Quest 2: Group 1
| |
According to legends, beneath Lake Calenhad rests an ancient magic of such power that it made the Tevinter Empire tremble. They invaded, and the battles that followed were so bloody and manifold, that for hundreds of years the site was thought to be cursed. But the Tevinters did not carry this magical artifact away, instead they hid it, safely, not to be disturbed lest it could be used against them. Legend has many suggestions about what this item is: in the east it is described as a silver shield that can repel any magic cast at its bearer, in Amaranthine there is an old man at one of the inns who swears it was a crown of pure gold, set with diamonds and rubies, and the mage that wore it would find his powers increased a hundred times. Some say it’s a weapon, others that it’s a piece of armor, but what is most certain is that it has rested untouched - but not forgotten - where the Tevinters hid it so long ago. Until now. For years the protection of the nearby Kinloch hold, not to mention the town of Redcliffe, has kept treasure hunters and hopefuls at bay, even though the legends of the place has travelled wide. Alistair, the Commander of the Grey in Ferelden, has recently learned how wide. A spy in Orlais reported that the Empress has sent out men to look for the artifact, as she fears magic, and would do anything to control mages. While the Warden-Commander is not a superstitious man, he is practical and realizes that if this artifact does indeed exist, the Order cannot leave it to be found by the Empress. It must be found, and then hidden again somewhere else. Knowing something must be done, he picks a group of Wardens and companions to carry out this task in secrecy. The group will depart from Amaranthine on the 6th of Matrinalis for Lake Calanhad. They will arrive on the 12th of Matrinalis. The party members are as follows: Wardens: Lalin Adain Emil Asmundr Conlan Delaine Declan Gallagher Companions: Sabine Archambault Caius Dukas Falon Laughley Azabeth Kordura Black Matthew Eligia Milagros Lucressia Peron Lillie Tharelle Elsa Zerbino Vargas Brennan Wulfe Lee Wyland OOC NOTES: The group will be led by Jo and Niki, through Emil and Declan. In order to keep the plot continuously in motion, the mod characters will post once a week. We ask that the players post a minimum of once per every activity period, in order to keep up with the advancing plot. Once everyone has posted, a mod will post again to move the plot forward. Watch this post for updates and to keep track of information that is happening in the group. |
