Before going on the main quest, numerous events told place.

NOW LET'S FIND OUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

Syrus and Galaden investigated rumors of a haunted farm in northern Forthyn. Their scrutiny quickly revealed that there was no ghost, only a meddler named Herbie, attempting to con his sister-in-law, Elsie, out of valuable property.

Syrus was appalled at Herbie's duplicity, and insisted that he offer financial compensation to Elsie.

THE ARMY OF CARTHRIDGE

Brynn and Vaerix met with Baron Zachareth at an army camp in Forthyn's northwestern forests. The Baron of Cartridge was leading his armies to confront undead in the Mistlands, and made it clear he had no interest in leading his troops to assist Forthyn against the Uthuk.

Eager to maintain diplomatic relations with Cartridge, despite Zachareth's actions, Brynn placated the Baron. In exchange, he offered material support to assist Forthyn's effort.

HUNTING PARTY

Galaden and Laurel of Bloodwood pursued a pack of Uthuk Y'llan through a forest and discovered signs of an ambush.

Though they were unable either to help the victims or catch the perpetrators, Laurel assured Galaden that he was doing all he could to protect Forthyn from the Uthuk.

IT TAKES A THIEF

Countess Ducard summoned Brynn, Syrus, and Chance to her manor to investigate a theft from her household.Chance easily determined that the thief was a member of the household staff, struggling to get by on a meager salary.

Rather than surrender the servant, Luden, to Ducard for punishment, the heroes appeased the countess and tookthe man into their own service

THE GATES OF THELGRIM

A number of traders, merchants, and refugees found themselves stranded when Thelgrim, the dwarven capitol, unexpectedly closed its gates in response to some internal threat.

Kehli and the other heroes met with Master Flint of Forge's Smiths* Guild, and helped him find safe harbor for the gathered masses.

THE ORCS OF FORTHYN

In the small village of Camsford, the heroes encountered a nomadic tribe of orcs, led by Elder Mok, a spiritspeaker of some skill.

The Outlaw Prince attempted to recruit the orcs to some unknown purpose, but the heroes intervened and persuaded them to work with the Barony of Forthyn instead.

Embarrassed and enraged, the Outlaw Prince lashed out with his harsh words, further ostracizing the orcs and stomping out of the village in a huff.
