Souls for a Devil

Game Master Tordek Rumnaheim

In Game Date: 21 Lamashan 4711

In Abadius 4707, a young local girl named Cerpera was unconscious next to the White Prince's Fountain in the village of Sirathu in eastern Varisia. Amazingly, pouring forth from the previously barren fountain was water so pure it rejected even the dust in the air. The girl was changed also. She alternated between a child's voice and a deep, disembodied voice that prophesized that change was in the air. She praised Pharasma and urged her fellow villagers to rise up against Korvosa before it was too late. Word of the Miracle at the Font spread, and many made the pilgrimage to see Pharasma's child perform her miracles with water.*

Nadru Pieresiff, was last seen on the 1st of Lamashan, 4711 watching Cerpera walk across the fountains water. He has not been seen since. Nadru's father, Vadan Pieresiff, a minor noble in Korvosa is looking for adventurers to find out what has happened to Nadru. Are you willing to answer the call?

Other notes about the campaign:

Set in Golarion near the end of 4711.

This is a homebrew adventure and I have defined the starting point and the possible end but everything else in between has been left blank. I hope to develop it organically together.

It will be a mixture of investigation and monster bashing and may not confine itself to only Varisia.
