SO IT BEGINS
July 7th | 6:00 AM
Deep within the great viordat plataeu, four experienced adventurers find themselves traveling south along the old scrolls road. Only a few hours from the outskirts of Orius, the oldest, largest, most populous city in the world. It also just happens to be the capitol city of the Kingdom of Isteroth. Home to the "Council of Nobles" as well as a population of over 200,000 people. This is where your meeting with the king is to take place. Only two weeks earlier your party received a letter with the royal seal. An official summons to see the king himself. The letter sounded urgent, not to mention mandatory. And only two days away from the kingdoms 2000th anniversary.
The light of the sun barely begins to shine over the horizon. It's hazy orange sunrise illuminate a small caravan of nine people. Four of which being our party of heroes. Hired as mercenaries to protect a rich merchant, his wife and two kids as they travel towards the capitol. No one travels across country alone anymore. Not with how chaotic things have become throughout the empire. Bandits, wolves and all manner of monstrous creatures infesting the tameless wilderness. You have been taking shifts guarding and driving the rather large carriage and its two horses.
The wealthy merchant family of five snoozing away inside the carriage while you four, the hired escorts, are forced to endure the outdoors. You rested for a few hours during the night after a nonstop eight hour push from a small village to the north. However, now that you have broken camp the lot of you continue south. But don't worry, this wealthy merchant offered a hefty payment for your efforts. As you continue down the dry dusty road you scan the area and see a nothing but a flat dusty land dotted with large boulders and the occasional tree. You travel another three miles before looking to the west, you notice a massive red cloud towering into the sky rushing towards you. Only a few miles away, clearly a violent sand storm
Keep In Mind
The four of you have been together taking part in various adventures for over a year. You know each other fairly well at this point and consider yourselves close friends...
