The Crossroads

In the time of the stonebearers the crossroads held a outpost for trade between members of many races. During the war of the Princes it was used as a waypoint for scribes to carry messages throughout the seven provinces. Now there is not but ruin and desert remaining. It is a crossing of three well traveled trade routes still used by many moving throughout the frontier and as such the Pale Prophet Tavern is a popular stopping point for many merchants and adventurers alike. They say that if you’re looking for adventure or need work in the frontier that the crossroads are often a great place to start. For many traveling through the frontier the crossroads have become both a sanctuary from the dangers of the wild world and a place to rest one’s tired feet before continuing on toward the challenges that lay ahead. You never know who you might run into at the Pale Prophet but all are welcome in its doors as long as they can pay for their ale.

Whether it is mere rumor or perhaps based on some truth, many are talking about what is now being called a great drake movement. Stories range from dozens to hundreds of High Drakes from various communities and cities seen traveling south towards some unknown destination. Those who have asked the drakes are met with vague responses or hostility. Most Drakes claim that they have been “called” or that they are answering to some ordained pilgrimage where others are merely traveling to rejoin with family that have already left before them. Obviously this has caused a great deal of confusion and alarm among the three cities but most of their leaders are too preoccupied with their own domestic concerns to take any further investigation.

Summer is upon us again and as such brings Petrov’s caravan to the great cities. Many artisans within the family circus have been sent out along the major travel routes to scout of the journey as well as spread the news of the excitement the circus will bring this year.

This is the turning point... Violence fills the streets of Simara. Mercenaries and Soldiers from many different factions march across the frontier. The Stonebearer armies gain in number by the day. The nobles of Moarfyre are stirring with uneasy disagreement. As our heroes savor this moment of rest how will their decisions affect these trials in the ever changing lands of Talus.
