Sartar is freed! But for many rebels, they've seen too much, and can't return to the pastoral life of farming, herding, fishing and hunting. You and your friends have agreed to serve as caravan guards, protecting a group of scholars traveling across the Plains of Prax to the ruins of Pavis.
Player Characters
The group will have five player-characters; here are six to choose from (for those who don't have their own characters).
An exiled Sartarite noble warrior.
A Sartarite Vingan, burning with hatred for the Lunars.
A Grazelander vendref peasant, tumbled into a picaresque life-cycle of terrible events, lucky escapes, and brief episodes of happiness and (eventually wasted) potential. He's a rough and dishonest but appealing buffoon. Traveling to New Pavis to get far away from pirates and the Grazelanders.
An Esrolian priestess, caught up in the whirlwind of civil war and invasions. Sent to New Pavis to start a charity mission.
An Esrolian warrior of Babeester Gor; she's an axe-wielding defender of the Earth and women. Sent to New Pavis to guard Onisla Min (or a charity mission there, if Onisla isn't played).
An Issaries merchant from Mount Passant, in Heortland. He's from an urban background (at least, compared to the Sartarites).
The Stargazers
"We are followers of Buserian, the Sky-writer and Third Son of Yelm. I am Delvin, a Stargazer from Porthomeka in the Holy Country -- this is my wife Thrana, and here is our servant Porkins. I am on a mission to the lands where Yelm rises, to the East as you would say. My specialty is history and cartography, but I have spells to analyze magics and to direct myself on a true course. We aren't skilled at riding anything besides horses or zebras, though."
If asked about his mission's goals, Delvin will reply, "Our homeland has been attacked by sea-pirates and other raiders several times in recent years; we hope to obtain knowledge or magic to drive them off."
Their seasonal holy day is in Stasis Week (they just completed it on Clay Day), but want to observe a minor holy day each week (probably at Tourney Altar during the trip). In appearance, they are sort-of brown-skinned humans; the men are both wearing yellow robes, while Thrana wears white. They speak Esrolian, Heortling and Tradetalk with an Esrolian accent; they wear Esrolian robes, and carry short swords and composite bows.
-
Delvin: husband of Thrana, and leader. CHA 18.
-
Thrana: wife of Delvin. CHA 16.
-
Porkins: servant. CHA 10.
Initial Setting
Winds Day, Stasis Week, Earth Season, in the 1625th year of the Sun ... the Dragon Rise occurred 22 days ago, on Clay Day of Harmony Week.
Our Heroes are gathered at Exile's Stead (sometimes called Barbarian Town), on the western edge of Prax. It's a town of about 5,000 people in Storm Season, but only about 2,500 in warmer months. The Pol Joni control the town, and do not allow other Praxians within the stone-and-wood walls. About half of the permanent population are refugees from Sartar; many will be leaving in the coming seasons, to return to their homes in Dragon Pass.
The population 20 years ago was only about 1,000.
It's Orlanth's holy day for Earth season: Defense Day, especially holy to Vinga. The Storm-tribe people call on Orlanth and Vinga for protection against trolls, outlaws, and Praxians. The priests conduct divination rituals to determine when Valind's winds will begin to blow in Dark Season: the answer was Clay Day of Death Week. Minstan, Yalanda, and Fargin were at the Wind Temple much of the day -- as they expected to be traveling across the Plains of Prax, the arrival of winter storms was of some interest.
The Stargazers' group has approached an Issaries merchant, Tadnor, to travel with a group of capable people, across the Plains of Prax. Delvin paid half the price of zebras for the player-characters.
