Looking to experience to full Dark Archives storyline!

[Faelyn]

Hey everyone,

As the title says I am looking at finding all the scenarios that continue with the Dark Archives story line with my Investigator; however, I am not really sure where to start at this point and which scenarios follow the story line exactly. Any suggestions or direction where I might be able to find that information would be fantastic! I really want to tailor my scenario selections with this character to fully appreciate the Dark Archive feel.

So far she has participated in:
- The Godsmouth Heresy
- Scions of the Sky Key (I, II, & III)
- School of Spirits

I haven't been able to trace the scenario that begins each of the new Faction storylines... so perhaps that might be the best suggestion to start with?

The Darkive story is kind of hard to follow. The faction is only 2 years old, before that it was the Chelaxian faction.

So you would want to start with the early stuff that featured Zarta Draliene heavily.

Well, The Paths We Choose (#5-99) is the one where the Factions change over from the old to the current ones. You might want to play that one with her.

The Disappeared and its related scenarios go into why Zarta Dralneen is no longer the Chelish ambassador to Absalom. There were a couple of scenarios before that which introduced her enemy who set up the events of The Disappeared, and then there were scenarios that followed it up, showing how she got out of that situation and ended up starting the Darchive, ending with The Paths We Choose.

At first I read that as The Pants We Choose.;)

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I really appreciate the direction. I'll look into all those and begin compiling my list. I love it when you can really get the feel for your faction through certain scenarios.

My research continues!

I would recommend:

First Steps, Part 1: In service to Lore (Tier 1)—admittedly not something your investigator can play anymore, but it's a great glimpse into how Zarta was earlier in her career.

#4–11: The Disappeared (1–5)
#4–13: Fortress of the Nail (5–9), which is a sequel to #4–11

#5–17: Fate of the Fiend (7–11)—a good look at Zarta after the events of Fortress of the Nail
#5–99: The Paths We Choose (3–7)

#6–15: The Overflow Archives (1–5)

[The entire Faithless and Forgotten series, three Tier 1–5 adventures that should be done by March (7–14, 7–16, and 7–18). In fact, I would prioritize this if you're really curious about Zarta Dralneen.]

Thank you, John, for all that great information! I'll have to look over all these and figure out which ones I really would prefer. Unfortunately, I won't be able to fit them all in... Correction! I forgot about Slow Advancement for a moment...
