An unusual surprise came to Osprey Cove the morning after the storm. On an early dawn walk to appraise the storm’s damage, Elder Johedia stumbled across a gravely wounded man at the edge of town. Suffering from exposure, two infected crossbow bolt wounds, and a strange sickness that left rust-red splotches all over his body, the man gasped an unsettling warning before he died: “Iron Harbor... rust... ship... all dead... before... too late...

The man was dressed in rusted armor and clutched an equally rusted religious symbol of Gorum in one hand. This, and his final words, suggested something dreadful had occurred in the nearby village of Iron Harbor. Osprey Cove’s youngest leader, Elder Ordwi, quickly organized an expedition to make the daylong trip east to Iron Harbor, in order to offer aid as needed but also extend overtures of peace, hopefully bringing an end to the yearslong feud between the two Kindred Coast villages.
