. One of the dwarven escort, Grithale Stormblade, became friends with Dwarfendale. Their return journey was arduous, but quick, as they used a boat to sail the bayous, from Mount Basilisk, back to the home of the Rakanus Dwarves, Mount Lavanor. There, High Priest Doreth welcomed the Dwarves, and began the hea… text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:47+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-4&rev=1632844247&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 4 Vor 3rd, 1316 Avard After several days, Doreth returned to Dwarfendale, and returned the ring. The 'minor ring of tracking' had two command words -- Voracious, and Reaper. Voracious would cause the ring to track organics that were very similar to anything nearest the ring, other than the bearer, if the target has been within three miles, within two days. Reaper will track down the last bearer of the ring, provided he wore it for seven days or more.

The bullywugs apparently ate the original owner of the ring, as it keeps tugging at every bullywug they come across.

Father Bryan, his wits still about him, informs Dwarfendale that the undead struck from the swamps, while the orc tribes struck from the desert. Grithale must see to the clean-up, but Dwarfendale must use the ring of tracking to find a holy ring that was stolen during the fighting. On his way out, Dwarfendale Fistforger runs into reinforcements from the Warkore Clan. One of them, a w… text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:47+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-7&rev=1632844247&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 7 Vor 11th, 1316 Together, using freshly spilled blood from wounded and retreating orcs, the two set a course northeast, for the Choranil Desert. To the south, they find that the village of Kashin has been growing under dwarven tutelage, and the humans are more healthy. They head further east, and eventually leave the forest for the desert. Not too much later, they come across the remnants of an elven village. Kobolds try to attack the duo, but are beaten back text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:47+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-8&rev=1632844247&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 8 Vor 16th, 1316 Rottgutt and Dwarfendale continue on the trail, travelling by night, with the two moonlets to guide them. As the ring begins to pull northward, they begin coming across orc and kobold bodies, with arrows in them. Eventually they meet up with Malkir, a tall, powerfully built elf. Malkir had returned to his village, after a week of hunting, to find carnage. Rottgutt, in turn, relates his past text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:48+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-9&rev=1632844248&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 9 Vor 17th, 1316 They finally found a lair of kobolds, after taking out various orc parties along the way. The group tried a straight-on assault of the underground lair. After the bodies had built up, and several orcs had come into the tunnel behind them, the trio (and Gideon) abandoned the frontal assault. They muscled into place several large stones, after setting grease fires in the tunnels. Outside, the kobolds tried to escape, but were cut down as the smo… text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:45+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-10&rev=1632844245&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 10 Vor 17th, 1316 Inside the kobold lair they found ashes and smoldering rubble. There were numerous piles of gold and silver and copper slag. Rats had evidently survived the fire in smaller passages -- and one of them had the ring! Trailing and digging as best they could, Dwarfendale used rat-pups to lure the giant rat with the ring out text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:45+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-11&rev=1632844245&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 11 Vor the 18th, 1316 They surfaced in a pool, several miles from the kobold's caverns. The rat's nearby nest was easily found, and a flying axe from Rottgutt killed the pest, and recovered the ring. Malkir, his rage having ebbed during the night, decided to return home with the two dwarves text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:46+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-12&rev=1632844246&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 12 Vor the 18th, 1316 Travelling by night, resting by day, the group returned to the elven village of Vinaalaalus.

Down they went, to find the armory on the edge of a natural cave system. The armory showed no sign of forced entry, and no sign of obvious theft text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:46+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-14&rev=1632844246&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 14 Vor the 28th, 1316 Rottgutt had wandered off -- together, Malkir and Dwarfendale went to meet Father Doreth. The High Priest of the Rakanus Clan, and perhaps the most powerful dwarf in the west, was in the temple with a High Vicar. Dwarfendale's tone with Doreth was no more respectable than Doreth's with Dwarfendale. Fistforger's ballsy use of the cold forge to rehammer one of his quarrels into place sent Doreth over the edge. As the quarrel glowed text/html 2021-09-28T15:50:46+00:00 http://sisterworlds.com/doku.php?id=gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_i:i-1-15&rev=1632844246&do=diff Campaign I, Chapter One, Session 15 Vor the 28th, 1316 Father Bryan took over immediately, and interrogated the two at length. The mithrilized, holy quarrel was placed over the holy forge, which relit at Dwarfendale's bequest. Fistforger dumped most of his gold and silver on the anvil, and it was molten immediately. Dwarfendale received a dream vision outlining a page of the Holy Book, a picture that is of importance to all.
