Game Intro
It is early summer on Northern Pretaeus and the storms of spring are passing. With each new day the sun stays up longer and the days are getting warmer. The wide and open grass and croplands are in full bloom covered in greens, golden browns, purples, reds, and many other colors as plants burst from the earth. Large herds of cattle, goat, sheep, and other livestock roam their grazing lands feeding and birthing. Overhead a pristine blue sky is dotted with small fluffy white clouds that billow and float. Small flocks of birds can be seen returning to the lively land to feed and roost. The citizens of N.Pretaeus are out walking among the streets with smiles on their faces. It seems that the changing seasons has lifted the spirits of the people.
In each of your towns/cities you notice a string of fresh letters popping up in areas of high traffic, business, as well as taverns and inns. A single piece of parchment is pinned open. Elegant and flowing cursive writing can be seen on the inside of the 'roll' The letter is a plea from the noble family of House Hedrick. As you skim over it, it seems that the house is reaching out to sellswords and volunteers from the surrounding area for help. Your initial impression is that Lady Isabelle Hedrick has personally penned, signed, and sealed each letter. At the end of the letter she provides a single point of contact for those wishing to help her. A Lord Thomas Hedrick, her brother. Who is waiting in the farming community of Seive, the letter reads.
"Adventurers -
I am saddened that I must pen such a request for help. Especially from those who do not call my lands home. The people of my lands have been suffering for far too long while they bravely and somewhat silently have been defending their homes. We grow tired of the fighting, suffering, and dying. I fear that without help, and soon. My lands will become overrun, barren, and desolate. Leaving my people with a single choice of fleeing. So I sit here with a heavy heart, worried about those who have put their trust in me. House Hedrick needs champions who are willing to take up the fight on our behalf, and free my people from the hardships that have them so beaten down. Help my people reclaim their lands, homes, and towns and I will see to it that you are personally rewarded. Kindly.
