As the sun warms the ground so that
the earth may become bountiful a new threat encroaches on the
land of Dereth.
Across the mountains of northern
and southern Osteth, Drudges have come to heel beneath the rule
of raiding parties. These Drudges, altered by the Virindi, can
only have been sent here by their malicious masters to carry out
another aspect of their invasion.
Patrols of Stalkers and Lurkers
make their way through the mountains. Only by defeating them can
parties gain access to the underground citadels of their leader.
The newly organized Drudges call themselves The Black Claw Clan
and are sworn to service of a Virindi known on as the
Inculcator.
For the purposes of purging this
menace from the world monarchies have made great strides in
bolstering communication within their ranks. Now allegiances can
appoint speakers to relay information to all members with new
efficiency and speed. Messages may be delivered on a daily basis
to keep all within apprised of current events and happenings.
Magi of the School of the Left
Hand have discovered the Essence of Enchantment. By feeding the
scrolls of the school to the Essence they are gifted with the
knowledge of the seventh sphere.
Assisting those schooled in
magical arts, archmages have developed a way to alleviate the
tedium of purchasing reagents one by one. Now they will fill
orders as determined by what their clients desire. As an added
benefit they now consider reagent peas to be components as well.
As the seasons change so do the
creature of the world. New trophies can be forged into armor and
keepsakes by crafters as the season forces creatures to shed
their hides once again.
The changing tides of Solclaim
have continued into Seedsow, but the Virindi grow bolder and
still their motives remain hidden. They take small steps against
the Children of Ispar and now the question is, when will they
make great strides?
