Storyline
Cormyr, an ancient
kingdom of renown, was rebuilding itself after constant war the
past few years. Alusair Obarskyr now sat as Regent for her newborn
nephew. The goblinkin were spread thin throughout the kingdom, but
more than numerous enough to still present a very harsh problem.
From the Stonelands came order for the goblinkin, making them withdraw
from human lands.
In the Stonelands, things stirred that hadn't moved in countless
centuries. Goblins, orcs, and ogres were seen working together under
an influenced hand. Those few brave royal scouts who dared to enter
the Stonelands often saw large hordes of goblinkin training, becoming
much more than simple-minded beasts. News spread throughout Cormyr
of the Stonelands becoming an organized force to fear.
Alusair sent out the call, requesting those who wished to become
Cormyrian nobility to take arms. Whoever could cleanse the Stonelands
of its current problems would be allowed to rule over it under the
Cormyrian throne. The call went out, and countless people answered.
At the borders of the Stonelands, temporary towns were established.
The Purple Dragons and the War Wizards showed their support of those
who took up the call.
Rather than allowing people to simply show up and enter the Stonelands
unprepared, the Royal Dragons and War Wizards saw to it that people
were put together in groups to ensure their safety. Once a group
was put together, the names and professions were written in a ledger
to ensure that things went smoothly. After which, the group would
sign the ledger under their own page and be given a proper adventuring
name. At this time, the group would be given a small supply of magical
healing and money for supplies.
However, rumors were starting to go around of the Stonelands' armies
amassing to unleash a new war upon Cormyr. Urgency was of utmost
importance. Can the goal be accomplished, and the hidden leader
behind all of the armies be revealed? That is yet to be seen.
