The sleepy village of Heldren, Taldor, has rarely seen such excitement. Since spring hunters and farmers alike have looked to the nearby Border Wood and speak of the unseasonable and downright unnatural cold weather that now had it's grip on the land despite it being the height of summer. It started a few days ago, a cold snap that seemed to worsen rapidly. Heavy snow followed and those brave enough to go out there have come back talking of an uneasy presence in the woods as well as new, alien and dangerous predators. No one knows what these events mean, or what ever started them but Old Mother Theodora, the town's soothsayer, claims that dark times lie ahead. In the night these dark tidings were heralded by the arrival of badly wounded warrior who claims to be the sole surviving guard of Lady Argentea Malassene. Through his fatigued delirium he told the village council that the Nobel woman and her escorts came under attack by bandits and strange, wintry creatures near the edge of Border Wood. He alone escaped the assault while the Lady Argentea was dragged away into the forest. Now, not long after dawn, the village has taken on a sombre air with villages casting fearful eyes toward the snowy forest. Fearing what could come forth from the woods, the elderly look to their youngers to go out and defend their village.

I will be running this Kingmaker campaign path for the first time next month, I would like to introduce new encounters into the AP. I am currently working on the idea that there is a cult devoted to Gyronna is active in the Stolen Lands, who are seeking to reduce the amount of influence that Brevoy is beginning to exert in the River Kingdoms. I would like this encounter to be separate from the bandits in the area and maybe this cult could continue into the second or third instalment in the adventure. I am mainly fishing for any advice that you fine fellows may have, but will post information as I come up with it. |
