Where Light Fears To Tread
You brave PCs, Are denizens of the isle of Bizantium
Although you are of varied ethnic and racial ancestry, and and the vast majority of individuals in Bizantium are human, your families were honored for a history of charitable and munificent actions aiding the isle and the crown
Recently a guild known as the Heart Of Steel, a ancient order of scholars, mystics, and adventurers who were among the founders of bizantium, has placed a call to anyone willing to undertake a expedition of immense danger and intrigue but also immeasurable wealth,
To lead a successful foray into the land of the damned
100 yes ago Octavian Zend lead a 30 men group in the first manned attempt at entering the chaos lands through the northern mountains of the great northern wilderness
Of the 30 who undertook this mission, none returned..... the only thing to return was the mutilated and severed head of Octavian,
His very eyes had been burned out and replaced with glowing emeralds,
this legend has been buried in mists of time and now what is truth has become increasingly obfuscated by conjecture
The severed head was reportedly returned by Octavian's son Augustus who is reported to have been driven insane by his father's loss and now lives as a recluse near the northern mountains
The Heart Of Steel is publicly offering a monetary reward in excess of a million platinum coins, however the scuttlebutt on the street also speaks of nobility, tithes, and large tracts of land being offered to those who successfully enter the chaos lands and return alive
Darker stories tell of a scrying dish that Octavian carried into the chaos lands that the royal crown of bizantium now desperately seeks to retrieve, and this renewed interest seems to have only recently been rekindled in the past few days after having been virtually ignored for years
Those stories that have found their way from the lord's palace speak of dark shadows, ungodly horrors, and most intriguingly 5 ancient armors that lay dormant covered in time and darkness, and a scrying dish in the palace suddenly transmitting evil images beyond comprehension
No one knows what lays ahead
The land of there damned, the chaos lands beckon you forward brave adventurer
But beware, for a dark wind is blowing......
