The Unkillable Bastards

The Unkillable Bastards were a party of adventurers formed in 1500. These seven heroes bore the burden of dark divine legacy, carrying Shar's Divine Spark from the small hamlet of Mosswood all the way to the River Styx, where they destroyed it.    When this relic was destroyed in the River Styx, the Lord of Hell was defeated—for a time. Our world was changed as well. Did the destruction of the artifact unleash its latent wild magic? Did the defeat of Asmodeus's serpentine form loosen his binds on The Weave? Did Donnie Julias's reality-bending wish unlock something in the cosmos? Arcanists ceaselessly debate the cause, but the effect is clear: The Weave changed, and magic became more accessible than it has been in lifetimes. In the years since, Arvor has undergone a magical renaissance.   Through the course of their adventures, they liberated cities, slayed dragons and divine facets, found family, and planted the seeds of beauty across the cosmos.
