Session 00 – The Gathering

General Summary

• Players were introduced to The Gathering, a yearly ceremony where all the tribes gather together at the foot of Talin's Peak that dominates the center of The Basin, and on the last night all youth deemed ready are marked with the Sigil of Radiance and participate in a vigil over the massive bonfire as a coming-of-age ritual
• The party defeated Barleth, Quarte, and Egbart in the staff dueling competition, made some rivals
• After receiving their sigils, applied as a charcoal marking to the top of each hand, the party decided to take the second watch of the bonfire
• The party, on going to sleep, were shown a vision of a light-wreathed child a cave crying, frightened, and alone, begging you to help them and not to go - the vision moves out of the cave to show the peak of the mountain
• After revealing your dream to the elders, who discovered that your marks would not come off, you were tasked with ascending the mountain to confront your vision
• On scaling the mountain, you discover the cave from your dream and enter, finding the child who emerges from the crystal shard, the only one you could see in several unfilled niches in the wall
• The child reveals himself to you as Sov, and reveals to you that while he has held back The Mire so far, he is weakening due to the absence of his siblings, who should be resting in the empty niches
• You were tasked with finding his lost brethren's shards so that they may be reunited and push back The Mire
• To aid you in your search, Sov brings forth Abek from the fresh water pool to accompany you and guide you towards the missing shards
• Charged with this quest, you leave the cave and are approached by three figures from the darkness
