The
Fey
Despite Belladonna's warnings, the fey of Wyrmwood Court have been more or less benign and helpful.
The Seer gave them information, though it was quite cryptic.
Sweet Shimmer seems very nice, but Midna has yet to use any of the gifts that she has been given. What favor will Sweet Shimmer ask for?
Buttons and Sundrop are the two brownies the group has met. They seem benevolent as well, but is there more behind the sweet honey-colored eyes?

Temple
Dungeons
The series of temples found below Stoneblood Manor are full of strange symbols, ominous streaks of blood, and corruption. Not to mention the rift that opened when Nira dropped her blood on the crystal altar. Now that they all connect to the cemetery, how do they relate? James seemsa unaware of their existence, but could Blitherby be involved with the corrupt Shinze splinter sect under the manor?

Children
Missing
Children
Balvonier has had two girls go missing over the past year. They both disappeared after a festival, both the same age (11 years old), both competed in the festival talent competitions. Tensions are rising as a new festival starts, and a few citizens want to blame the fey. Wyrmwood Court has charged the group with finding the girls. New information from the Seer reveals that children around the Roueda have gone missing, and Thornyside may hold clues. With Adele named as the next victim, they made a faerie bargain, but will it protect her?
House
Glasserune
House
Glasserune
The Baron's death was suspicious to say the least. The "family curse" is apparently real, and darker than imagined. Who took the family sword and why? Why are there abandoned and hidden temples under the castle? How will James choose between honoring his promise to his love and his father's promise to the Tanglewoods? Blitherby's strange almost-Shinze braid and the strange temples under the house make him a prime suspect--but what did he do?
Toxic
Waters
Toxic
Waters
What is creating the evil pollution of the waters in the temples below Stoneblood Manor? Why are there undead creatures re-animated with this acidic slime? What is the source of this water? Furus gave a sample to Yvaine Stormhold at the Bubbling Candle Apothecary and found that it is part acid, part necrotic damage, and an unknown poison. Tey sent the water away to see if they could find more answers. At the Abbot House, the well is filled with the same water, and Sundrop says that the well overflowed and then evil plants came, trapping her in the yard.
Corrupt
Shinze Temple
Corrupt
Shinze Temple
Blitherby's yellow braid had black beads, which is sacrilegious for any true follower of Shinze. This combined with the strange corrupted type of Shinze temple below the manor is strange.
What about those weird notes?
Opening
The Void
Opening
The Void
Two rifts have opened into other worlds, once in Stoneblood Manor in Baron Hanburn's room, and once in the temple under the manor when Nira's blood touched the crystal altar.

Where do they come from?

Vampires
Blethela and her companion are chilling to encounter. We know that Blethela was mentioned as the Stoneblood who was engaged to the Glasserunes, is she back for revenge? Why do they hate Nira's god and the fey so much? What do they have to do with the fire temple, the cemetery, and everything else suspicious in this town?
Blue
Kracken
Blue
Kracken
This symbol has shown up several times now. Belladona saw it under the mountain, the goup found it on a deck of cards in the corrupt Shinze temple, and again in Thornyside, in the Hightown Church and Tanglewood Manor.
Lady
Tanglewood
Lady
Tanglewood
Blitherby's letter was quite suspicious. Now that Elaine's relationship to James as his fiance has been revealed, how does that impact the baron's death? Should James honor this contract or follow his heart? The group agreed to speak to the Tanglewoods, but when they arrive in Thornyside, the Lord and Lady are gone, and they are told that Elaine is not herself, though they have yet to find her.
Visions of
The Future
Visions of
The Future
The Seer gave four of the group a vision. They were confusing, some disturbing, and all hopefully will begin to make sense soon.
​
For now, the group needs to keep them in the back of their mind, see if they can find a parallel, and see if anything starts to fall into place.

Rangers

Rangers
The Abbots: Neil, Jolie, and their daughter Hannah, have been missing about 3 weeks. They are part of the Feyblossom chapter, and moved to Balvonier to investigate the missing children. They were heading to Spindledown in their last message, then no contact. Derek Fennburn is worried about their safety, and this is Belladonna's chance to prove herself. The house seems to be wildly overgrown for only 3 weeks missing, with deadly plants. Inside they found a notebook, outside they found a hidden tunnel.
A Favor For
Sweet Shimmer
A Favor For
Sweet Shimmer
Sweet Shimmer agreed to help the group watch over Adele. She gave them a doll to track Adele through scrying, andtold them she would find someone to watch during the day, as she isn't as powerful during the day as at night.
She also agreed to bring the attacker to the group, but Midna and Nira now owe her a favor. What will she ask for? When will she cash in?
The Star
of the Forest
The Star
of the Forest
The door to the Abbot's home said "Only those freely given the mark of Star of the Forest may enter."
Venus, Belladonna, Adalia, and Carindrina entered with no problem.
What is the Star of the Forest? Is this related to being a ranger or is this related to the Fey?
Hidden
Tunnels
Hidden
Tunnels
In the Abbot's yard, hidden by a tent, was a cave entrance that led to a series of tunnels. Four stone archways marked with letters atop the keystones: S, W, B, T, presumably leading to the four main towns: Spindledown, Weatherby, Balvonier, and Thornyside. Will these be simply tunnels, or will these be portals? How deep do these run? Is this where the Abbots went?

Shadows

Shadows
While traveling to Thornyside, they met Merchant Maurice whose wagon was attacked by a strange shadow and cloaked creatures.
After helping him get on his way, a shadow bloted out of the forest, attacked Venus and Carindrina, then retreated into the forest after seeing the rest of the party. They attempted to follow, butlost the shadow as it headed toward Hightown.

Hightown
Hightown appears abandoned, but Nell Bund tells the group a strange story. There was a party at the manor and afterwards attendees didn't seem right. People were taken from the streets, including her twin sister Alora.
She says they carry lanterns that emit darkness and are attracted to noise. They seem to patrol the area. While the group hasn't met one yet, their exploration of the city was not without peril.
Black Robes
Priests
Black Robes
Priests
When dropping Nell Bund off at Lowtown, there were groups of people cloaked in pure black robes moving through the crowd. Midna suggested finding some black robes and trying to infiltrate the group. When they finally meet, the group is even sketchier in person. They claim to be followers of Liguaquide, that they are helping the town, and blessing the water. When the group attempts to heal the rown, they flee, but not before issue=ing a strange warning: The Devourer will have us all.
Protectors
of the Water
Protectors
of the Water
While being attacked by a Drowned Maiden, the group prayed to the spirit of the water. Wonderous glowing jelly-sifh like creatures came from the canal and defeated her, saving Nira.
​
Adalia thanked them, and they asked her to help save their water. She agreed.
​
Their list of favors owed grows ever longer.
Waterlogged
Memories
Waterlogged
Memories
The people in Lowtown seemed to have had their memory affected by the water that was "blessed" and delivered by the men in black robes. They had no idea time had passed and Carindrina even found a woman who may be pregnant and not aware of it, Furus may have found an orphan...
Thanks to a clever plan by the group involving watreboarding and waterslides, the effects seem to be lifted. But what memories will come back?
Drowned
Maiden
Drowned
Maiden
Without the help of the Agathion, their tryst with the Drowned Maiden may have been much worse. Drowned Maidens can be completely defeated if you bring them their murderer.
​
She is gone for now, but how soon will she be back?
​
Will the group hand over a life to save her soul? Is murder justice for murder?
The Noble
Bloodlines
The Noble
Bloodlines
The group has now met a few more royal bloodlines: The Truewaters and the Trueflames (related houses). The Truewaters, Henley and Mirella look similar to a portrait of James' lat mother. Henley has pledged his help. Should they take it?
Leonora seems more wary of the black robes priests, but she hasn't offered any help? Will these cnnections pay off?
Vampire
Thralls
Vampire
Thralls
The Tanglewood Manor had a small cellar lined with horrible metal cages. With no key hole visible, they recognized the bars were lined with the same blood-keyed spikes as the chest under Stoneblood Manor.
In the cages, they see Alora, but she tells them she is too weak to stand. The vampires have been draining their blood daily until they turn them into Thralls. Nira blesses the room, and three captives are revealed to be vampires already.

The black robed priest called out thet the Devourer will have us all.

Who is the devourer?

How does this relate to the children, the fey, the vampires, or any other mysteries?

Why did it sound so ominous?
