[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 1161735, member: 1210"] [b]Prologue: the Plains of Strogass[/b] For a million years the sun has blasted its light from the sky every day, revolving around the island of Forinthia and sinking into the sea at night. Forinthia, of course, is home to the worship of the Light, Galador, the Sun God. And far from her is a huge continent called Strogass, home of the Dark Empire that serves Bleak, the light-snuffing opposite to Galador. For hundreds of years one man held the chaos and evil that was the Dark Empire together through force of arms. All who opposed him died terribly, made examples for the education of his people. He warred against Forinthia time and time again, sent a constant stream of subversives, spies and malcontents to undermine the Galadorian faith, and spent considerable resources fighting for the glory of the Black Sun. Then, a couple of years ago, the Dark Emperor vanished- died, is likely- and everything fell apart. The Forinthians don't know it yet, and their own Emperor has also vanished, so perhaps there's some sort of parallelism involved in current events. Or, maybe, the times they are a-changin'. Northern Strogass has many bands of halflings, loosely related, that travel the plains and wander the rolling hillocks. Every year, there's an annual week-long gathering of all the bands, who meet to discuss matters of import to the halfling nation. It takes several weeks for all the folk to gather, and usually a few of the more politically-minded groups stay at the site of the gathering for a month or more after it's all over. For the week before the gathering starts the first tribe present rings the gathering bell each morning at dawn to call the scattered kinfolk from far across the plains. Unfortunately, over the last year the gathering bell was struck by lightning and cracked. Thus it is that our heroes are dispatched to a town called Bellhold, thence to commission and return with a bell.... [i][b]Next Time:[/b][/i][b][/b] We'll introduce our characters as they make their journey to town! [/QUOTE]
