Province of the Eastern Isles

The Eastern Isles are a small group of islands

in the northern hemisphere of Ur. The

islands make up the eastern-most province of

the Kingdom of the Three Horns which spans

the entire continent of Terramusia.

Terramusia is naturally divided into three

regions (horns) separated by two mountain

ranges. Power rests with the three lords of

these areas who are known as the Three

Horns by which the Kingdom derives its

name. Terramusia is a diverse land, but

political power rests primarily with the

dwarves and humans. Two of the Horns are

dwarf lords – Vorn of the Black Iron Clan

controls the Eastern Horn and Kork

Silverspark the Western Horn. Mattis

Jorginson, a human, is the ruler of the Central

Horn and current king of Terramusia.

Inis Adhar (Sky Island)

The Eastern Isles are governed by Mattis’

cousin the Jarl Kendrick Jorginson. The seat

of power in the Eastern Isles is the port city

of Stovikstad. A great walled city located on

the main land mass Inis Adhar. Stovikstad,

while remote, is a fairly cosmopolitan city and

serves as a major port for spice trade. It has a

population of over 6,000. In addition to the

government seat of Stovikstad, Inis Adhar is

home to several other settlements and

strongholds.

Fiskarstad is a smaller city to the west of

Stovikstad. It also has a deep water cove and

serves as a major fishing port. Fiskarstad is a

fairly wealthy city and serves as one of the key

exporters of copper in the Kingdom – the

result of the rich mines of the Grisrygg

Mountains (the literal translation in the

common tongue is the Pig’s Spine). The city

has a population of 3,000 with another few

hundred people living on farms and in mining

camps just outside the city limits.

The municipalities in the province are each

run by a Stallerad which is a council of three

officials – one appointed by the Jarl, one

appointed by the municipality’s merchant

guild, and one elected by the citizens.

In between these two major cities is the small

community of Finstalle. Originally established

3


as a fishing village, Finstalle has grown into a

bustling town of 700. Most of the inhabitants

earn their living working the land around the

town which is home to acres and acres of

grape vines and apple orchards. Finstalle is

known throughout the Three Horns as the

producer of the finest wines and ciders in the

Kingdom. As a result it is also home to more

than its fair share of taverns.

The major settlements on the island tend to

be along the coast. There are some minor

villages inland, but the center of the island is

dominated by the Dimmatrad (the Mist

Forrest). While some logging is done here,

the Dimmatrad is a dense, ancient forest

teaming with game as well some “more

aggressive” beasts.

Directly north of the provincial seat is the

town of Adalstalle. Adalstalle also maintains

an active fishing industry, but they are known

for their excellent linen and wools. Adalstalle

and Finstalle are fairly comparable in size,

each with a population of just over 700.

Finstalle is also home to a large population of

halflings who primarily work as spice and

textile traders.

Travelling north from Adalstalle you will

reach Norraskold. Norraskold (translated

from the dwarvish to the common tongue as

the North Shield) is the original dwarven

stronghold established on the island. The

castle is home to many excellent dwarven

smiths and a contingent of 60 dwarf soldiers

of the Black Iron Clan are barracked at

Norraskold. They are led by Vorn’s youngest

brother, Rothgar. Just to the west of the

North Shield is the dwarven city of

Skagigskad. It has a population of about

2,000. On the outskirts of the city are many

rich clay deposits and as a result the city

produces excellent pottery. To the west of

Skagigskad in the stronghold Vitskold (The

White Shield). Virskold serves as a base of

operations for the few elves who live within

the Province. Their presence on the island is

a gesture of goodwill from the Elf King

Tathar the Wise. Vitskold, referred to in

elvish as Qaleat Allu (the Fortress of Pearls) is

home to 50 elf warriors along with a

contingent of elf diplomats and druids. The

Fortress is run by Oberloft of the

Greengroves. Oberloft is a very old and

accomplished warrior who was given the

oversight of Vitskold in recognition of his

years of service to Tathar. He is wellrespected

by the dwarves on the island.

Oberloft has a scar that runs from his left ear

down his face and across his jaw. He received

the injury in a battle defending the young son

of a local merchant. An owlbear ventured out

of the Dimmatrad and Oberloft killed it

singlehandedly and saved the child. Oberloft

also holds the honorary title of Friend

Protector which was bestowed upon him by

the Jarl after the slaying of the owlbear.

The western part of the island is separated by

the Pig’s Spine and the Skuggalund (Shadow

Woods). In the untamed areas of the island

live thousands of orcs, goblins and gnagare (a

race of rodentfolk). They maintain a

stronghold in the area and they have been

united (some would say subjugated) under the

Benkrossem (Bone Crusher Clan),

pronounced in orcish as the Kost Prasek.

They are led by the orc Chieftain Shug. This

area is also home to the oldest structure on

the island, Villingarna (the Twin Spires).

Originally a fortress, it was abandoned after

the Goblin Wars of the First Age of Mordu

and then later served as a stronghold for a

demon cult until the cult collapsed after an

internal dispute among its leaders. However,

rumors are spreading that the spires have

been rebuilt and the fortress is again occupied.

Inis Lacha (Duck Island)

Just off the bay across from Stovikstad is the

long, narrow Inis Lachcha. The village of

Soligtstalle sits on the southwestern end of

the island. It is a quiet village of fisherman

and sailors,

Inis Amadan (Fool’s Island)

To the east of the main island is Inis Amadan

– Fool’s Island in the common tongue. A

rocky little patch of dirt, it got its name from

the famous dwarf explorer Gunnar

Strongbeak who decided to build a keep on

the island to serve also as a lighthouse for

those approaching Inis Adhar. He was called

a fool as the barren island would require all

resources to be brought from the mainland.

Undeterred, Gunnar built a single strong

tower-keep which still stands today.

Magerskold (the Skinny Shield) is an

impressive granite tower. A small contingent

of dwarves from Norraskold maintain the

keep and lighthouse at all times.

finding the gang’s secret base and putting a

stop to it.

Inis Donn (Brown Island)

Inis Donn is a remote island at the southwest

end of the Muir Bainne, the island was home

to a small mining operation for many years

after iron deposits were found, but when the

deposits ran cold the operation stopped and

the island was abandoned, considered too

remote and without a deep port.

Inis Bara (Bread Island)

Inis Bara is a small, oddly-shaped island off

the coast of Inis Sith. Its odd shape with

three jutting peninsulas creates unusual

currents around the island that wash up large

deposits of a local seaweed called hexahar

(dwarvish for witch hair). Hexahar is an

excellent fertilizer and as a result a few large

farms operate on this island. Additionally,

The Muir Bainne (the Milky Sea)

Separating Inis Amadan from the majority of

the other islands is the Muir Bainne (the Milky

Sea). Strong currents and good weather

characterize the Muir Bainne and it is a

preferred travel route of trade between the

kingdoms of Ur. This benefits the Eastern

Province with many visitors and access to a

wide variety of goods. It also, however,

means the area is ripe for piracy and

smuggling. The Jarl maintains a small fleet in

the area, but merchants are expected to

protect their own vessels. Recently there have

been reports of a piracy and slaving ring

operating in the area. Merchants tell of long

black ships manned by a band of human

thugs, orcs, half-orcs, and goblins who have

formed an underground slaving operation.

While the Three Horns have outlawed slavery,

the southern continent of Antorga has not

and the price is good for slaves there. The

Jarl has written to the King for assistance in

5


hexahar can be dried and crushed into a

powder that when mixed with goat’s milk and

silver dust has medicinal qualities which can

counteract most poisons. It is renowned for

its horrible taste which accounts for a local

saying about being careful, “Se upp för ormar

dricka get gult vatten!” which translates

loosely in the common tongue to, “Watch

out for snakes or you’ll be drinking goat piss!”

Inis Sith (Peaceful Island)

Inis Sith is a beautiful island in the Eastern

Isles chain. It has bucolic rolling green

meadows dotted with farmsteads, and a

healthy forest of fir, oak, and elm trees called

the Snigelund (Snail Woods). The population

of the island is about 600 in total who live

throughout the island; a deep water port has

also resulted in the growth of a town center,

Valstalle (Whaler Town). This is a whaling

port. The hearty citizens of Valstalle are out

at sea for many months on whaling ships

hunting two local breeds, the blue ridgeback

and the tiger whale. Both are known for their

rich oil. However, the tiger whale is also

prized for its bones, which are crushed into a

fine powder and mixed with water from the

Pool of Heleran. The pool, a natural spring, is

famous across Ur. The water is said to have

special healing qualities and when mixed with

the tiger shark bones and several other

ingredients the qualities are enhanced and

produce excellent healing potions. A few

local merchants have their own secret recipes

which produce varying qualities of the elixir.

It is also believed that bathing in the Heleran

can transform a person’s mind and body and

visitors come regularly to the island to pay

well for the opportunity, which has benefited

the island greatly. A pilgrimage house has built

up next to the Heleran where visitors can stay,

receive healing treatments, and spend a few

more coins on the island.

The island is also the location of the castle

Vatskold (The Wet Shield) which sits on the

northeast peninsula of the island. Vatskold

and the entire island are governed by Ultan

Dunnfall. Ultan holds the title of High

Margrave, a title reserved for lord’s who were

not born into nobility but earned their rank

through valor in service of the king. Ultan

was a commander in the Three Horn’s Royal

Legion and led his troops to a great victory

over the hill giants at the Battle of the

Lillablommer Plateau in the Western Horn.

As a reward, Ultan was given the title of High

Margrave and sent to the Eastern Isles in

service of the Jarl who gave him Inis Sith and

command of the Vatskold. The Vatskold is

home to 50 human soldiers as well as a group

of elite fighters known as the Knights of the

Silverpaw. It also houses one of the main

church seats in the Eastern Isles, the Church

of Valkur, god of the sea. Additionally,

Ultan’s wife practices the magical arts and she

has established a small school at the castle

which is led by the wizard Abelthor the

Green. To get to the Vatskold by land across

the island people must traverse the Skolpadda

River which requires passing through the

Lion’s Gate, a large drawbridge guarded by

the troops of the Vatskold.

The Adventure Hook

You have booked passage on the H.M.S.

Umber Hulk traveling to Volstalle. You are

going there to seek work to fund your next

exploration adventure. While on board the

Umber Hulk you befriend the High

Margrave’s daughter

Glinda. Glinda, who

is eight months

pregnant, is

returning from a trip

to the mainland city

of Segerstad, which

is home to the main

training hall for the

Dodpinnes (Death

Sticks) the King’s

royal mounted

archers. Her husband is a captain with the

Dodpinnes. Glinda was being escorted by her

aunt, the Dauphine Helga Jorginson, wife of

the youngest brother of the King, Thad, and

sister to Glinda’s mother, the Lady Freya

Dunnfall. Glinda has promised to introduce

you all to her father upon arrival to Inis Sith.

However, as the Umber Hulk entered the

Muir Bainne in the early hours of the morning

just before sunrise, the ship was attacked.

You were all asleep on the lower decks when

Chapter 1|Escape from the

Goblin’s Chair

There are three cages. Your adventuring party

is in one of them. Next to you in the adjacent

cage you see three dwarves that you recognize

from the ship, one is lying on the ground not

moving with an open head wound. There are

also two halflings who, by the sorry looks of

them, have been here for a while. In the far

cage you see Helga and Glinda. A large orc

sits on a stool just outside their cage. The sun

is setting and most of the other slave traders

the ship began to list violently. You were all

thrown to the other side of the cabin – with

wood and beams collapsing around you, all

went black. When you awoke you were

staring up at the blue sky lying on your backs

in rough brown sand, your only possessions

the clothes on your backs. As things came

into focus you realized your view of the sky

was partially obscured

by iron bars. You

looked around to see

that you were in a cage.

Near you were several

other cages all holding

prisoners similar to

you. Beyond the cages

you could see a

palisade wall of rough

timber as well as

several buildings.

Milling about to and fro were an unsavory

group of characters – orcs, goblins, half-orcs,

and men. You flashed back to the stories of

the sailors on the boat and realize what has

happened; you have been captured by the

Kafa Koparma (goblin for Head Snatchers)

the slave traders operating from a secret base

in the Muir Bainne. This is not, you thought,

how you planned to spend your trip to the

Eastern Isles!

seem to be heading into the main building in

the center of the octagonal fort. A guard

tower stands next to the building and rises 20

feet in the air with a ladder leading to its

perch. Three goblins are sitting on top

holding crossbows and talking. Across the

open area near the main gate is another small

building; through an open window you see

movement inside that building. The main

gate is open and through it you can see a small

dock with several rowboats attached. In the

distance you make out a larger long boat

which is moored in the harbor. As you look

around, another orc walks up to the one

sitting on the stool, grunts, and the sitting orc

stands and hands the other orc a ring of keys

7


and walks away towards the main building.

The new orc sits and throws a small sack on

the ground, as it lands the bag opens and you

see the set of keys inside along with what

looks like a large moldy hunk of cheese and a

loaf of bread. Your eyes meet with Helga and

Glinda and you see their fear and silent plea

for help. As the sun falls and the fort is cast

in the shadows of a few torches you hear the

orc guard start to snore loudly.

Chapter 2|

The Village of Volstalle

Volstalle is the Inis Sith center for commerce

and trade. A whaling port town, it houses

merchant offices, shops, homes, and a warm

inn and jaunty tavern. Between trade stops by

vessels and pilgrims visiting Heleran, Volstalle

is always a bustling little town.

[A] Captain Hastwick’s Home

The main house is a two-story stone building

with a thatched roof. It has a small porch

covering the main entrance. The yard contains

three small outbuildings. These are storage

buildings, one stores fishing and whaling gear,

another is organized as a small study with

books and a desk and various sea-themed

trinkets; the third building is a gardening shed.

A one story stucco structure (the First Mate’s

House) and another stucco building (Sailors

Quarters) are on the property.

“Good day

friends, I

am Henry

Hastwick

the captain

of the

whaling

vessel the

Fey Queen. I am a life-long sailor and I have

been running boats out of Volstalle for the

past 20 years starting when this was little more

than a fishing village. I immigrated from

Terramusia after saving money for me own

ship. I live here with my wife Helene. My

First Mate, Sebastian Gordon, and his wife,

Martha, live in a second house on the

property and I also maintain a sailors cottage

where I have four fulltime sailors living now,”

Henry provides.

Quest: Supply Run. Henry continues, “Say, I

wonder if you could help me pick up supplies.

I leave tomorrow for a two week stint at sea.

I am running behind and needs help picking

up my supplies from the shops in town. I can

offer you 10 gold to take my wagon and

deliver the supplies to the Fey Queen

tonight.”

[B] Stallrad Hall and Garda

The Stallrad is a three

member council that

governs each town in the

Eastern Isles. A Stallrad is

made up of one person

appointed by the Jarl, one

person appointed by the

local merchants’ guild, and

one person elected by the

citizens. The Stallrad

manages the day to day

affairs of the town, ensures

the collection of taxes, and

settles disputes when needed. The Stallrad in

Volstalle consist of Bromvar Oakchest, a

dwarf and retired whaling captain, Colter

Westwind, a part owner of a local spice

8


importing guild, and Nan Oberon, the widow

of another sea captain who left Nan quite a

bit of coin. The building also houses the local

constabulary – the Garda. The Captain of the

police – called the Barr Garda – is a dwarf

named Finbar Hooktoe. There are six Garda

who work in shifts of two around the clock

and patrol the Volstalle streets.

Quest: Collect a payment for Nan. Nan

coos, “Well you folks came along just in time!

I could use some help from a no-nonsense

crew like yourselves. Red Fleetfoot, that

deadbeat, owes me 60 gold. He took the loan

no problem but now he refuses to pay me

back. Red can usually be found at a seedy bar

outside of town called the Hogsweat Publick

House. Tell ya what…I will split the payment

with you if you can collect it from Red.”

Quest: Per-diem Garda. Finbar states, “Old

Finbar’s in a bind my friends. Four of my 6

full time guards drank bad cider and are sick

as dogs. I have no one to patrol the town

tomorrow night. I can offer you 5 gold each

to take the job.”

[C] The Town Gossip

On this parcel are three well-kept stucco

houses with freshly thatched roofs. Clearly

these are houses belonging to upper middleclass

citizens. In the day time one is almost

certain to run across Jorginna Hornswaggle,

the local town gossip, tending to her flowers.

“Nan Oberon knows all about the slave

traders operating in the area. She is a ruthless,

mean old woman. She tips them off to where

the patrols will be for a piece of the action.”

“Odell Bitterbeard has dirt on the High

Margrave and he is using it to extort money

from him.”

“The Lady Dunnfall is a witch and is in a

coven with the Atuna Sisters and Ophelia

Springfire. They are planning something

nefarious for sure!”

“I don’t trust the wizard or the high priest up

at the castle. They both arrived here the same

time; people started saying there was smoke

rising from the chimneys at the Villingarna. I

know they have something to do with it.”

[D] The Shoppes

This area of the town houses five well-stocked

merchant shops. The merchants have a full

range of goods, including a fantastic

assortment of potions at good prices thanks

to the bitter rivalry between the Atuna sisters,

Beatrix and Uma. In addition to the two

potion shops there is a dwarf blacksmith

named Odell Bitterbeard, who in addition to

blacksmith wares also doubles as the local

armorer and weapon-smith. Odell served in

the army of the Black Iron Dwarves for many

years before a leg injury cut his career short,

however he has no regrets and made enough

money to live a quiet and satisfying life as a

blacksmith – but don’t let the limp fool you,

he is still a fine warrior. There is also a general

store run by Gilligan Grady, who can tell you

the comings and goings of all vessels carrying

goods and a tailor shop run by Hans

Fiddletree. There is rumor that Hans and

Beatrix have been working on a method to

combine hexahar with silver thread and water

from the Heleran to create a cloak with

healing qualities. The town is all a buzz on

the possibilities for more exports and revenue

for the community.

Quest: Kill the Sea Hag. Beatrix offers, “I

am sure you have heard about the cloak I am

working on. Everyone in town is talking

about Beatrix and Hans and how we are going

to make it big. Well they are right! I have

discovered the final ingredient I need for the

healing cloak. I need the blood and eyes of a

sea hag. Off the coast is a small uncharted

island. If you dive to the bottom of the sea

on the south side of the island you will find a

cave. It is the lair of Babmorda Fullflicka, a

very powerful sea hag.

Quest: I Need Some Fungus. , “There is a

red lichen that grows on the walls of a cave

9


inhabited by the sea hag Babmorda Fullflicka.

I can pay you 80 gold and the choice of any

one item in my shop in exchange for the

lichen.

Encounter at Inis Cothrum

Off the west

coast of Inis

Sith is a

small, flat,

sandy island

called Inis

Cothrum. It

rarely

appears

charted on maps as there is very little to the

island. It is mostly beach with a few small

dunes and insignificant plants. An ideal

refuge for seagulls and sand crabs, it is home

to little else. Beatrix Atuna, however,

explained to you that it is a good place to

anchor your boat and it will serve as a logical

base of operations to dive down to the cave

of Babmorda Fulflikka, the sea hag. Beatrix

explained that if you enter the water about

600 feet off shore there is a steep drop with a

distinctive pale-blue coral reef. Follow the

reef down and you will be led to the cave

entrance. The island is just as described, a flat

and sandy beach with a few dunes rising from

the center of the island. As you head down

the beach you see a most curious sight, a

man’s head sits on top of the sand;

occasionally a seagull lands on the head. As

you get closer you realize there is more to this

head than meets the eye. It is fully awake, and

moves around. It appears that the man is

buried up to his neck in the sand and a large

black ring of what looks like crushed coral

encircles him. As you approach the man

smiles at you and bids you good day. Your

curiosity gets the best of you and you ask the

man about his predicament. And he explains

the following to you: “Well, funny story, I was

out on my boat enjoying the day when I

decided to take a swim. As I was swimming I

came across two aquatically inclined females.

Well it seems these two were acquaintances of

an old girlfriend of mine and before I really

knew they were there they got the better of

me and they knocked me out cold. Well, you

see, my girlfriend and I didn’t part on the best

of terms and these two took it upon

themselves to teach me a lesson. When I

awoke I was here, buried up to my neck.

And, if you take note of that black circle

there, well that was a little parting gift.

Apparently it’s a binding circle, and a pretty

good one at that. So I can’t get out of my

little predicament here without some help.

My guess is if you guys are on this island you

might be here to pay Babmorda a visit.

Certainly there is no other reason to come to

this island. As luck would have it, that puts

you in a position to help me. If you can

convince old Babs to part with some of her hair,

you could come up here and place the hair on

this circle and I can get out.”

Don’t read beyond this

point until you complete

the Sea Hag Quest!

When you place the hair on the black circle it

dissolves into the circle and you hear a

rumbling. The man says to you, “Um, I was

worried that might happen; I need one more

favor…(as he speaks two giant scorpions rise

from the sand)…would you mind just killing

these two bugs”

Don’t read beyond this

point until you have

freed the man from the

sand!

He says, “Wear these as a token of my

gratitude, the three pearls will offer you each

three opportunities to free yourself from a

tough situation. May they serve you well.”

With that he turns and walks into the ocean

and seemingly vanishes.

[E] The Tavern

The Drunken Gargoyle is a rowdy and

raucous drinking establishment. Its

proprietor is a spunky halfling named Wallard

Tumblehill. Beer, cider, and wine flow day

and night. The Drunken Gargoyle is not for

the prim and proper. It is usually filled with

sailors, off-duty soldiers, and the crews and

guards off merchant ships. It is a good place

to pick up

information, or

a few cheap

items smuggled

off ships. The

Tavern is a

sturdy stone

building braced

with a solid oak

frame. Wallard

lives in a cottage behind the tavern and his

three barmaids live in a small house just to the

left of the main building.

building in the town center. A two-story

is the home of the innkeeper Quinn Angler

and his wife Anya as well as two employee

cottages both occupied by husband and wife

teams that work at the inn and the stables.

The inn is a fine establishment and its prices

keep out the riffraff. The wealthier merchants

and captains who are passing through usually

stay here. Quinn and Anya are both wellconnected

and are happy to help their patrons

with advice, and an introduction or two as

needed.

Quest: Quinn’s Delivery to Sister Rhona.

Quinn asks, “Say friends, I need a package

delivered to Sister Rhona at the Heleran and I

heard you guys are looking for work. It is an

important package and Sister Rhona will

compensate you well for your services.”

Spine. Magnus lives in Fiskarstad and

manages the mine, while I handle shipping

orders from Volstalle. I have a nice little

office right over there next to my home.

Magnus and I are both accomplished

adventurers ourselves. Yes sir, we amassed

much wealth on our journeys. That’s how we

ended up with the mine. We pooled our loot

and purchased it. I myself am a ranger by

training and this here is my trusted

companion, Rosie, best wolf around.

[H] Gem Dealer’s Residence

This is the home of Luther Kane a merchant

who deals in gems and rare items. He says,

“Hello, Hello! Welcome! I am Luther your

humble local scholar and an expert in jewels

and magic items. For a fair price I can identify

nearly any item brought to me for inspection.

There is no merchant around with as vast a

network as I throughout Ur. I buy, sell, and

trade in all sorts of items and if there is

something you need, Luther can get his hands

on it, or I’ll wager it doesn’t really exist! I also

fancy myself a local historian and I love the

legends that are connected to the Eastern

Isles; it really is a rich history.”

You must be those folks who helped save the

High Margrave’s daughter. You are the talk

of the town! I’ll tell you what, I have no

tolerance for the piracy occurring recently in

the Muir Bainne. I like to go out to sea with

some extra men and look for pirates, more

satisfying than killing tiger whales! If you are

ever interested, I am willing to hire you on for

my next trip. Payment usually involves

seizing the pirate’s ship and treasure and

splitting it among the crew. I can also offer

you a place to stay, I have some extra beds in

my employee quarters. And if you have any

interest there is also a small fishing supply

shop here that my wife Yula runs – not

because we need a second income, but it gives

her something to do while old Pedrak is away.

Yula takes her business seriously and she is

now considered one of the premier net

makers around.

river and warn to the castle?”

Chapter 5|The Vatskold

Vatskold, the Wet Shield, so-called as its

location on the northeast peninsula of Inis

Sith causes a constant spray of sea water to hit

the cattle walls, is an impressive stronghold

and seat of the High Margrave Ultan

Dunnfall. Ultan is a well-respected warrior, a

soldier’s soldier, he holds the title of High

Margrave, a title reserved for lord’s who were

not born into nobility, but earned their rank

through valor in service of the king. Ultan

was a commander in the Three Horn’s Royal

Legion and led his troops to a great victory

over the hill giants at the Battle of the

Lillablommer Plateau in the Western Horn.

The Battle of the Lillablommer

The hill giants, led by their war chief Harig

Armhala had invaded the western horn and

had devastated the countryside. Their forces

were headed towards the mountain city of

Fredigdal. If the hill giants reached the city

they would cut the mountain provinces off

from the rest of the Western Horn essentially

controlling almost half of the kingdom’s lands.

Ultan, with 100 soldiers, met the giants on the

Lillablommer Plateau, a large outcropping

which formed a natural gateway into the valley

next to the Gron River which flowed south to

Fredigdal. Ultan rallied a contingent of gnome

miners and laid a trap on the plateau forcing

Harig’s horde of giants into a narrow trench,

thereby allowing his soldiers to take the high

ground. Ultan had filled the trench with tjara

oil, a highly flammable thick, sticky liquid; as

the giants reached the narrowest portion of the

trench and they began to slow, Ultan ordered

his archers to loose flaming arrows into the

trench, igniting the tjara oil and burring Harig

and his troops to death.

The Vatskold maintains a guard of 50 human

soldiers as well as a group of elite fighters

known as the Knights of the Silverpaw. The

Knights, a group of ten accomplished

warriors are led by the dwarven champion,

Yorgin Deepforge. The castle also is home to

the Church of Valkur, god of the sea. The

golden dome of the church can be seen for

miles. The church has recently gone through

a change of leadership with the death of the

14


long serving high priest. While the high priest

was extremely old, rumors continue to swirl

that he was poisoned. The new high priest,

Enda Wexford, arrived only last month. Enda

was called into service from the Valkur

Monastery in the far north of Ur on the

Frystarov Sea. His reputation is as a devout,

but stern and isolated cleric and little more is

known about him. There has been much

tension between Enda and Ultan. Enda has

been very frank in his disapproval of Ultan’s

wife, Freya. Freya does not attend weekly

devotion ceremonies and Enda does not trust

wizards in general. He has asked Ultan to

close the magic school and he has written to

the Jarl and the King to express his

displeasure. Ultan, is not a fan of the wizard

Abelthor the Green either, but he has been

navigating the difficult political situation, out

of love for his wife, who has a passion for

arcana and insisted on establishing a magic

school in the Eastern Isles.

Chapter 6 |Into the Temple

In the days before the Eastern Isles were

annexed by the Kingdom of the Three Horns,

the islands were ruled from the Villingarna,

the fortress of the Twin Spires and on Inis

Sith, sat the Temple of Malusignis – the

Maleficent Fire-eater – the demon lord

worshiped by the Vindicta Triumvirate. The

Triumvirate had brought together the gnagare,

orc, and goblin tribes of the islands along with

the tribes of dwarves and the few men who

inhabited the area. The Vindicta were led by

three warlocks who ruled from Villingarna

and they controlled the orc and gnagare lands.

But it was the high priest at the Temple who

swayed power and subjugated the goblins. As

time went on a rift between the magi and the

clerics grew. There arose a power struggle

between the high priest and the warlocks and

a great battle ensured. The warlocks led an

army of gnagare against the high priest who

had banded together all of the tribes of

goblins in the Eastern Isles. The orcs split

their allegiance between the two sides, but the

gnagare leader, Vitpals the Blood-drinker,

now venerated as a demigod by the gnagare

and orcs alike, brought all the orcs over to the

warlocks’ side and the tide of battle turned.

The high priest called upon a volatile and

ancient black power causing great quakes and

tremors which led to massive destruction

across the islands and the temple is said to

have sunk into the ground and the warlocks

and much of both armies were obliterated.

The priest is said to have disappeared

underground never to be seen again. Now

smoke again rises from the Twin Spires and

rumors abound that a triumvirate of magi – a

human warlock, a dwarf necromancer, and an

orc sorcerer have banded together to reclaim

the power of the Cult of Malusignis and

resurrect him from the nether world. There

are fears that the priests have returned as well

and restored the temple and an uneasy alliance

once again exists between the evil magi and

clerics. A dark hour comes.

The Dungeon Crawl

Read no further unless

you have found the

dungeon entrance!

You find yourself on a large stone-tiled

platform within a cavernous room with a

domed ceiling 20 feet up. The platform is

approximately 60 feet wide and 30 feet deep.

The remainder of the room is about 100 feet

long. There appears to be no floor in the rest

of the room except for three small 10x10

round platforms that seem to be suspended in

the air, held up by some unnatural force. The

two closest platforms sit against the walls

opposite each other about forty feet away and

a third platform sits centered on the far wall

100 feet away about 55 feet on a diagonal

from the other two platforms. On this far

platform sits a glowing obelisk.

The Dungeon Layout

A. Arrival Room. After a few moments

of disorientation you look around to

see that you are in a square room.

Rough stone walls and stone-tile

floors surround you, wall torches

provide a low light. You sense that

you are far underground; touching

the obelisk must have transported

you to this room. A single oak door

faces you.

B. Underground Lake. You travel down

the long corridor to another oak

door. The door opens into a natural

cavern; a single torch, unlit, sits in a

rest by the door. Across the cavern a

shimmering subterranean lake forms

a large pool. The wall above the lake

shows gaps suggesting the pool

travels underneath the wall and

beyond into another area of the

dungeon.

Chapter 7 |The Twin Spires

For centuries the ominous towers of Villingarna have been cold and dark, a ruined monument to a

long ago reign of terror in the Eastern Isles. But in the age of darkness it was here, at the Twin

Spires, that the first Vindicta Triumvirate held power and raised the fire eater – Malusingis – from

the Abyss. Now it seems that three new magi have banned together to bring the evil lord back to the

land of Ur.

As you sail

towards Inis

Adhar, you begin

to see the outline

of the Grysrigg

Mountains come

into focus. You

know that the

Twin Spires lay

just beyond the

Pig’s Spine in the

wild lands of the

western part of

Adhar. Your

journey thus far

has been calm as

you move

effortlessly

through the

rolling waves of

the Muir Bainne.

You know,

however, that this

is a false calm, and

the challenge that

lies ahead of you

will be the greatest

of your lives.

You look up and

see a messenger

Gianna is the third daughter of King Selwyn of the Rhai Euraidd - the Golden Ones - the

high elves of the Golden Valley of Terramusia. Gianna rejected her life of nobility and left

the Golden Valley to explore the world and forge her own path. She did so with the

blessing of her father who saw in her something special. While the nobility of the Rhai

Euraidd are known for their magical ability, Selwyn realized that Gianna possesses a very

strong magic ability and that the only way for her to develop it was to explore the world

and hone her skills. Gianna's powerful magic potential stems from a genetic mutation. Her

bloodline contains fey fairy elements and her mutation has made many of her fairy abilities

emerge. As such she has the following additional abilities:

Gianna has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

She is immune from charm spells.

She can see invisible creatures.

She has a 50% change of automatically detecting an illusion.

She can cast the following cantrips/spells as a bonus action:

Faerie Fire, Dancing Lights, Control Flame, Mending

wandered the countryside until he was found by a dwarven ranger named Toll. Toll taught

him the ways of the ranger. Toll was tragically killed by a goblin war chief while on a

mission in the Eastern Isles. Colin has sworn to someday find the goblin and kill him.

Because of his deep hatred for goblins, Colin gains the following skill whenever he faced

goblins, any goblinoids, orcs, gnagare, or gnolls.

Second Wind. You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself

oration to help revitalize your wounded allies during a short rest. If you or any friendly

creatures who can hear your performance regain hit points at the end of the short rest by

spending one or more Hit Dice, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points.

The extra hit points increase when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d8 at 9th

Drinking alcohol has a strange effect on people from the Vales. If they drink any alcohol,

take a long rest or their HP's are reduced by half until they take the long rest.
