## Act 1 - Shadows in the Riverlands

Covering the creation of the Tenders of the Hearth and the guild's first struggles, **"Shadows in the Riverlands"** establishes how the world has changed since the end of Legacy. The Aureate Citadel has become much, much more overbearing and oppressive, leading to the events of the Prologue. The young peasant Dale Bull, tragically mistaken as the perpetrator of a gruesome crime, goes on the run from the Citadel with the help of the dwarven noble Nom Golrin'Hephior. On their journey west, they meet up with two others, the deva monk Malory Takiel and the dragonborn sorcerer Kruponi Bufroa, and join together for mutual protection and shared ideals. The fledgling guild must carefully skirt around their pursuers, led by the young firebrand Stess, and make their place in the world, while also slowly uncovering a dangerous occult menace that threatens to envelop the world over.

Following the discovery of the Shadowfell Incursion and their subsequent exiling from the Riverlands, the Tenders of the Hearth receive news that their imprisoned leader, Golrin, has been kidnapped and enslaved in the city of Saton far to the south. Journeying to the city, they find a metropolis of a hundred thousand refugees from various religions, cultures, and creeds; a disastrous mess of poverty, starvation, squalor, and disease ruled by the cruel iron fist of the Cackling Company. Balancing the search for Golrin with their ever-increasing involvement in the struggles of the city's denizens, the Tenders of the Hearth face some of their most difficult challenges yet.
