The Alterparty

**The Alterparty** is the overall term for a series of separate parties which enter and explore the Gates of Artseindard. Each individual party is referred to as a "generation", numbered by their episodic appearances in Tales from The Gate.

## Generation 1 - Luster Lost

The first generation to appear in Tales from The Gate, and also known as the Treasure Hunters. They entered the Gates of Artseindard deep in a Sarrukh ziggurat and encountered The Labyrinth. Upon reaching its end they also encountered Degare Engelbreit.

## Generation 2 - Their Open Arms

A group of hexblade warlocks unified in the search for their patron, together being The Pact.
