## Synopses

### **Asgard**

#### The War with Niflheim(Concluded)

The Drow land of Niflheim attempted a campaign against Asgard by occupying its former city-state Terranfall. They later teamed up with notorious pirate Felicity Dire to launch an attack on Zephyr. Drow commanders Ine Zau'Undar and Ristel, as well as the Drow matron mother Megaera Zau'Undar, were all defeated over the course of this weeklong battle. Niflheim is now leaderless, and more or less defeated.

#### Gilgamesh and the Medallions

King Gilgamesh of Asgrad has offered to help the rebuilding effort of Zephyr, in return for their help recovering a set of ancient medallions that may be able to bring the gods back. So far, one has been recovered.

#### The Godforged

A mysterious type of creature has emerged: the Godforged. They're usually black and wear masks of bone, taking on the form of a mundane creature, such as a dog, an owl, or a gorilla. They are formed by the absence of divinity, a problem that's been plaguing the land of late. They "eat" divine magic, and tend to be attracted to people connected to the gods.

### Trouble in Camelot

The city of Camelot has been dealing with the aftermath of Morgan le Fay's Rebellion for the last 10 years. The city, but physically and culturally, never fully healed. The last wielder of Excalibur, Arthur Pendragon, has been missing for 11 years. The Round Table makes more power moves every day, searching for the new wielder of Excalibur. Sir Mordred seeks to earn her shot at the sword, despite being denied her cultural right. The Graveyard of Stone is being searched for the keys to The Forest Temple. Bedivere still suffers from the loss of his dear friend Arthur. Problems lie around every corner, which will you tackle first.

### **Gnomera**

#### The M.O.B.B.

The technologically advanced city of Gnomera is constantly under threat by the M.O.B.B., a group of dangerous criminals.Combating this threat is the forces of the H.O.B.B.I.T., Gnomera's mysterious leader. He often requests Tempest's assistance retrieving artifacts from the region's three "cores", which can be used to fight off the mobsters. The H.O.B.B.I.T. has unfortunately been forced underground by the M.O.B.B as they released damning evidence of the ruler's abuse of power, illegal arms deals, and founder-ship of the M.O.B.B.

### The Cloning Catastrophe

The H.O.B.B.I.T formed an imperfect clone of himself. Originally a member of Tempest, Wozka 2 fought alongside the adventurers until he was mysteriously kidnapped by the M.O.B.B. He was being used as leverage against the H.O.B.B.I.T until the adventurers were able to find and rescue the poor clone after his consciousness was transferred to one of the city's inactive Warforged.

### Pure Elements

Within the Gaia Core of Gnomera rules the powerful Pharoh, an elemental giant of incredible power. Angered with the pollution and industrialization of the world, he has begun to amass his armies to break through to Gnomera and bend the world to his will.

### Set's Wrath

The ancient god of storms has awoken and has begun to spread chaos throughout Gnomera. He leads a powerful cult that seems dead-set on taking down the rich and powerful within Gnomera. Little else is known about the god or his cult.

### **Hibern**

#### The Cult of Craov

There's a strange cult that's been capturing members of the both the Winter and Summer Fae Courts for unknown reasons. The Summer Court has hired the Tempest guild to find and free these captured Fae, and discover what the Cult is up to. This plot started fairly recently, so not much is known about the Cult yet, but the Summer Court has counted 20 missing members. The Cult's symbol is the World Tree.

#### The Pillars of Hibern

Some Tempest members discovered that there exist 14 Pillars of Hibern that link Hibern and the Feywild. These were erected before the rise of the Halos. 1 Pillar, in the form of a tree, has been located in the Great Henge, guarded by the Glaistig. The Glaistig has requested that Tempest bring her a new fey to replace her as the guardian of the Pillar. 7 of the pillars are said to have fey guardians, 7 were said to not need them.

### **The Splitways Sea**

#### Felicity Dire (Completed)

A pirate captain by the name of Felicity Dire has been on a stealing streak, trying to obtain vast amounts of Cerrilium, a highly explosive substance. Her crew used it recently to uncover and loot an ancient ruin. Some members of Tempest went on a campaign to find Felicity and her crew to pick them off individually. In retaliation, Dire teamed up with the Niflheim Drow to launch an assault on Zephyr itself. She was killed in the final hours of the weeklong battle.

#### Diplomatic Relations

The inhabitants of the two sides of the Splitways Sea (Obitus and Aquocia) have been at odds for a long time. Obitus has sought the guild's help in improving this relationship, but Aquocia couldn't be less interested. Tempest continues their attempts at diplomacy amidst a budding relationship between Aquocia's prince and Obitus' ambassador.

#### Monster Problems

The Obitus side of the sea has experienced a large increase in hostile creatures, so many that they've been leaking into Aquocia. They've enlisted Tempest's help in eradicating this threat, and finding the source. The prime suspect is a long-thought-dead lich by the name of Bel Cular.

### **The Tense River Basin**

#### Mnuxium Mopo and The Lich

Mopo, an illusionist based in the Tense River Basin, has hired the adventurers of Tempest to help him on his path to the Seated Council. He believes a lich that once ravaged the region has returned once more, stirring up the undead, and if he gains a position of authority, he can actually do something about it.

### **Tombys**

#### The Hive

A swarm of insect/mushroom hybrids have been spotted underground near the city of Tombys. Ayrin, a cleric of Lorethian, has tasked Tempest with delving into their tunnels and destroying them.
