The
Lost Vessel Seekers are an adventuring group operating in the
Kingdom of Endor. In early 5A 352, they cleared a bandit camp together north of
Endor, the First Mountain, and were hired by
Maalik to find the lost ship, the
Harolaud.
History
Founding
In early 5A 352,
Durak Hamarhart met
"Lunchmoney" Snuggleshine who was seeking aid to deal with a camp of bandits operating on the
Iron Highway north of
Endor, the First Mountain. As a paladin, Durak volunteered his assistance.
Corxim Loofallue overheard this conversation, and after deciding this was an opportunity for riches, personal experience, and making allies, he offered his assistance as well. Together, the three cleared the bandit camp.
Adventures

Afterwards, on 24 Felim 5A 352, Durak, Corxim, and "Lunchmoney" visted the
Gilded Gnoll tavern to celebrate their victory. There, they met
Maalik, who hired them to retreive a lost item from the gnomish ship, the
Harolaud. She directed them northwards to the
Red Rocks Bay, and the group left in the morning.
They hired a carriage driver,
Andinir Brightdale, and headed northwards into a worsening winter storm. They passed through the town of
Lakanaba in central Endor, and on the roadway north they fought a mated pair of owlbears.
At
Fort Johanna, they helped a dwarf cleric,
Dulimund Dourwrek, as he healed an orc farmhand wounded by an owlbear. As Dulimund talked to the party about the strange storm, he theorized it was
Sehakora, The Maelstrom, that was the source of the blizzard.
The next day the party went westward to the Red Rocks Bay, with Durak leading the party through the heavy snow. They travelled into the bay where they found the Harolaud frozen in ice. They fled through many fire motes that tried to sap their energy. Once on the deck of the ship, they broke the lock on the hold's hatch and went inside.
At the bottom of the ship was a large fire elemental that had slain the crew. As the elemental took the item they were seeking, a
green ring, from the hands of the dead captain, it grew exponentially, causing the ship to explode outward.
During the battle, Durak used both his shields and warhammer to break the ice under the broken bust of Sehakora that the elemental and green ring item were tethered to, sending them into the water. As they sunk, the ice broke and Durak was submerged in the icy water.
Under the water, Durak saw the green ring and behind it a set of dragon-like eyes and pair of pale white horns in the shape a crescent. The entity watched as Durak swam forward to grab the ring. As he did so, he felt an overwhelming rage from the entity. From his Zenethia symbol pendant, he felt a smaller but defiant energy that made the entity faulter. Then in a rush of water, Durak and the item were ejected out from the water and back onto the ice.
Together, the party fled from the breaking ice back to the coast. They took refuge in a nearby cave, where Durak attempted to discern the effects and purpose of the green ring item, but was unsuccessuful.
Though they were successful in retrieving the item, on the way southwards towards Endor they chose to not return the item to Maalik, instead seeking to investigate it as a potentially dangerous artifact. Once they returned to Endor, Durak hid the green ring in his family home and planned to seek the guidance of the preists of Endor's Temple to Zenethia .
