I sort of thought of Stephen King's "It" a bit; similar in that the previous adventures are a prologue to the upcoming plot. But having the characters as older and influential in Dara, as rulers, means that they inherit the mantle and have to make big decisions as well. I felt like a break from having village kids pick up swords.

Although there is some appeal to a bunch of idiot kids trying their hand at adventure and failing horribly.
