What happened
The campaign began during Eldenhold’s Festival of Flame, held twenty years after the Champions sealed Asmodeus away. Kelsynk, Valen, Reese, Grenak, and Mruno arrived as Lady Arabelle Thorne’s guests. Their assignment was essentially to attend politely. Grenak bullied a beer vendor into a discount, Pip Thistledown unveiled his Transmutative Ale, Old Man Griggs muttered that the rings were breaking, and dignity began its swift retreat from the square.
The festival shattered when a frightened boy tried to throw a burning infernal egg into a noble tent. The party intervened, but the crowd saw armed strangers striking a child. Dockworkers surged forward, the Iron Guard moved in, and the square dissolved into smoke, shouting, and broken stalls. Somewhere inside the chaos, time stopped for Valen and a vision showed him cracked silver rings above an impossible well. When reality returned, the party’s first shared decision was not to explain anything. They ran.
