	~~Under Construction~~
			== The Fang Hunter’s Deal ==
			This tale begins in the walled city of '''[[Castlemere]]''', nestled on the edge of the '''[[Dominion Forest]]''' where the '''Calim River''' meets the '''Shining Sea'''. The city is ruled and protected by the [[Crimson Empress Narri Castlereagh\|'''Crimson Empress''' '''Narri Castlereagh''']], a powerful archmage who commands from her citadel atop a central hill. She is guarded by her personal legion, the '''[[Vermilion Guard]]''', who keep strict order within the city.

			At the '''[[Castlemere\|Drunken Monk]]''', a bustling local tavern, three adventurers—'''Dumas''', '''Fabian''', and '''Lynx-O'''—are recruited by '''Krozzu''', a white Dragonborn and leader of the '''[[Fang Hunters]]'''. He hires them to hunt down a witch who betrayed his group. Krozzu provides the location of her cabin within the city walls.

			Upon reaching the cabin, the party discovers a hidden passage leading into the '''[[Cobalt Caverns]]''', a dungeon beneath the city. They navigate through dangerous traps and confront '''[[Primrose Blackwood]]''', the witch in question. Before her defeat, she summons a '''Barlgura fiend''', which the party slays. After the battle, they return to the '''Drunken Monk''' and settle their debt with Krozzu. As they leave, they encounter a blacked-out carriage drawn by skeletal horses.

			== The Sapphire Heist ==
			The party is then hired by '''[[Castlemere\|Adler Trading]]''' to recover a stolen '''Sapphire Scepter''' from a band of minotaur's. The night before their journey, they thwart a robbery at the tavern. The next morning, they meet their guide, '''Quil''', who leads them into the '''Calim Desert'''. At an outpost, they find the minotaur's slain and a horde of sapphires. A battle with '''Yrrim''', a blue dragon, ensues. After victory, they recover the scepter and return to '''Castlemere'''.
			----

			== Whispers in the Walls ==
			'''Quil''' is assassinated by '''[[Cassandra Adler\|Alder]]''', who is revealed to be a '''[[Raven Lords\|Raven Lord]]''' agent. As thanks, the party receives a cottage within the city walls. Upon arrival, they find it occupied by the '''[[Green Knuckle Gang]]'''. After “evicting” them, they find a note in Deep Speech:<blockquote>“No witnesses in square, to be released at the darkest hour.”</blockquote>While exploring their new home, they uncover another passage to the '''[[Cobalt Caverns]]''', where they discover '''[[Lady Arronal]]''', a weakened warlock and former Raven Lord. Defeating her grants them an '''amulet''' granting deeper access into the dungeon.

			They begin forming a '''mercenary guild''', renting the '''Drunken Monk’s''' second floor and staffing the cottage. Soon after, '''Cassandra Adler''' arrives, warning that '''Xanathar''' is trying to take over the '''[[Dreammist]]''' trade. She asks the party to investigate a Dreammist den in the caverns.

			They discover a macabre party scene with skeletons and a unicorn, and two '''Mind Flayers''' extracting Dreammist from captives. After defeating them, the party welcomes '''Odo''', a Dragonborn and old friend of '''Fabian'''.
			----

			== Secrets Beneath the City ==
			Investigating the '''Deep Speech''' message, the party performs in the city square but finds no clues. They instead delve further into the caverns and discover a hidden mausoleum where the '''[[Raven Seer\|Raven Seers]]''' hide '''[[Ravencrest\|Lou Ravencrest]]''', last of the royal line. The party defeats the Seers and escorts Lou toward the city gates, encountering '''[[Vermilion Guard\|Vermilion Guards]]''' outside their home.

			'''Dumas''', '''Toedd''', and '''Fabian''' are arrested; '''Lynx-O''' and '''Lou''' fly to the gates where '''Alder''', revealed to be working for the Empress, brings them to the citadel. All are summoned before '''Empress Castlereagh''', who reveals herself as a former Raven Lord who deposed the '''Ravencrest''' monarchy. She tasks the party with investigating the chaos in the city.
			----

			== Chimera in the Square ==
			Following leads, they witness '''Drow''' summoning a '''Chimera''' in the city square. After the battle, they are ambushed by '''Cambions''' and a '''Chain Devil'''. The '''[[Order of Lotus\|Lotus Knights]]''' arrive and ask for aid in investigating '''[[Blackwing Assassins]]''', believed to be hiding in the '''[[Dominion Forest\|Cindershield Pyramid]]'''.

			While preparing to depart, they meet '''Quinn''', searching for his brother '''Quil'''. They claim ignorance of his fate. Before leaving, '''Dumas''' disappears, prompting '''Fabian''' to stay and search while the rest investigate the Pyramid.
			----

			== The Pyramid of Ashes ==
			At the '''Cindershield''', the party finds it looted but faces a '''Chardalyn Dragon'''. In the brutal battle, '''Toedd''' and '''Zorin''' fall. '''Odo''' and '''Lynx-O''' carry their bodies through a growing '''dark mist''' in the forest. They find a hut that is much larger on the inside, where three elven hags care for '''Dumas'''.

			Meanwhile, '''Fabian''' is killed by '''Matilda''', a deadly elven assassin. The hags claim they saved '''Dumas''' and offer escape—but for a price. '''Odo''', realizing the truth, '''sacrifices himself''' to let '''Dumas''' and '''Lynx-O''' escape.
			----

			== East of the Sword Coast ==
			Back at the '''Drunken Monk''', '''Alder''' warns the group that '''Blackwing''' is hunting them. She offers passage east, away from the '''Sword Coast'''. On the voyage, they are joined by '''Ulfhir''', a blood hunter hired for protection. At sea, they are attacked by a '''Kraken''', and later, a great '''shark''', becoming lost until landing on '''Elfharrow''', a desolate land east of '''Castlemere'''.

			They encounter a band of marauders who serve a mysterious "'''Warlord'''". In the settlement of '''Lu-Syria''', they meet a wizard named '''Hoinn''' and learn the nomads are being forced to build a '''tower''' in the ruins of '''Eldermoor'''.
			----

			== The Warlord’s Game ==
			The party heads to the tower, disguising themselves among the laborers. '''Hoinn''' and '''Dumas''' investigate a '''teleportation circle'''; '''Ulfhir''' gathers intel on the Warlord’s operations. Strange '''demonic symbols''' abound. Suddenly, '''Quinn''' and a massive man in black armor—"'''Kid Death'''"—arrive, revealing they’ve hired '''Blackwing''' to avenge '''Quil'''.

			After defeating them, the party is ambushed again—'''Isaac Grimfang''', the Warlord, appears. Initially offering a '''duel of wits''', he attacks after failing a simple riddle. The battle crashes into a lava-filled chamber where '''Isaac''' is revealed to be an '''Ultroloth''', a powerful outsider from '''Realmspace'''.
			----

			== Letters and Legacies ==
			Triumphant, the party rests in the tower before an '''airship''' descends. Onboard is '''Matilda''', who reads royal proclamations:<blockquote>“Ordered by Victoria Greycastle Commander of the Vermillion Guard at the command of the Crimson Empress. We are charged with to either bring you back to Castlemere and/or any destination which you find satisfactory”

			“Sir Ulfir as agreed your payment has been deposited into a trust with the Sword Coast Traders Bank at the sum of 10,000gp, and lines of credit have been extended to you by the Crimson Empress in Castlemere”

			“Hoinn for having liberated Eldermoor, our Orders birthplace, you are hereby accepted into the Order of the Lotus with the rank of Field Marshal, with standing orders to head north toward Zhentil Keep and expand the Order in that region.”

			“Lynx-O and Dumas you have been given these letters of introduction and lines of credit by the Order of the Lotus, these letters will grant you access to any of our keeps and towers throughout Faerun.”</blockquote>With '''Blackwing''' contracts terminated, '''Eldermoor''' liberated, and their futures secured, the adventurers stand at the edge of a new chapter—'''free to shape their destinies once more.'''
