The Stormreavers Adventure
Strange occurrences have plagued the
eastern border of the Ios for
years. Dark, unnatural storms keep appearing
over the Elven homeland a by-product of a planar rift caused by magic gone
horribly awry during the The Rivening. This distorted veil of twisted
enchantments affects the regions north of the mountain
border, where patches of eerily bleak mists blanket the
landscape. Rumors suggest that areas within these mists
contain hidden doorways into the Shadowfell.
Beyond this area, a reclusive league of @cyri crafters possess knowledge vital to opening a gateway to the lost city of Lynshynal. But without solving the mystery of the mists and dealing with the warring factions within, the only chance to return Lynshynal to its rightful home will be forever lost.

• Any spellcasting appears to corrupt the surrounding plant life. Grass, shrubs, and plants die wither and die out, while larger plants such as bushes and trees become sickly and discolored. This effect occurs in a radius equal to 5 feet per level of the spell cast.
• Spells that summon plant life, such as entangle, always summons dead, withered, or pock-marked flora. This is cosmetic only and does not alter any of the spell's effects. • Spells that summon animals, such as find familiar or find steed, summon creatures that look diseased, weakened, or sickly. Again, this effect is entirely cosmetic.
• A creature restored to life by a revivify spell is extremely sick upon awakening, suffering one level of exhaustion. This can be removed through normal rest or can also be treated with a lesser restoration or similar ability that cures disease.
These cosmetic effects can be used at your discretion to provide flavor while the party is within this tainted region. Attempting to Leave
If the players continue along the path given to them, or if Mesika is there to guide them, they head directly towards Kayebo Village.
