The Board of Fate Mission 1A Date Posted: 1 Sarimiere 1524 HC I need someone to meet me in the town of Gravesford at the Reluctant Pig. Ask for Gowan.

You can find Gravesford along the eastern banks of the Gher River in the province of Proudglaive. It’s just north of the capital, you can’t miss it.

Mission 1C Date Posted: 28 Pasiphiel 1523 HC My name is Elsa and I come from the small isle of Bleak Holm. Recently some cultists have shown up on our island, and have slowly started converting the populous. I might not have a problem with this, but everyone who joins them has started acting very strange. I don’t know how to describe it, they just seem… off. Worse yet, many others have gone missing, and while some return many don’t. I gathered up as much coin as I could from the island in hopes of hiring the famous Cohort Arcanum to save my small island. I offer 300 emerald quarters, and 9 silver moons to whomever can save my home. Meet me at the Pig’s Oyster Tavern on the isle. Assuming Mother Seriena hasn’t gotten to me, I will be there. Update 25 Sarimiere 1524 HC The Kallanon has become aware of rumours about Leviathan, The Serpent of the Sea and Storms being talked about by the people of Bleak Holm Isle. Leviathan is one of the ancient Primodrial Gods, the mortal enemies of The Cohort Arcanum! Any discussions of him is enough to warrant our attention! The Kallanon hereby offers a reward of 100gp to any group who can mange to put an end to these fishmen, and ensure Leviathan's name is no longer whispered on the island. Update: See the logs for session 6 Update 9 Roelir 1524 HC Some of the dead have returned to life on Bleak Holm Isle! They now walk, help, and participate with maintaining the village. We are still worried about the last of those fish people, but it would appear our luck has finally turned! -Noeva Mission 1D Date Posted: 5 Sarimiere 1524 HC I bring you a promise of great riches, and fortune. I have discovered a cache of treasure in the Harrowmarsh during one of my expeditions into the land. Unfortunately the old temple that is housing the treasure has become the nest for a colony of giant ants! I am looking for a group of adventurers to help me sneak into this colony, and take what we can. Be aware that I will only be accepting those who can stay quiet, and are light on their feet! Between The Hydra, the ants, and the dozens of other beast and awnsheghlien that inhabit the swamps of the Harrowmarsh I don’t want to be seen or heard. I am offering the group who helps me half of the treasure that we manage to return with. If you are interested ask for Elishéva at The Cat’s Cradle in the city of Ber Dairas. If you can’t find it then you aren’t worth my time! Update The Cohort Arcanum has been informed by Elishéva that she has showed a few of our members a way to the ant mound. She has however expressed some reasonable concern, and updated the terms of her offer. She now offers 70% of the treasure to any group who can make the venture without her, and 30% to any group who makes the venture with her. In either case the woman demands 'first pick' of the spoils. OOC Note: This mission has the potential to unlock Cerilia’s version of Tabaxi! Elishéva has successfully raided the temple, and received all of the
rewards herself! She will be keeping 100% of the treasure now! Mission 1E Date Posted: Winter Solstice, 1523 HC The Great Protector of the Couladaraight, Rhiana Waynmuun humbly requests the assistance of The Cohort Arcanum. Recently the ancient sidhelien woods have seen a higher than usual number of undead in the province of Newyth. It would appear some remnants of The Newyth Massacre have begun to stir, and skeletons roam the lands. Her highness is offering 40 silver leaves (SL) per head of a skeleton brought back to her men. Adventurers must be willing to subject themselves to a Zone of Truth when returning the skulls. Update: The sidhelien of the Couladaraight have been informed by The Cohort Arcanum that a necromancer from the lands of The Vampire has been found as the source of this necromancy. This shall not be allowed! Any members of The Cohort who can bring The Great Protector the head of this necromancer will awarded with a reward of 100 golden flowers.

The Baroness Marlae Roesone is offering a fine some of 250 golden crowns to whomever can bring these bandits to justice. Dead, or alive. The bandits have been slain by Lord Saxton's loyal, and honorable knights. As such The Cohort Arcanum's assistance is no longer required. Mission 1G Date Posted: 17 Talienir 1524 HC The lords of the Krakennauricht have pooled their coin together in hopes of recruiting someone brave enough to take on this monumental task.

The Herzog also offers a warning. These creatures are no ordinary goblins! They are extremely intelligent, and fight using tactics and cunning. Even seasoned adventurers are warned to use caution. Mission 1I The King of Drachenward, Mor Drachen is requesting assistance with the gnolls raiding his lands from the Gnoll Fells. The creatures have become more than a slight pain to the people of Drachenward. Adventurers are expected to report back to The Cohort with the heads of these gnolls unless they are confident enough to find the king’s traveling court (or the Soldaten Council). The king is offering a reward of 40 golds(G) per gnoll head. Adventurers are warned to be wary as 4 dragons live in Drachenward. Though not all are evil, Aragnak the red and terrible is known to hunt in the domain. Update: Queen Freya Drachen has returned from the dead, and taken control of her family's domain once more. She is still honouring the Mor Drachen's offer to deal with the gnoll threat. Update: Urkenhame was destroyed by The Red Dragon. The people of Drachenward no longer trust The Cohort Arcanum as news spreads that they were responsible for its destruction. Mission 1J Date Posted: 1 Haelynir 1524 My mother Tsarina Marisha Rodelovisk is currently going through a crisis as to who to elect as her heir. Obviously it should be me, her first born child, but my younger sister Mara is trying to convince her that she should be the one instead! You see my younger sister believes in torva, and I am a true believer in nona. I'm looking for a group of adventurers who are willing to teach her that the new ways are better! I'm offering 1,500 greater grivnas to anyone who can ensure that I end up with my rightful place on the throne!

I will be offering a reward of 1500 golden stallions to whomever can bring him back alive. -Banira bint Hamilah el-Reshid, Sultana of Binsada Mission 1L Date Posted: 1 Haelynir 1524 The Great Baroness of Roesone, Marlae Roesone is once again requesting the aid of The Cohort Arcanum. On the previous eve whilst traveling about Baroness Consort Noeva Roesone was attacked on the streets of Proudglaive! She was only saved by the grace of the guards! Had they arrived even a second later she surely would have perished. Normally such an attack would have been assumed to be simple thieves, but when they attacked the lady the brigands shouted "That's her! Kill her!" The Baroness is requesting the aid of The Cohort Arcanum to help protect not just her wife, but all members of her court. She is offering 300 golden crowns if nothing comes of their duty during the month, 600 additional golden crowns in hazard pay if their skills become necessary, and finally an additional reward of 1,200 golden crowns to anyone who can root out the perpetrator behind these acts!

The king's men have as of yet not been able to fell the foul beast. Be warned this troll has been seen spewing forth both acid, and flames from its mouth! In addition to Sharpclaw's unusual abilities it also appears to be extremely intelligent for a troll. Be cautious when hunting! It is known by the name Sharpclaw to the locals. Mission 1N Date Posted: 17 Anarire 1524 HC King Varri Haraldsson seeks the aid of The Cohort Arcanum with some pest control in the city of Hollinǥholmen. The Sewers underneath the city have become infested with rats, and it's starting to become a problem on the surface. The damned rats don't seem to be behaving normally, and ordinary rat catchers have had no success in culling their numbers. Worse yet the rats are engaging in coordinated raids of the city's food stores. So far the infestation has no spread to the upper city, but at this rate it's only a matter of time! The king is offering 5,000 golds to anyone who can get rid of the rats. Update: The king's men have helped beat back the swarm, but the rats still plague the city! Update: The monsters have been pushed back by The Cohort Arcanum, but are still only being kept in check! Update: The Cohort Arcanum have gathered new information, and have a spy amongst their ranks.

A reward for valuable information may still be given if sufficiently new information is brought forward. Mission 1S Date Posted: 9 Deismir 1524 HC The Council has read in the logs of a mysterious bird made of fire in the Hjolvarian province of Hruthjik.

The Council has decided to put forth 500gp towards this cause! Tax free!

This village of about 75 people or so is the first of its kind in this previously thought to be uninhabited region. The Kallanon asks that a group of adventurers go there to establish ties, and a friendly relationship. Be aware that this region is quite odd. Apparently the people there have their own sets of gods that come from a far eastern continent. They are strange folk with strange customs.

A reward of 500 gold pieces is being offered to any group who can establish more friendly ties. Update: Relations have been established, but a reward still stands for those who can continue to strength relationships.
