The Summit on the Mote

In response to strange occurrences in the nations surrounding the Mote, the leaders of the nations decided to hold a summit of interested parties to discuss their experiences. Baron Danthar of Banor would be pleased to host the Summit, as Bavarin has one of the few entrances to the central Mote which is not blocked by difficult hills and mountains. Angleside, Aden Shahn, Bavarin and Teldor would all send representatives. Even Lady Maikan of Sadav and an emissary from Katorba, Marshall Zahn, would participate. The meeting was set and the noble retinues arrived.

The meeting was quite boisterous with information from each of the nations being told with countless interruptions from nobles listening in. Nevertheless, the Summit was successful in telling the stories and experiences which each of the main four nations had endured. Each nation had several contributors, but there was at least one who spoke primarily for each.

* **Baronet Realnore** of *Grey Horn* spoke mostly for Angleside. He and **Lady Sylea Rhiddar** of *Greenedge* investigated several hamlets along the West Mote Hills. They found that the hamlets of *Illargen, Far Bomar, Great Bend* and *South Gate* were all destroyed and transformed by creatures from other worlds.
* For Bavarin, the party spoke up about their travails in *Canthur* and at the *Ruins* in the Ysgold Wood. Also Beast of the March, **Raban Thor**, told his tales of how **Na'awoorda**, Chief of the Athro Valley Horse Folk, was lost in another dimension while trying to save his people.
* **Lady Lisbet Alurian** of *The Breaks* told a harrowing story about *Bodrin* and *West Eye* in Teldor.    Lives were lost and continue to be lost as adepts in Teldor directly confront sky funnels disrupting the very fabric of the area. **Lord Cylyar Ddain** of *Cyfail Home* also told his story of running into an old hunting friend who had been transformed into some strange dripping eye that gathered flesh and spat out horrible magic to destroy all around him.
* **Lord Ainish Fahnde** of *Nourth, Aden Shahn* told the sad stories of what they encountered in *Rossin* and *Lythang.*     Beams from dreams or other dimensions were using orbs and skulls as foci, disrupting and destroying the world around them. **Dreamwarden Eleyndor Eseyn** of *Gierthe* saw how the area's destruction was being caused by beings outside the area. Something in the minds of creatures afar, directing their destructive power at points in these villages.

he tales horrified the participants, but galvanized their resolve in helping each other find the source of this threat and destroy it. The party's information about how the Order has contributed to making these *Visages* and using them to destroy places like *Canthur*, convinced the nations' leaders to seek out and dismantle any apparatus that the Order has in their lands, be it Camp or Quarter.

Baron Danthar has requested the party's help in investigating the Abbey that was indicated on the Order's maps. The Baron also offered help by means of five of his guards to help their investigation should they require it. Several other members of the Summit could also use the party's help, but it is now up to the party to determine their direction and fate.
