It actually started a year ago December, so it's sort of a first-year inventory as well.  Number of Sessions: 24 Number of Players: 5 In-Game Time Elapsed: 3 months Average PC Level: 4  The PCs wake up, shipwrecked and suffering from amnesia, in a city they've never before seen. They search for their identities and find a mystery wrapped up in a sunken ship and a cult devoted to hunger.

The party had no choice but to turn on this creature.  These unfortunate events led the party to leave the city and follow the trail of the politicians son into a barren volcanic desert. Here they have found themselves caught up in politics once again, as the water supply of a remote outpost is disrupted. As they become involved in local affairs, the PCs began to learn that there is a connection with these events and the cultist, and soon find themselves in the heart of the desert, battling him in a collapsing volcanic chamber. And for the second time, he escapes.  The PCs continue to follow their quarry into the mountains and learn that a long-forgotten race of dragons once inhabited them. They discover snippets of history which hint at some of the forces which might be at work. They wonder if this might relate to recent events. And if so, how...</blockquote>
