They worked their way through the catacombs and discovered that a group of dragon cultists searching for the location of the fabled Pool of Radiance after raising an undead army. Doomguide Yovir sends Cassyt to assist a group of heroes’ venture into the crypts to find the missing acolytes and assess the reports of undead roaming around. Strange things start happening in Valhingen Grave Yard. They befriended a small girl by the name of Elisandre and with her help discovered that the cult of the dragon was playing a ruse on villages sending undercover followers posing as mad men then striking from their ship to amass treasure. A group of adventurers set out and tracked the problems down to a remote island off the Iron Route trade road. Shortly after the lighthouse is restored trouble sprouts on the moonsea as a tales of a ghost ship striking coastal villages begins to spread with madman whispering about the eyes of the dracolich. Seargent Grim was brought to justice after Igans death. It was soon discovered that the two found a Jade Temple beneath the island searching for cults and unleashed a curse for trying to steal from it. A group is sent to investigate the ruined island on the brink of desertion from the House Sokol to find out the quartermaster Igan Sokol has gone missing after starting to hangout with the Blackfist Seargeant Grim. Not long after the adventurers arrive the lighthouse has been extinguished at Sokol Keep. The Cult has now set their sights on Phlan, with no significant authority to stop the cult other power groups in the Realms – The Harpers, Order of the Gauntlet, Emeral Enclave, Lords’ Alliance and even the Zhentarim – must unite to stop the cult from fulfilling its dark purpose as they begin to make contacts and take control(DDEX01-01). They are sweeping from town to town, laying waste to all those who oppose them and gathering a hoard of riches for their dread queen. The Cult of the Dragon has begun amassing mass amounts of treasure throughout Faerun for an unknown purpose. For over a millennia it has endured decimation at the hands of its enemies it is decidedly ironic that it now stands on the brink of ruin by its own hand. Phlan is a lawless, shabby remnant of what it once stood for. Each day, more bodies swing from the Stojanow Gate. In turn, they have been declared outlaws by the Black Fist, and any person with a missing ear is imprisoned, tried and hung.
The Welcomers have shifted their goals, and now lash out against the guilds who, in their greed, have abandoned the citizenry. Wages have plummeted, prices of goods and services have skyrocketed, and worst of all-construction has stopped.
The guilds now vie for control over the city to compensate for their lost incomes. The Lord Regent still acts as the Knight Commander of the shrinking Black Fist and has declared martial law upon the city. The Knight Commander’s grasp on the throne is tenuous at best, however. The Lord Protector left no heir, so Knight Commander Ector Brahms was declared the Lord Regent of the Cinnabar Throne. In 1488 DR, Lord Protector Anivar Daoran died unexpectedly in what, for all intents and purposes seemed nothing more than a construction accident during renovations on Castle Valjevo.
