Revision as of 10:34, 23 February 2019
The current campaign running in Ilisara began on 11/03/18 with two level 1 characters, Jard Stonebrook and Kallix Erendwain. It is called Drums of War.
Drums of War Overview
The world is poised on the edge of a new age. Arth, disembodied after the creation of the Dark Below, has finally found a new host: a young orc from Thes. Isandor's armies march under banners of Vandun and Arth, the gods of shadow and blood, ready to take Hellan after a new eruption from Mok'gram.
Meanwhile, in Hellan, our heroes Kallix and Jard have witnessed a divine event where Selune, Duros and Hejong confronted Vandun for inciting war, improperly seizing Hejong's domain. Selune blessed the pair and they have taken it upon themselves to right the wrong perceptions the Dark Elves hold about Selune. Kallix and Jard encountered desecrated shrines of other gods and goddesses in Thornwall and retrieved a prophecy stone showing Vandun's vision for the world: all of the other gods enslaved or dead, while he ruled in chaos. Jard's sister Sarah was killed.
Kallix and Jard met with Ravielle Riversong, the wood elf leader, and marched to Winterheart where they caused a schism between Vandun-worshippers and Selune-worshippers. This resulted in all-out war. The Vandun-worshippers slaughtered many of the other dark elves.
At this point, the Confederacy stepped in and offered aid to the Selune-worshiping dark elves via Markus Thrain and Asgarion Dawnwalker. The Selune-worshipers, now calling themselves star elves, agreed. They received a seat on the Confederacy. The star elf refugees have moved mostly to the Crescent Islands. The Confederacy's human and sun elf armies marched on Winterheart to clear out the remaining evil dark elves and took heavy casualties, while the dwarven army moved to Hellan's southern border, as reports of an imminent orcish invasion have been circulating.
