So I was looking for a means of connecting characters from previous campaigns together to bring into Golarion and this is what I came up with using a town and it's surrounding landscape. I posted it on Reddit and got zero feedback. I'm interested in thoughts and concerns or comments.
Journey Town
There once was a Mage named Corvus and a Sorceress named Sileena. They both were once adventurers in a land torn apart by a Tarrasque. Due to a conflict of interest in the management of their small but growing town the two had a powerful battle right where that set of statues is between the famous Outsider Inn and the Arena. See Sileena had some kind of fire blood and a minion who was probably more made of stone than flesh, and Corvus had a pet Behir. Spells flew, buildings caught fire, lightning crashed down, and the other fellows of their party spent the whole battle trying to keep the refugees safe from the battle. When the dust settled the Behir had been turned to stone and the others had all died in the fight. As a memorial to the good they had accomplished before such a wasteful power struggle their compatriots paid the refugees to construct that memorial. They also laid out sketches for a wall and roads and sections of the city for the refugees to start working on so they could begin living there. The party then headed off to fight the Tarrasque. They never returned.
Now, a few years passed and the folk that use to run the Outsider Inn had become the de-facto leadership and were becoming increasingly worried that the Tarrasque would be heading their direction at some point and they had no idea what to do about it. As it turns out Corvus’ wizard tower was considered haunted and the townsfolk never went near it, so it was extremely surprising when a tall man in wizard robes and a missing pinky came out of the tower with a rather large group of companions. They apologized for disturbing the townsfolk and requested the assistance of a powerful Cleric to resurrect an elf in their party. About a week after that the group, who were quite knowledgeable and experienced said they needed to be on their way. They gathered around the memorial, joined hands and this Wizard casted some spell and POOF everything went black for everyone in town. When we awoke, because everyone I could see was laying on the ground, the sky was different than it had been and the Wizard and his friends were still there, but whatever he was holding to cast his spell had shattered.
That is the story of how Archmage Conrad and the Hands of Justice Adventuring Company came to rule our fair city. See ever since then the city moves, between planes and worlds. I’ve been here since the beginning, I watched the wizard battle at the start. For the past decade this town and a large chunk of the surrounding land shift. We don’t know if the Archmage is controlling it or if the magic just got stuck, but either way we move. I’ve seen it as short as seven days or long as two years.
