Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

(Above, from left to right): Glory, Kothus, Kyfthi and Virene

The continued quest of the Scouting Party of the Ivory Castle to discover why there has been no word for months from the elves of Indryon and no word from Emrhaster Keep. Following the destruction of the Thing at Ollon Henge, the Scouting party from Ivory Castle awoke after to the wonder of the procession of the Mistveil Queen, Venestra the archfay. Venestra informed them that the sorcerer Daiomen summoned the Thing at the Henge and designed the illusion to trap would-be heroes after capturing the druids who had stewarded the holy site. One of those druids was Thaylin, Virene’s cousin. Venestra informs them that Daiomen can be found at an abandoned church of the Raven Queen in the deep forest north of the Henge. Venestra departs but not before naming Kothus, the Offworlder, a title that carries prophetic portend. The gnomish oni, Korior says to Kyfthi: “I know who you are. I want to help you. I can show you how to open gates to your home world so that you may know how to close them.” And gifts the young shadar kai a dark night key.

At night, Glory takes to the sky on her broom and locates the church but is pursued by the dreaded burbling Jabberwok and barely escapes an end inside its terrible maw. At the old church, an illusory waterfall of gold is revealed as a howling well, and a wraith and dead knight guard battle the adventurers to the demise of both. Virene is wounded again. Descending the dark stairs they enter a narrow hall of some forgotten tomb.
