[i]We begin our campaign in the peaceful times, no real conflict to be had anywhere on global scale, things are as normal as normal can be. But as our Battle Master Velkon has already told us, there is a conspiracy brewing in the Bishop Isles and Ser Velkon has entrusted a fellowship of unlikely heroes to investigate. Shall we have a look at some of them and what they are doing? All they have been told is to meet me in the small town of Thester, a few miles south of the main Kingdom of Alvion. Lets hope these brave but scattered heroes can make it to me.[/i]

The heroes were indeed spread out and although they know the need to make their way to Thester, they know nothing else about the quest.

In [b]Brovan[/b] the market town which is located 40 miles north of Thester in the Alvion Province, two of our heros have already met.
The spellblade [b]Orion[/b] and the Beserker [b]Sinder[/b] have stumbled upon each other in a tavern, after a drink and some conversation they have quickly deduced they are on the same quest to Thester. But sadly this meeting would be cut short, the town of Brovan attracts many nasty types and 3 particularly nasty cut throats have already decided to attack the pair for whatever gold they may have.

[i][b]Oi you two, come outside now, I dont want to get any blood on this lovley tavern floor after I gut you like a pig for all yer gold, come on then lets have it![/b][/i]

Meanwhile  another two of our heroes have  been brought together by a strange twist of fate. The Human [b]Eld Brinna[/b] was deciding to walk to Thester from the Alvion Kingdom while the Dark Wizard [b]'Darknite[/b] was following a contract from the guildmaster back at the kingdom to find and kill a rouge Griffon. This Griffon happened to see Eld and attack him just as Darknite rushed to the scene....

The Half Elf Knight [b]Jericho Kaite[/b] was on a cargo ship that was travelling from Naveroth to Alvion, she managed to get a ride on the ship after saving the merchant captain of the ship from a twisted cultist who was trying to kidnap him for a ritual sacrafice. He invited Kaite up to the deck to thank her, which began a conversation about her motives.

[b][i]So, Jericho Kaite, that is one of the more interesting names I've heard and ive travelled everywhere. Is it a name of Halfling origin by chance? I used to have a halfling shipmate who sadly passed away last week from scurvy, his name was Maite Mellock, I could be mistaken though of the origins.[/i][/b]

The captain scratched his beard and began to speak again as he finished his tankard of ale and poured Kaite a cup.

[b][i]We should be in Alvion in about 4 hours from now, its easily the most attractive of the 4 provinces, what brings you there? I already have seen how well you can fight when you killed that psycho cultist, so perhaps you are making your way to the Alvion Proving grounds? I hear you can make a fortune there.[/i][/b]
