Ortus Tatravellan
Truestone Consul
A particularly obstinate member of the Alarith temple in Ymetrica’s Glib Stretch region, Ortus Tatrevellan has had a hand in securing several Lumineth cities and outposts over his brief 170-year career. More than an unyielding combatant, he also serves as an envoy for the Alarith, establishing contact with mountain spirits and mountain-dwelling mortals in realms beyond Hysh. The Glib Stretch’s Stonemage has recently tasked him with establishing connections in the Heaving Mountains of Ghyran.
Prior to arriving in The Lustrare River Valley, he was renowned in Chamon for establishing an unusual truce between Lumineth prospectors and the Bronzebite Mawtribe who dwell in the region. Shortly after their arrival, the Alarith Stoneguard and Mawtribe each developed a grudging respect (or the closest feeling to respect with which an aelf can regard an ogor) for the other’s monumental durability during their initial skirmishes.
After determining it would be impossible to rout the ogors from the area with their current numbers, Ortus approached their immense tyrant Garrul Bronzebitten to establish a mutually-beneficial trade deal. After all, what happens to the corpses and inferior equipment of the human, duardin, or beastman the Lumineth would slay in establishing their new territory would be of little concern to them.
Spiders in the Night
The Vurm-tai who follow the great worm have found themselves in a particularly sticky situation as they have to pass through the Forest of Gorch. Meanwhile, the grots that call the forest home have raised the alarm and now make their way towards the beast…
The Dawnbringer Crusade of Nassollotyl
A great worm is gaining on the Nassollotyl. The scholars, seers, and navigators of the city have all determined that the creature will pass right between Nasson and Neolotl. As such the leaders of the city have declared that a Dawnbringer Crusade should be formed, mounting the beast, and taking advantage of the beast’s now-roving Geomantic Nexus. Much is needed to accomplish this for the beast will move quickly through the area, and the window for action will be short indeed.
Act One: Path of the Great Worm
The great worm that now makes its way towards the two god-beasts, Nasson and Neolotl, began its life on the Amber Steppes. These rolling grass strewn hills and expanses of battered stone are where many of the Great Worms of Ghur make criss-cross on migrational paths...
