Terror under the Lighthouse

Posted in Lesivith, Niskantel, The Shadow Road on April 4, 2010 by coyoteandthunder

In a grueling campaign, Ary with Tomra and the Dwarven brothers Drom and Thom ventured into the secret lair of the horrible undead lord, Lesivith. Ary learned the secret entrance after revealing council member Damarius as an agent of evil. Lesivith, then known as Thulsa Rex, kidnapped the children of Niskantel over a number of months prior to the discovery by the Scarlet Sorceress. Thom the Dwarf was killed by Lesivith’s subterranean, undead horde and despite even the direct involvement of both Tim and Zarconus the Lightning Dragon, Lesvith escaped to continue in his dark and unknown agenda.

The South Yard and the Assassin

Posted in Niskantel, The Shadow Road on April 4, 2010 by coyoteandthunder

It was in the South Yard, the main outdoor merchant square in Niskantel where Ary founded the first school of magic in Niskantel, called The Diamond Eye.


The Night Calling Witch, Morrigan told Ary of the coming of Tomra, an assassin who would become an invaluable ally.

A tortured soul, Tomra learned a new path from journeying with Ary, a path based not on killing for hire, his mode of living, but rather fighting for a cause greater than his own.

After the Opening of the Shadow Path, Niskantel became a strategic crossroad/gateway town to the Dream Water. The City prospered greatly. The Sherriff expelled the Council of Eagles from Municipal government but retained the Merchant’s council as the officiating, judicial body.
