Year of Rogue Dragons

Eight years have passed since the fall of Zhengyi, yet King Gareth Dragonsbane has not enjoyed the fruits of that victory. The Baron of Morov, Dimian Ree, has moved his Baronial Seat to the capital of Damara, Heliogabalus, and has set himself up as an “alternative” to the paladin king. He enjoys the support of William, Duke of Arcata, and Sylvia, Baroness of Ostel. The Duchies of Sorovia and Brandiar wait for Gareth to appoint new Dukes, but the alliances against him have been effective in blocking any new supporters of Dragonsbane from their titles. Vaasa is still a land of monsters. Eastern Vaasa still is controlled by tribes of orc and goblins, while the western Galena Mountains play home to several giant clans of all types. Zhengyi’s henchmen and acolytes still haunt the land, gathering forces in their pursuit of power. Another adventuring group, led by Kraig Karridian, retook the ruins of Moortown in Vaasa and began building Karridian Keep. When Kraig was slain on an adventure, his companion, Gareth Mistmaster named himself lord and renamed the castle Mistmoor. The Mistmaster accepts apprentices and provides a safe harbor in an unforgiving land. At the fall of Castle Perilous, dragons began circling the remains of Zhengyi’s fastness. The flights of dragons are gone, but the fallen fortress is always watched and guarded by two dragons, one of Tiamat’s dragons and one of Bahamut’s dragons. Yet the riches and power still trapped inside the ruins continues to attract adventurous souls.
