- Employer & Mission
As reports from the front indicate yet more bad news for the Western Kingdoms, Elvish spies report yet more bad news:
The Drow artificer and chronomancer Daalgish the Angle Taker, is reported to have opened the Navel on Cthon, a dread portal closed aeons ago by both Elvish and Drow casters over 30 millennia ago.
It is believed that the Drow intend to use the Navel to “Open a New Front†in their current war.
Elven seers regard the opening of the Navel as “total insanity†given the Navel holds the cursed Elven city of Halophiles, believed to imprison the Horror known as ‘Skoll, the Waiting Betweenâ€.
The mission:
1. Discover how opening the Navel will support the Drow ‘logisticallyâ€
2. Kill Daalgish
3. Close the Navel
4. Defeat the Horror (if necessary)
5. Loot Halophiles if possible – several Elven artefacts, possibly valuable to the war may be present.
When asked by the Drow high Command, exactly what he had intended to accomplish for the war by opening the Navel, Daalgish is alleged to have said “Well it, it’s been 30 thousand years since anyone used the…... what could possibly go wrong?â€
Daalgish has opened the portal near a small river village near Luring.
