Message: <blockquote data-quote="reighndragon" data-source="post: 8526785" data-attributes="member: 35732">I've posted my newspaper for the first adventure in the newspaper thread so you could use that one for inspiration.I've made the duchess a cousin of Queen Aurala, so the family bond is still conform the original AP, although not as close. She's invited to the "inauguration" of the Coaltongue because of her ambassadorship of the Unseen Court. Her motivation for the attack on the ship is the possibility to kill the Queen, because her son, prince Wrogar is much more susceptible to her advice, should he become the new king. The wedding announcement is between Prince Wrogar and Lya Jierre.In my campaign King Boranel of Breland has died and a democracy has formed. Han Jierre, archduke of Xandrar has become the speaker of the House and one of the most important persons in Breland. Lya Jierre is appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and as such visits Passage after the Duchess has attacked Axis Island. I've added islands to Lake Galifar, north of the Blackcaps, one of those is Axis Island. The Island is rich in Iron Ore and used by Breland for metallurgy research and innovative industrial design for constructing "golems". The golems do have a lot of warforged technology used in them, but are certainly not warforged. House Cannith certainly supports this effort.The Duchess has invaded the island to show to Aundair the use of industrialization by Breland. The mining of iron clearly causes the planar instability on the island and the golems with their Khyber's Blood (Witchoil) technology are an affront to the way of living in Aundair. She hopes that by showing this to the people of Aundair, the industrialization course of the Queen will need to change.  Axis Island has been the center of the sealing rituals of the Gatekeepers during the time of the Dhakaani Empire. The temple on the map is the location the Gatekeepers performed this most important ritual. In my Eberron I changed the cosmology as such that the moons are portals to their respective planes. So you can use spaceships/rockets to fly to these portals. The technology is not yet available to fly to the moons yet. The ring of Syberis in conjunction with the ritual conducted by the Gatekeepers makes the planes difficult to access and makes all other planes inaccessible. The skyseers are a branch separated from the Gatekeepers. The Gatekeepers use oral traditions, and after approximately 10,000 years the details of the rituals conducted are lost to them. The Icons are golden images of the planar symbols shown in Exploring Eberron. I used the Golden Icons of Daanvi, Lammania, and Mabar. I've rewritten the Icons in DNDBeyond and could make them available through homebrew. I've kept most encounters on the island as written.Asrabey Varal is send by the Unseen Court to show their disagreement with the duchess. His order is to kill her, but he is willing to not kill her if the party is able to convince him to get the message to the Queen. During the last war the duchess has asked the Unseen Court for help, and she successfully acquired the help of Asrabey Varal and his eladrin elites for some battles fought with Thrane and Karrnath. This has made Asrabey Varal a decorated war hero of Aundair, and makes it more difficult for him to kill the duchess although the orders of the Unseen Court were clear. They need to sent a message that they do not agree with the Duchess's path to a new war.If you have any other specific questions please ask.</blockquote>
