Heritage: The Enemy at the Table

By Nick Huggins
Players: 20
Genre: Fantasy
Legend has it that the races of Man are the progeny
of Anat – The First. Legend tells of how once all men looked the same, and how
Anat cursed his children. The dwarflings would forever be small and stunted,
and hide themselves in caves, below the ground. The wildkin would be cursed to
walk forever in the forests, where they would become as the wild things – red
in tooth and claw. The Bestials would from that moment onwards be cursed to be
beasts of labour: dull-witted but strong in body. Only the Humans would remain
unchanged, and to rule them there would be Humans with the Mark of Heritage.
Humans thus marked would be able to use the power of the Wyrd for protection,
or for war. 
But those are Human legends. And not all the races
of Man believe in them. 
Five years ago, in the Human capital city of Alara,
a Bestial girl called Mara was born with the Mark of Heritage – A blasphemy for
Human religion, and an event which proved the legends could be wrong. She was
killed, but rumors of more Bestials with the Mark have been circulating since.
It is true that many Bestials fled the city following Mara’s death. It is
undoubtedly true that many Bestials are more talkative than they were – perhaps
more intelligent than they were. There are even whispers of a village starting
to be built in the Western Wilderness. A village of Bestials, and Humans who
will not treat Bestials as slaves.
In response to this time of change, WyrdWitches and WyrdWarlocks in
Alara have banded together to form a council with sages and some nobles.
Together they call themselves the Dark Assembly. Their response to these times
of change is to call together all the nations of Kandra and discuss what can be
made of the situation. Through cunning, some deceit and a surprising amount of
luck they have succeeded in bringing together many representatives from other
parts of Kandra to talk.
