Message: <blockquote data-quote="AnotherGuy" data-source="post: 9467405" data-attributes="member: 7029930">The original party, a party made up predominantly of ex-militia, is from Mystara, the <a href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=republic+of+darokin&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&ghc=1&lq=0&pq=republic+of+darokin&sc=2-19&sk=&cvid=F9C646FD8C2340C08C3DF0D4D77D2B5E&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl=" target="_blank">Republic of Darokin</a>.[SPOILER="Shard Backstory"]The backstory being there was a massive explosion/event which scattered the shards to various corners of the multiverse/realities and one of those shards landed in Mystara.That shard was the infamous blue knife the humanoids found and lost in the history section of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orcs_of_Thar" target="_blank">Orcs of Thar.</a> It was later found brought to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Principalities_of_Glantri" target="_blank">Glantri</a> by the Alphatian General Halzunthram, the man who initiated the Forty Years War, a bloody period before the nation of Gantri formed its Principalities.Needless to say, this item found its way to a select group of Glantrian wizards, and due to its unique alien properties, these wizards were encouraged to form the Society of Dimensionalists. They began exploring wild and strange theories about a multiverse, different realities ...etc which upset certain powerful and influential individuals within the Great School of Magic. This eventually led to some of them being hunted down and imprisoned...etcTwo of the members, a couple, fled to an obscure town within Darokin to escape, raising their children as Darokinians.One of these children is the PC who views the item as an heirloom, his family's legacy.[/SPOILER] The motivation to retrieve the item is both sentimental (and mechanical).[SPOILER="More Recent Events"]The above PC died in Toril (long story) against the greater mummy Diderius (Tyranny of Dragons), and ended up in the Fugue Plane, City of Judgement before Kelemvor and his attendees, possibly facing a fate of being imprisoned into the Wall of the Faithless unless someone present petitioned for his soul. And there was one that did, his old party leader (a deceased player's character who had become a Mystaran Immortal in their last adventure with us).The PC was given the option by Kelemvor to either to let his soul be taken back to the Mystaraverse to be laid to rest by the petitioner (the Immortal) or let his divine spark be reforged in Toril, cutting his ties to Mystara. There were actual implications for the latter, but it meant that his character would be resurrected.Reclaiming the shard would alleviate or slow down some of those implications.[/SPOILER]The shard, along with a second piece of the Rod is being worn as a hairpin by an Everlasting One in Svardborg (Storm Kings Thunder). The Frost Giant too has no idea what she possesses.</blockquote>
