You can read more about Arcanis at <a href="http://www.onaraonline.org" target="_blank">Onara Online</a>. Please note: This adventure contains spoilers!Our cast of characters includes:•    Dungeon Master: Michael Tresca (<a href="http://michael.tresca.net" target="_blank">http://michael.tresca.net</a>)•    Beldin Soulforge (dwarf fighter/dwarven defender) played by Joe Lalumia•    Sebastian Arnyal (dark-kin sorcerer) played by George Webster•    Vlad Martell (human fighter) played by Matt HammerThis little side trek acts as a bridge between the larger campaign to stop the Unspeakable One and everything else going on in Coryan.  It’s also the point in the campaign where the game catches up with the Arcanis timeline.  We’re now somewhere in the murky depths of Year Three. However, we haven’t officially ended Year Two yet (that’s in a few adventures), so the timeline is a bit out of sync.  To bring you up to speed, our heroes recently sowed the seeds of rebellion in Canceri, with the hopes that the Nerothians will throw off the Nierite occupation.  The Nierites also marched on Milandir but were defeated. A plague heightened the tension between Milandir and Canceri, and Sebastian and Vlad were caught in the middle. Ultimately, the plague was averted and Milandir stayed out of the brewing civil war.  During their journey, Ilmarė was poisoned. Her sister, Anulee, was part of a convoluted plot to protect her honor.  She pinned the death of Vlad’s father, a humble guardsman, on Sebastian’s father, who was condemned to death.  Anulee was banished for her crime and fled southwards to Sweet Savona.  The Unspeakable One’s minions, the k’n-yan, manage to weaken the rift between Arcanis and Carcosa.  This bodes ill, for as Bijoux personally witnessed, it means that the world will soon come to an end as thousands of k’n-yan invade. The heroes stumble upon Hillary Carbo, Livius’ wife, in a power struggle to control yet another cult that eagerly awaits the Unspeakable One’s return.  Armed with information that Livius was in Sweet Savona, they headed out…But instead of reforming her ways, Anulee fell in with Silas Fedders, the former court wizard of Duke Adolphos val’Tensen, and they ultimately tried to summon a Spawn of Hastur at a premiere theatre in Savona. The heroes defeated her, barely. They’re hot on the trail of Livius.  If they can catch him, perhaps they can save the world after all.</blockquote>
