Two small matches were struck against a fare stone. Soon the whole world was swallowed in a mountain of flames.
1372 DR, The Year of Wild Magic:
A falling star fell from the heavens and crashed into the north of Faerun. Where it landed is unknown, but a small earthquake was felt across the lands of the north.
1373 DR, The Year of Rogue Dragons:
Throughout Faerun five metallic dragons were seen at random locations. However, these dragons attacked towns and villages for reasons unknown. Each of these dragons was ridden by figures dark and mysterious. Who these beings were and where they came from is a mystery as well, as was the purpose in their doings.
1374 DR, The Year of Lightning Storms:
A strange year indeed. Violence and crimes have fallen near silent as they dwindled to nothing much at all. The dragons that caused havoc the year before have vanished from the skies. Evil monsters all throughout the lands have been appearing less frequently. Cities prospered, populations grew. People were happy. However all was not well beneath the skin of this glorious illusion. Things are about to change...
It is the 24th day of the month of Eleint and all is well in the Cormyrian city of Wheloon (as it has been this past year). The town has grown fairly well. The lord of city, Sarp Redbeard, struck at luck as his wife finally gave birth, and twins they were. The city itself struck at rich as profits skyrocketed for the city’s businesses. And during the last ten months, only three minor crimes were reported. However, this month strange things began to happen. People began to disappear.
Three months ago twelve adventurers entered town for individual reasons. Though they were adventurers they could not bring themselves to depart this town. Their fates were already set, but of course untold. These adventurers have yet to meet each other. During the same time these travelers came to Wheloon the Red Wizards of Thay established a small compound outside of town. The adventurers heard of this, but have not gone to the compound yet. Led by a fledgling Red Wizard, the wizards and their bodyguards of this compound have a small operation in which they produce potions, scrolls, and occasionally minor magic weapons and armor.
A couple of days ago the adventurers heard of rumors of the disappearance of two young men who never returned to their homes the night before. The men were strong, healthy, and fit, working as loggers. The adventurers investigated a bit individually, discovering that the men were last seen at one of the local taverns named the Golden Songbird, speaking with a tall woman with long, dark hair. The men left with her, and the three were spotted walking out of town as a group. A local merchant got into contact with each of the adventurers and asked them to meet at the same tavern where the incident began, offering information on the disappearance. Ironically, all of the adventurers just happened to get to the tavern at the same time. They greeted each other and minded their own businesses. One by one they entered the tavern...

About the Game
Howdy folks. As you can see I am interested in getting a Forgotten Realms game started. It will be a big campaign to say the least, so I am looking for, that's right, 12 players that think they can bear it out with me. This was a campaign that I wanted to start a while back but never got a chance to start the engine. I'm looking forward to burning those tires now.
Yes, there will hopefully be 12 players, but often enough they will be split up for those of you who are afraid of such a party size. This game will have a lot of combat in it, yet there will be long times when combat won't be around. Don't worry if you want to make a very social character, for I try to keep a balance between the different types of characters. However, I'm not going to worry too much about how the party is made up. I want you all to create characters that you want to play and have fun with it. I will try my best to keep this game moving quickly, as I hope you do. I am looking for players that can post at least every other day. 3.5 rules.

Well, enough of that. I'm looking forward to 12 interesting characters and players knocking on my door here soon. Oh, and in case the beginning of this adventure sounds familiar to you, fear not. Things are different.

- Any base class, along with the Courtier class from the Rokugan setting book.

I can get a hold of most FR books from friends, etc. and would be interested in joining in. I think I'd like to play a moon elf monk from Evermeet. Sort of a philosophical, contemplative... you might say flakey character who has just returned to the ancient home of his/her people.

It's up to you really though.
