Adventure Background and Notes

[attriel]

This thread is intended for party background and adventure notes. It's an easy place to write things down so you don't have to scroll through 5 threads of 50 pages to figure out "didn't someone say something about the undead?" Anything you think might be relevant information at a later date, feel free to make a note here. Any player in the adventure can post notes, so if Murgos thinks something is relevant, he doesn't have to talk anyone else into noting it. He can just write it down.

I'll also make notes occasionally, primarily at the end of an adventure or arc.

From what Althaea recalls, the Silvals were another honorbound group who stood as the first line of defense during the Second Orc War, and again in the Third Orc War. They were wiped out to a man when the Orcs overtook the walls and destroyed their castle from within. When the Orcs were stopped, the Silval lands were written off as 'too defiled to recover,' and have lain un-claimed by Dikansi in the intervening two hundred years.



Fia also considers the Silvals, and recalls that they were said to have a number of magical weapons. One of the favoured sons had been a weapon smith, before the Orc Wars.

As for the wars, Fia believes there to have been 6 "named" wars, with numerous skirmishes and uncounted encounters over the years.

Timeline:
723-725 - The Orc War
750-755 - The Second Orc War
800-825 - The Third Orc War
900-902 - The Fourth Orc War
915-915 - The Fifth Orc War
963-966 - The Sixth Orc War
1025 - Current Day

Many people, including the former Duke of Dikansi, she knows, believe the Orcs to have been finally routed. Many others believe that there will be a Seventh Orc War, and it may be soon ...

In one of your early adventures, you were sent to find an ancient relic in a long-abandoned crypt. As you fled the building, it collapsed behind you from a trap laid long ago by a priest-rogue to keep the relic you were sent for from being removed.

The relic was lost on your way out, somewhere amidst the debris.

In addendum to Atty's post above, we're wanted by a group of warforged for the actions he mentioned, whether accidental or not. We have a bit of a lead on the warforged, but we should skedaddle to where we're going before they found out it was their quarry on the road that they met and double back to nab us.
