The mystery of Veldath

Mizraith rode forth from Gurdock west along the well-traveled roads of central Terros.

After several days of travel, he finally reached the mountains. There, the road wound its way up and up, over the narrow range of jagged peaks, and finally down into Torryn Province, the northeasternmost part of the Midrythian Empire.

But before the pass lay one last obstacle on the Terrosian side of the mountains: the village of Veldath.

The concern of the Masters

The city of Gurdock, crossroads of the east, filthy, soiled jewel of the Terrosian Empire, churned away on its foundations, a blight on the otherwise beautiful coast of a breathtaking land.

In a back room of a seaside tavern, a grizzled old man, dressed in expensive but worn raiment, spoke in hushed tones over glasses of brandy with a young man who looked far too serious for his years.

“Mizraith,”, the old man said, “my people tell me that something has gone wrong with the two we sent west to Torryn.”

What is the Brotherhood of the Nine?

Enris and Thuron, having totally lost their memories in some mysterious way on their way over the mountains into Torryn province, had no idea what this “Brotherhood of the Nine” was for whom they supposedly worked as field agents.

Indeed, on Duke Sorsho’s castle steward Nendorin’s advice, they had played along as if they did not have complete amnesia, so the Duke made no effort in explaining to them what exactly the nature of their organization might be.

Prior to embarking on their surveillance on Maeran Dun’s Haeleth warehouse, however, Nendorin tried filling them in so as to attempt to help keep them out of trouble.
