[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9558217, member: 4534"] The campaign starts with the assumption that characters are from the Diamond Lake area which is a mining town on the coast of a lake of the same name three days east of the Free City of Greyhawk. The module assumes the characters are from Diamond Lake, have some familiarity with the local geography and legends, and are inclined to do some adventuring based on rumors. What follows is a very, very minor spoiler for the module. [spoiler]Sixty years prior to the scenario, members of the Seekers, a group of adventurers, scholars, and archaeologist, came to investigate the Whispering Cairn but never returned. The expedition has been largely forgotten, save for "footnotes in musty tomes in the Seeker Lodge of the Free City (Greyhawk)" that record their fate.[/spoiler] This organization doesn't exist anymore in my setting, but I'm going to say all of its records went to the Grey College where it has caught the attention of a student working on his senior capstone project. Most students at the Grey College come from wealthy families, and this particular student's family loves him very much, so they hire the PCs to accompany him to Diamond Lake. For my campaign specifically, the student comes from a family the PCs have already met in previous adventures, and I'm hoping the student becomes a contact for them in future adventures. He'll serve as a nice exposition dump by explaining history stuff. [/QUOTE]
