CritSheetPre-Session Brief

Before Session 5

Terra Incognita

Previously on Terra Incognita

Ishalem erupted in flames when the candle merchant's shop exploded, sending fire racing toward the Urecari Prime Church. Uraban cavalry attacked Tierran civilians as accusations of blame flew, and the party found themselves guiding King Korastine, Anjine, and Mateo through smoke and ambushes to the docks. They reached the royal cog just in time, watching Ishalem burn to ash as the ship sailed away.

The Story So Far

The party began as crew aboard the Fishhook, caught in an ambush off Ouroussa that nearly sparked war between Tierra and Uraba. A fragile peace was brokered through the Edict Line, dividing the world between Aiden's and Urec's descendants, and the party joined a massive pilgrimage to Ishalem to witness its signing. That peace shattered within hours when the city itself was set ablaze during the celebration, and the party escaped with the Tierran royal family as Ishalem fell into ruin behind them.

Open Threads

  • The candle merchant Direc na-Taya sold ornate blue candles claiming they would light the city that night, shortly before his shop exploded.
  • The beggar in the alley spoke flawless Tierran despite Uraban dress and vanished after the wine-sharing celebration, leaving his Cuars behind.
  • The bandit massacre discovered on the road to Ishalem was never explained, with three bodies and no goods taken.
  • Ambassador Gilidan secured Callie's trust and a confession before departing, the nature of which remains unaddressed.
  • Captain Shay killed Villac's brother's agent Fillok and fled north vowing to reach King Korastine with news of the attack, a debt never fully settled.
  • The party is now at sea with King Korastine, Anjine, and Mateo aboard the royal cog, fleeing a burning Ishalem.
