their path to reestablish the guild. The revelation that the 3 sons of
Bladesimmer were together was enough incentive for the guild to dispatch an
assassin to kill the sons. Hence my boys are wondering what the hell is
going on. Their tasks will be to discover that they are brothers, that the
shadow thieves are after them and that they are just what their family never
wanted them to be. There are clues which I will detail later on how they
might figure this out. If they are to be successful they must first go to
Waterdeep, gather information there, and then head to the land of Amn to
confront their nemesis.

Lhestyn was born in 1276 DR and ruled as "open" Lord of Waterdeep
after her parents' death. When she died, in 1314 DR (with only 38 years
old), Piergeiron assumed as her successor. She was a hell of a corageous
woman (having the nerve to infiltrate and expose the Thieve's Guild, and
beeing the agent of their downfall), and probably suffered a lot too (with
the death of her fathers - her mother immolating herself on her father's
funeral pyre - and the assassination of her husband with whom she had been
married for 11 years). It is also known that she had at least one other
child besides Khelben : his sister, Lady Cassandra that married Lord Rhammas
Thann, head of one of the richest clans of Waterdeep, and that had several
sons, including the (in)famous Danilo Thann, hero of the novel "Elfshadow",
as well as the novel "Elfsong"). All in all, a woman worth of many
bards' songs...

- High Forest, Stronghold of the Nine. -- About the Stronghold : the
first thing to know is what is the current year in your campaign. Why ?
Because things in the Stronghold happened in 3 different periods : During
their adventures (probably before 1356 DR) the Nine, which were one of the
most famous and powerful adventuring companies of the North, led by the
Archmage Laeral (one of the Seven Sisters), found the former dwarfhold and
rebuilt it. After they retired they made it their home. At this time, the
Stronghold is known to have "strange and powerful magical guardians
(including nagas and golems)". (See FR1, page 10). We also have the
information that the Nine stored much of their gained treasure in the
Stronghold, and that none of them were less than 14th level.
Waterdeep: Hammer (Pre-Avatar)
- -- THEOPHILUS RETURNS TO THE CITY OF SPLENDORS!! Theophilus, a member of
the Company of the White Hand, and a famous cleric of the city has returned!
He had been gone for some time, and there have been many stories reported of
he and his company's acheivements. The most notable was the defense of the
town of Nesme against a huge, unearthly Troll attack. Some of the tales say
that the Trolls could fly, and use magic! Even more tales say, a undead
Dragon came forth to attack the town! But Theophilus repelled the foul
invaders.
- It is considered to be a good omen, that now in the dark of winter, the
city filled with mercernaries about to march in the snow to Dragonspear
castle to fight devils, that a cleric of Torm, the god of defense, is in the
city to set things right.
Waterdeep: Hammer (Pre-Avatar)-- DWARVEN COMPANY TO LEAVE WATERDEEP. The
Company of the Red Shield, an excusively dwarven mercernary company will be the
first company to march south to fight the devils of Dragonspear Castle.
"Let the humans sit and freeze, while we win the day," snarls Immar
Deepaxe, leader of the company. The company, with its unusual shoes that allow
it to walk onto deep snow, is mobilizing far faster than the human or other
companies. It is ordered to go to the Way Inn, and set up a command post for
other companies to follow.

- High Forest, Stronghold of the Nine. -- Their treasure was their
downfall. Probably sometime between 1356 and 1358 DR the disagreement over
The Crown of Horns, an artifact in Laeral's possession led to internal
disputes and open war, with the Stronghold as the battlefield! In FR5, page
52 we see that now the Nine are only Five and the Stronghold is in turmoil.
The above ground buildings are abandoned and in poor repair. The large
underground complex is ill-defended and in constant warfare, as the 3
different factions of the remaining Five (helped by their followers -
probably henchmen - and probably also by many strange summoned creatures),
battle over the control of the evil Crown. It is said that the Five include
a figther, a cleric, two mages and one thief (none of them below 15th
level). One of the mages is Laeral, who is very changed from her former self
(see FR5, page 58). Her mind warped by the crown, she is completely mad, and
her age is catching fast, probably due to the failure of the magicks of
longevity (remember, Laeral, as the other Seven Sisters is about 150 years
old). Visitors to the Stronghold at this time are treated like intruders by
her and her ex-comrades.
- Myth Drannor - Time of Troubles -- A group of adventures
became Harper heroes today, after single handedly killing not one, but THREE
liches in the School of Wizardry(see FR boxed set for layout). They were
originally sent there over a year ago, when Lashan of Scardale fled there
after his war with the dales. On their first trip they only reported seeing
one lich, but they escaped, bringing the captured Lashan with them. It was
then they were asked to return again, as a test to see if they were worthy
of being Harpers. Three weeks later they appeared in the village square
seemingly out of thin air. When questioned by Storm Silverhand, she heard a
spectacular story of planar travel, and a battle with a group of githyanki.
The adventurers, led by an elven fighter mage, even produed a githyanki
head, and one of their fabled two handed swords. Storm, impressed with their
bravery, made them Harpers. After a long layover, they were asked to go to
Aglarond by Storm to look into some sort of business, and on the night of
the fall of the gods, they were teleported there by Elminster himself.
Unfortunately for them the adventurers would not make it there for another
two weeks. The instability in magic caused them to end up near Castle
Perilous in Vaasa. Using two psionicists with dream travel, they headed
south in leaps and bounds. After reporting with the Simbul it is unknown
what they did, but somehow, they returned to Shadowdale just three weeks
after talking with her. They returned bearing some very evil magical items,
including an evil staff of the magi, but also with the heads of not one but
THREE liches.
- According to rumor, they were magically teleported from some inn in
Telflamm, and brought to the School of Wizardry. It is thought by most that
the instability in magic aided, not hindered this group of adventurers.
- Currently, the adventurers are resting three miles north of Shadowdale in
a small dugout house.
- Silverymoon toward Ascore -- A group of adventurers are
currently going to Ascore on their way to the Pillar of Thoras located deep
in the Anauroch desert where an powerful oracle is rumored to be located. As
they are nearing Ascore, an earthquake (the first in centuries since the
creation of Anauroch itself by the Phaerims) shake the region. Strange
undead (like semi intelligent skeleton) are seen stalking the party, but
always from distance. They are nearing the hill caverns that lead down to
Ascore. They hope to learn there the location of one of the Seven Swords of
Wayland.

- Hubadai (son of Yamun) invades Semphar.
- High Forest, Stronghold of the Nine. -- Their rescuers were Khelben
and Alustriel. The Blackstaff in person destroyed the Crown of Horns and
liberated Laeral from its influence. They developed a strong bond and she
became his consort. This probably happens sometime between 1358 DR and 1360
DR. (See Dragon #181, page 18, and "Running the Realms", in the
New Boxed Set). After that Laeral created a Simlacrum of herself and left it
at the Stronghold to deceive treasure- seekers. It is not known if any of
the other four remanescents of the Nine survived, but I would say that more
could have died. Even if some of them survived (besides Laeral), I would say
that they would probably do the same that Laeral did and travel away from
the bad memories of their time in the Stronghold. Laeral probably does not
appear in the Stronghold, as all references to her say that she is either in
Waterdeep with Khelben, or in Skullport with "Kitten"
investigating things, or in Evermeet with her sister Dove. (See Dragon #167
and #172 about Undermountain and Skullport, and the references in the novel
"Elfshadow" - that happens in 1361 DR - about her staying sometime
in Evermeet).
- As a last idea, remember that, from period (c) onward, although Laeral is
not there, her Simulacrum is and it (she), is a conscious and living being,
with 40% to 65% of the knowledge and personality of the original being. She
also could be reasonably powerful (5th level to 12th level magic user), and
probably considers the Stronghold HER house (as she was given the order to
live here and protect the place by her creator). She will also possibly have
the command over whatever guardian creatures (like golems) that still
inhabit the place. She will be pysically identical to Laeral, but her
personality could be different (for instance not being so gentle as Laeral,
or not worrying much about the world at large... ;-)

STORM ARISES! During a private celebration hosted by Councilmember Ukea, she
announced that her son, Tempest, Master of the Storm, has reached the Age of
Majority. Within the Town of Nexus, the Age of Majority for Humans and
Half-elves is eighteen.
- Shortly after his mother's announcement, Tempest declared the first six
members of the Storm. They are as follow:
- Tempest, Master of the Storm : Gold Half-elf Fighter/Mage/Thief;
- Kalm, Calm Before the Storm : Drow Half-elf Fighter/Mage/Thief;
- Rayne : Aquatic Half-elf, Elemental Mage of Water;
- Fyre : High Half-elf, Elemental Mage of Fire;
- Aerth : Wild Half-elf, Elemental Mage of Earth;
- Wynde : Moon Half-elf, Elemental Mage of Air;
- Thunder : Moon Half-elf, Fighter/Druid.
- When Tempest was asked why he had chosen such a diverse band of
adventurers, he simply smiled and said "If I am the master, must I not
control that which I am proclaimed to be."
- -- MERCENARIES HIRED! The Brotherhood of the Blade, a recently
formed mercenary company, has been contracted by Brzoska Blacksoul the Dark
Mage. The purpose of the company's employment has not been disclosed to
anyone except the Brotherhood's Leadership. However, the Council of Nexus
has surmised that the mercenaries are en route to the Tower of Lost Souls,
which is located on the western border of the Wood of Sharp Teeth. Of the
few intelliggence reports that have filtered back into Nexus, the
Brotherhood of the Blade has been confirmed to be comprised of the
followwing:
- Hobgoblins : 20, Humans : (Fighters : 40, Mages : 20, Clerics : 20,
Thieves : 20), Orcs : 300, Orogs : 80, Drow Elves : 50
- An anonymous, yet reliable, source has verified that the Council of Nexus
is greatly concerned about the mission, composition, and size of the
potentially dangerous enemy.
- -- ADVENTURERS RETURN EMPTY HANDED! Warrant, an adventuring group hired
twelve days ago by Drocca, Curator of Timeless Treasures, has returned
without the magical long sword named Daybreaker, as well as four of its
founding members. The High Half-elfen female who leads the group, as well as
going by the band's name, said that they were overrun by a large force of
orcs returning to the abandoned Drow town. She also commented that the group
will make another attempt to recover the stolen item after a proper period
of rest and healing. When asked if Warrant would be given another chance,
Drocca responded by saying he would extend the courtesy to the group.

- The Year of the Banner

- Waterdeep -- Nightal 12. GYPSIES NOW PERFORMING. There are rumors
that the gypsy band that has been performing in the Market, and at various
other places in the city may be renting space in one of the villas near the
Standing Statue. They are currently staying at the Dripping Dagger, and are
available for shows.
- HALFLINGS REPORTED MISSING! It appears that several halflings may be
missing from the village near Blackrock alley (between the High Road and
Dragon's Way in South district). Rumors varry as to the exact number, but
they seem to include a priestess of the village, as well some children. It
is speculated that the priestess went in search of the children, but no one
will comment.
- WATCHING DOG-TRAINING A TREAT! Those venturing into the snow covered City
(of the Dead) in the late afternoon can usually be treated to the sight of a
very large dog being exercised and trained. {Note: the dog is actually a
wolf, and is a familiar to a witch (male) conjurer. The training involves
some combat training, as well as simple exercise. The witch is careful to
disguise his calling.}
- GRAIN RIOTS CONTINUING! The grain riots continue, and have spread to
include guild establishments, as well as the few independents who seem to
have been the cause of rising grain prices (and bread prices, beer prices,
etc.) The guard has been called in to diffuse a few situations, as have some
teams from the Order. The riots are still mainly concentrated in Dock and
South wards, though some incidents have happened in Trades and Castle wards.
- The Wood of Sharp Teeth : -- 2 Hammer. BOUNTY OFFERED! The Pure, a
racial hate group comprised strictly of humans, has offered a bounty of
5,000 gp and two-tenths share of any treasure found to any human or band of
humans who can produce any tangible evidence proving or disproving that
Drocca, Curator of the Timeless Treasures, is actually a dragon in human
form.
- When Drocca was questioned if he was such a creature, he smiled and
replied by saying, " I am as I stand before ye. One whom has dedicated
one's life to the preserving the histories of past and present cultures
alive by relating their days of yore with words, pictures, and a few magical
spells. Polymorphing myself into a creature involved in the tale is not
uncommon for me since it aids in educating, as well as entertaining, the
young of age and the young of heart. A dragon? Perhaps for the next
festival."
- In a show of support, many of the citizenry of Nexus stood in front of the
Council Building and recited the first paragraph of The Oath of Nexus:
- "This community was built upon the blood, sweat, and tears of those
who have gathered here with their families and friends, hopes and dreams,
fears and doubts. This community will hereby grow and prosper due to its
willingness to accept others regardless of cultural, economic, or social
diversity."
- In a further display of support, the Council of Nexus has issued a bounty
of 500 gp per person upon the successful prosecution of any being accepting
the bounty offered by the Pure, as well as increasing patrols of the
surrounding territory.
- 7 Hammer. MERCHANT CARAVAN AMBUSHED. A merchant caravan returning from the
High Elven town of Hightree was ambushed by an orc hunting party numbering
between 30 and 40 members. According to a surviving passenger, the force of
24 guards that accompanied the caravan were able to inflict considerable
damage against the orcs until a second sizable force of orc warriors
arrived. The orc were able to steal a large portion of the shipment, kidnap
two woman and one male guard, and a magical sword, surnamed Daybreaker, to
be displayed at Timeless Treasures in the town of Nexus.
- 9 Hammer. ADVENTURES HIRED. Drocca, Curator of Timeless Treasures, has
hired a band of seven adventurers calling themselves Warrant to retrieve a
magical sword named Daybreaker from a tribe of Orcs residing in an abandoned
Drow Elf town. The sword was stolen in an ambush two days ago by this tribe
of Orcs and Drocca hopes that they are not smart enough or by accident
discover the magical properties of the blade.
- 15 Hammer. THE COMING STORM. Within the next two days, The Storm, a group
of adventurers that was once led by the founder of the town of Nexus, will
be reformed by Tempest, Master of the Storm, Son of the Founder and
Councilmember Ukea. At the time of this writing, Tempest said the purpose of
the group was to gain experience through adventuring so that they could
weather the upcoming storm that would sweep violently across the known lands
of the realm.
