At the moment converting the 4th adventure, Allways on Time. Exchanged ideas at the campaign threat of TFL, but didn't want to highjack his campaign recap threat by spamming the ideas for my campaign. The route will be:Korranberg -> Zolanport -> Sterngate -> Starilaskur -> Vathirond -> Mournland -> Griffonclaw -> Gatherhold -> Soldit -> Atur -> Korth -> Rekkenmark. Vendricce is a small island north of Thaliost, the obs will take a boat from Rekkenmark.I wanted to share 3 descriptions of NPC's, curious what other people will think of this conversion.            Ashima-ShimtuAshima-Shimtu is an ancient demoness affiliated with the Overlord Sul Khatesh (keeper of secrets, overlord of occult knowledge). Ashima-Shimtu has been an advisor to multiple lords. In the time of Karrn the Conquerer (app.-2000 Y.K.) she was defeated by him around the location of Arcanix. She agreed to become his advisor resulting in the cruelities he commited in later times. The secrets she told him were not always to his liking, and when she refused to tell him the ritual that would certainly help him defeat his enemies, he chose to imprison her in a special prison on the island of Odiem located in the Karrn river. All religious signs are dedicated to the Sovereign Host in the prison. Rumors tell of Galifar I sometimes visiting this location for advise, although it is certain she has never been set free. Bound in this location for 3.000 years.           Damata GrientoHalf-orc originally from the Shadow Marches. A 40-something half-orc now residing in Graywall, Droaam. Damata has brought his wife and two children on board for a vacation. Though the rest of his family is a boisterous party of new-wealth tourists eager to see the “Five Nations,” Damata is troubled and edging toward manic-depression.Damata hails from the Griento clan, allies of the Torrn family of House Tharashk. He’s always been eager to find the luxury life of the five nations, and he never fit in the Shadow Marches society. He started working for House Tharashk and was stationed in Graywall, Droaam. He was successful in delivering monstrous strength for Aundairian and Brelish production facilities. He became wealthy and raised in the ranks of House Tharashk. Unfortunately he failed in an attempt to challenge his superior, loosing status within the House. Afterwards, he was suckered into a high-stakes con by a man posing as an Aundairian railmagnate of House Orien, planning to build a lightning rail from Threshold to Graywall to connect Breland and Droaam. Damata was dazzled by a slick pitch that involved teleporting him to Passage and taking him to lavish parties enjoying the luxury lifestyle he wanted.Seeing vast potential for wealth and needing a huge down payment to buy a stake. His current status with the House was not sufficient for such an investment. Damata took a loan from The Family in Passage, a criminal organization secretly based in Zilargo and affiliated to the Trust. When his ‘partner’ disappeared with tens of thousands of gold pieces, Damata was on the hook. After begging for mercy, gnomes of Zilargo approached him to broker a deal which would give him sufficient funds to repay the loan. He was told to come to Korranberg to settle the deal. He was told to take some of the House secrets, regarding monstrous mercenary contracts, with him. Damata botched an attempt to lie to his wife, and ended up with her and their kids tagging along, expecting to enjoy a vacation while Damata does ‘research for his railroad.’The gnomes in Korranberg told him to sell the secret documents to House Deneith in Karrnath. Damata has a suitcase of holding full of dragonshards he stole from House Tharashk at Graywall and the secret documents, worth a total of 34,000 gp. He has a hunch he’ll never make it home alive, and even if he does, he’s pretty sure his family or the House will find and kill him.           Through his House Tharashk contacts, he could be a contact for the party to the Gatekeepers. Gatekeepers are allied to the Torrn clan of House Tharashk. In my Eberron, the Gatekeepers are very secretive and almost impossible to find. Almost all members were annihilated when they tried to recover Axis Isle, during the war.           Ottavia SacredoteA Sovereign Host divine oracle of Aureon human woman, who is also a member of House Tarkanan. Ottavia wears a silver ring that says “Orthodoxy Bolsters Gods,” marking her as tier four of lantern cell. Ottavia is an adherent agent of the Obscurati, who has fallen in love with Nathan.Ottavia was born out of the secret relation between Jorlanna d’Cannith and an heir of House Deneith (Dragonmarked p 18). Born deaf, Ottavia was given to a Sovereign Host orphanage in Sharn, where she grew up devout in her faith. She learned to communicate through sign language and even speak, albeit with difficulty. When she reached maturity, she focused her studies on texts, laws and history, and felt a divine guidance in her studies. She started training in the use of magic, learning to cope with her deafness. Her expertise grew and she became a member of the King's Citadel. She began to doubt the purity of those in power after discovering the ruthlessness of captain Tonan (Sharn City of Towers p139) of the local Dark Lanterns. She talked about this with local commander Knight-Marshal Banarak Tithon, but he waved away her grievances. Shortly after this discovery, she was attacked at her house by members of the Deathsgate adventurer’s Guild. During her defense she developed an aberrant dragonmark, killing one of her assaillants. She fled the scene and after a couple of days was contacted by House Tarkanan. The House learned her develop and control the abilities of her aberrant dragonmark.Afterwards she was sent to Xandrar, the one city in Breland accepting persons with an aberrant dragonmark. In Xandrar she came into contact with members of the Jierre family line. This family had made the aberrant dragonmarks openly acceptable in the Archduchy of Xandrar and offered her protection vs Captain Tonan. So she was susceptible when an agent of the Obscurati approached her. The ties between this family and the Obscurati, convinced her she now has a chance to make a difference. Though still earnest in her faith, she believes the conspiracy just to be a group of enlightened thinkers who want to reform society and improve the lot of the poor and weak. Through her direct ties to the Jierre family she has also been able to change laws, increasing the rights for the poorer and weaker citizens of the country.Ottavia took an instant liking to Nathan when she realized the man knew her sign language. She believes Nathan’s lantern will be used to shield and illuminate the weak when an inevitable reckoning occurs. Throughout the trip she presses Nathan to make sure his creation is used for the right purpose.Any comments?</blockquote>
