Unleashed from the cruel heart of a fell seed known as a shadow pearl, this savage tide swept over an ancient city perched atop the crown of a remote island. The tide transformed beggar and noble, merchant and thief, resident and visitor into feral, ravenous fiends. The fruits of centuries labor came crumbling down in a matter of days, and when survivors tried to stem the tide by destroying the pearl, the resulting blast of power sunk their city into a boiling lake of death, through it all the Abyssal architect of the savage tide watched, taking pride in the ruin. when the tides final; ripples had faded, what was left became know as the isle of dread.Now a thousand years later, the true masters of the isle of dread look upon new targets, new cities beyond the horizon, compelled by the hateful will of their demonic lord Demegorgon to prepare for the coming glory. This time, the doom will not be limited to one hapless city. This time, all of civilization waits unknowing on the shore, blissfully ignorant of what the incoming tide brings in.previous adventures: [sblock=There Is No Honor] This all started long ago, when Lavinia entreated you to help secure access to her family vault then asked for your help with her missing brother, Vanthus. You found him at Parrot Island, where he trapped you in the tunnels below. You escaped from them and found the Lotus Dragon guild just about ready to take over Sasserine (main city) sea trade. Alas, Vanthus escaped, but not for long.[/sblock][sblock=The Bullywug Gambit]You sought out Kraken's Cove, a location mentioned in the documents found in the Lotus Dragon guildhall; the place was in chaos, with flesh eating pirates and many deadly creatures running loose. Fighting off diseased and enraged beasts took valuable time, but you wound your way through the caverns to encounter Captain Harliss Javell. She told you she sent her first mate and bullywug conscripts to Sasserine for revenge against Vanthus. The race was on, back to save the city during a festival celebrating the victory over Kyuss. you dodged assassin stilt walkers and saved Lavinia from the bullywugs and their allies.[/sblock][sblock=The Sea Wyvern's Wake]After a bit of rest, a thankful Lavinia had more work for you. it was time to set sail on the Sea Wyvern and transport a vital supply shipment to Farshore on the Isle of Dread. After a stop at ruined Tamoachan, you ran a red wizard blockade and found an old enemy stowed away. In the middle of a Sargasso sea, you found and defeated a seaweed-dwelling monstrosity, but your ship was caught by a storm, wrecking on the northern shore of the Isle of Dread[/sblock][sblock=Here There Be Monsters]With the Sea Wyvern no longer sea worthy, the only option was a trek through the jungle, meeting Dinosaurs and terror birds while taking the surviving passengers and crew along to safety. On the far side of the mountain range, a band of gargoyles repeatedly attacked. One of your allies was abducted by a large bar-lgura demon deep in the island interior. Following his abductor into a shrine to the Prince of Demons, Demegorgon, and a battle against the bar-lgura and his brood of vile followers.[/sblock][sblock=Tides of Dread]With the Demons at the shrine defeated, you arrived in Farshore just in time to see it attacked by pirates. You helped the defenders and were reunited with Lavinia Vanderboren. The pirates were just scouts, though, and you discovered that the Crimson fleet was coming to pillage and raze Farshore. You helped to prepare the colonies defenses, forging alliances with the natives, fighting dinosaurs, recovering and making repairs to the Sea Wyvern, and defeating an aspect of an Olman god. When the Crimson Fleet hove into view, you crossed swords with Lavinia's corrupted brother Vanthus and defeated himand prevented him from releasing another savage tide outbreak.[/sblock]</blockquote>
