Session 19 - 21 July 20th & Aug 24th 2013

Azura 5th – Party reaches the village of Keserin by evening. The village has been destroyed and burnt to the ground. They find many bodies nailed to trees and dismembered. Some look partially eaten. The next morning the PC’s reach Quiso and find it under siege by unknown forces. This force is infantry, but they have 4 armoured greater Trolls with them (Party passes fright/moral rolls). The party sees sitting in the tree line a group, some mounted. There is a standard; it looks to belong to the Earl of Tormau. He is seen sitting on his horse next to a huge humanoid. Its head is eye level with the earl. They seem to be discussing and observing the force sieging the Keep. The party decide to run for it, but are notice. 2 Troll break off and give pursuit under the order of a creature that is recognized as a Noldor Elf by the PC Sindarin, Aeronor.

Party is attacked the next day as they try to ditch their pursuers. Aerenor the Sindar manages to escape, but the 2 Thardans have trouble with their mounts and are soon attacked by a Troll. Both are “killed” in the battle but are separated. Albanus awakes to find himself in Zaza. It seems that he was found left for dead, but breathing (by this point) by Grand master Bisidrel of the Order of Mameka. Bisidrel has been hiding out in Zaza helping the baron defend his lands after having Bedenes to a force of altered Black Orcs and couple of Trolls. GM Note: A lot went on in this session, the combat was amazing as both players never got a chance to pull weapons until the very end.

Albanus leaves for Golotha on the 9th. Zost is found by Bisidrel, who is Zost’s father’s half-brother, and brought to Zaza on the 10th. Zost recovers and takes his leave on the 11th. Both Thardans carry messages to King Arren from Bisidrel claiming his loyalty and desire to serve the crown.

Aeronar, who escaped ends up in Ithiko. Arrives in late evening of the 9th. There is a gathering and ceremonies at the temple of Morgath. Aeronar, skirts town and heads for the woods. While resting he meets an Amorvin, who claims he is Balshal. He warns Aeronor of a taint within the church which will be the doom of man. Sindar and Amorvus part ways and Aeronor continues to Arketh, where he finds a ship to take him to Golotha, then to Shaval to stay the winter. There he meets with King Anarath and learns a bit about the Sindarin past and how his distant cousin, Gwydriel may be involved.

Albanus makes Arketh and leaves on the 10th to Golotha. Finds out the King is not there but with his troops on the Thardic border. He is debriefed by the Lord Chancellor, Xavier Walsyngham. He is then taken to Corranan by means of Dreyni magic on the 15th.

Xost’s player missed a few sessions, so to keep things easy on me; Xost makes it back to Corranan without incident and spends time at his manor at Troul.

Albanus meet up with Aeronor in Corranan, at the Grey House (Xost & Albanus’s Town house) in the New Year. Albanus spend his winter, managing his manor and entertaining an emissary of the King, Rhonna of Fahl. Rhonna spends the winter in Perawol manor discussing Theology and the nature of the divine.

Albanus meets with the Nordakkas on the 1st of Nuzyael 721 (Hurray! Finally had a campaign make it to a new year!) to discuss the war and future plans. Albanus spends some coin to purchase more land around Perawol manor from the Nordakkas.

2nd of Nuzyael an assassination attempt is made on Aeronor in the middle of the night. He is wounded but survives. The attacker escapes, but leaves a distinctive calling card, his arrow, which Aeronor recognizes as belonging to the Noldor Vanidor, whom he believed was part of the force in Quiso. Aeronor suspects that Vanidor has succumbed to the old ways and embraced the dark path.

GM Note: My elves have a slightly darker history than the harnic norm. The PC is just starting to learn a bit about the grim past.

3rd Nuzyael – using the influence of the Nordakkas, Albanus & Aeronor observe the senate while in session. Aeronor suspects that Gwydriel may be acting as a human senator, using her influence to drive the humans into war. Aeronor at this time is on the fence and playing coy to Albanus questions. He spots Gwydriel and sends a note, hopping for a meeting. He is rebuffed and warned that he may regret the path he is taking…

Sessions end.
