A couple letters are pinned to the noticeboard by a rather eccentric gnome woman.

To those brave (or foolish) enough to chase history with me I believe I’ve found it.

​

Adventurers of Mournfall,

You know me as Harken ARC field agent, amateur historian, and the one who usually shows up just before something explodes. Today, I come to you not with warnings, but with an invitation.

​

I’ve located what I believe to be the tomb of Ozyndar the Architect of the Kings of Old. Not a king himself, but their builder, their designer, and in some cases, their weapon. While many assumed him to be an elf, recent evidence suggests Ozyndar was in fact a human one who used ritual magic to prolong his life across generations, twisting both body and soul to serve the will of his masters.

​

The Kings used him. Broke him. Buried him. And yet… I think he left something behind.

With funding from ARC (courtesy of the astonishingly wealthy and utterly unqualified Lord Gregory Shawcross), I’ve assembled an expedition to breach the tomb. But I can’t do it alone. The ruins are steeped in forgotten magic, likely warded against intrusion, and if Ozyndar left traps behind…well, he was a genius. The dangerous kind.

This may be the last chance we have to uncover the truth about the Kings' earliest dealings, their descent into darkness, and the rituals that still bind their armies to the Tarot. We may find nothing but dust and bones… or we may find the key to ending this once and for all.

​

So I ask you: Will you walk beside me into a place even the Kings feared to return? Will you help excavate the past, before it buries us completely?

Adventurers of Mournfall,

​

A call to arms for all those who inhabit this land we call home. Gather brave souls, and venture south east with the archeological team to a new site of interest. Harken has discovered a place of great importance and requires more capable hands to secure the site. With your help, we can discover and learn more about this mysterious land and the secrets it holds.

​

Food, water and housing will be provided to adventurers. All items related to the site shall be turned over to Harken and his team for processing. Goods unrelated to the archeological expedition could be considered obtainable goods to participants.

​

Please prepare for a short journey; however, an undetermined duration at site.

Any authentic records found on site and turned in, shall be rewarded by the Frontier Foraging Foundation. Please see Glint or Powder in accordance.

​

Pleased with herself, the gnome turns to the hobbling that is at her side. They both show a thumbs up to each other before scampering off back towards the fort.
