Introduction & Story

Game start

Year 12329

From all corners of the map strange invitations have been sent out to aspiring adventurers. These letters promise Danger, Adventure, Rewards and possibly friendship? The letter is signed by a very infamous name, Xanathar. The name alone is well known but less known is The Beholder Xanathar himself. His lair a mystery and his appearance heavily debated on. But with these letters our adventures had magical guides to Xanathar’s lair and they would have to get a move on as the offer is first come first serve.

Our first 6+1 adventurers arrive within Xanathar’s lair. Declared the victors of his little challenge the Beholder thanks them each individually.
At that moment anyone else who was late had their memories wiped of all The details and information in the letter and the letter itself burned up leaving a fair few people out in the wilderness with no memory of how they got thier.

After introductions Xanathar gives the full scope of his quest. A Demi-Plain known as Brovaria has recently appeared within Felwind’s range and the Beholder wants the party to dive in and plunder Brovaria or all it's interesting secrets and trinkets. Offering massive rewards depending on how much they bring back.
He gives warning that the Plain is a cursed prison for a specific individual but further information is not know by the Beholder.
