Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

The adventure is called “Ambush at Thunder Stone” and takes place in the Innien campaign setting of Dao Tyr.  The party is a made up of a collection of soldiers – Clockwork Knights, veterans of war. Having served their time, you all have moved into civilian life. That was before the Assault of the Star Spawn. Now, with a new king on the throne and resources spread perilously thin across the kingdom, you are being called back into duty.

“Sir Sciros Kal, Brigadier Captain” (Level  11 elite soldier, male human knight) & “Yrna, Battle Wyrm” (Level 4 artillery, small dragon)

Two scars run down the cheeks of Sir Sciros’ face. At 34, Sciros never thought he would have to face combat again. Aeclyn, his magic sword, was retired as a wall piece above the hearth. Leaving his wife and his one living son, the other was recently killed in the alien assault, Sciros returns to lead a company of Clockwork knights. 

“Sir Tolen Massera, Field Sargent” (Level 10 elite artillery, male human knight)

The brilliant armorer and artificer, and Scrios’ best friend, Tolen is a widower – his wife died of natural causes, three years ago – leaving him to father three girls. Tolen designed his own, top-loading crossbow and wields it with astounding efficacy. A man troubled, Tolen has a secret substance abuse problem with the eldritch drug, cathoid.  

“Ilja, Scout Lieutinent” (Level 9 elite skirmisher, female elven knight)

                Ilja served under Sir Sciors at the Front of Tiamantha 15 years ago and returns as his scout now. She tried being a politician for a few years after her tour of duty – but that did not sit well with her – preferring the forest to the court. She still works temporarily as a diplomat between the strongly allied kingdoms of Theriol and Amis Ali, elfhome.

“Red Stone of the Kodi” (Level 10 elite brute, male half-goliath barbarian) & “Mulmo, Dragon bred War Hound” (Level 4 skirmisher)

The wild card. Red Stone is not a man of Theriol – his home is the Mountains north of the capital. The Kodi were destroyed and Red Stone finds himself without family. He has sworn an oath to the King, but works as a free-agent, not a knight.

They came with out warning. Eight, there were; massive horrors that swept in from the sky…from the stars. Moving with lightning and thunderous energy, the alien horrors swept across the plains of Theriol in the Fall of 1174, a season that will forever be known as the Year of the Star Spawn.
