Foxglove tree


Vorel Foxglove was married to Kasanda Foxglove and their daughter Lorey.  Vorel built the house, and then 20 years later Vorel died, when his lich ritual was disrupted by his wife; his spirit infused the house and killed his wife and daughter.

43 years after that, Vorel's great-nephew Traver took possession of the house.  Its evil infused Traver, and when his wife Cyralie tried to burn the house down Traver (possesed by the spirit of Vorel) turned the fire on her, burning her and causing her to jump to her death out of the window.  His grief and horror caused Traver to break free of his possession long enough to kill himself.

That was bad times for their children, Sendeli, Zeeva, and Aldern.  The three were taken in by family in Korvosa, but Aldern returned with his wife Iesha a year ago.

Excerpts from Petros Lorrimor's journal

The following notes were circled within Professor Lorrimor’s journal that you were given as part of your inheritance: 12th August, 4697  (10 years ago) My research is progressing well. I recently met with a Holy Warrior who claims to have rescued an individual who had the blood of the undead flowing in his veins. The individual also claimed to have been tortured and was the subject of strange rituals conducted upon him by a group of men who were part of a sect of The Whispering Way. It would appear that my assumptions were correct and that The Whispering Way is more than just a cabal of necromancers. I see that now. Undeath is their fountain of youth. Uncovering their motivation does not place me at ease as I thought it might. Their desire to be eternal simply makes them more dangerous. 27th July 4707  (Current Year) My research into the Whispering Way continues, alas somewhat in vein. The trail that I began to follow almost a decade ago now has grown cold. I have ...

Introduction to the World and Character Creation

New Campaign Notes We’ll play Pathfinder, for the rule set.   Here are the rules: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/ We’ll do stats and all the first session.   Maybe think about who you’ll want to be and what they’re like, and some ideas for a character class and concept.   Make a character that’s generally good, or at least helpful, and that will get along well in a party of adventurers. I’m fine with many ways of generating stats.   Pick the ones you want?   25 build points?   4d6 drop the lowest, 7 times drop the lowest?   3d6 in order but reroll any ones?   You’ve played enough to figure this out. Any character class from the Core, Base, or Hybrid lists with any archetypes are okay, as long as they’re on the SRD: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/ Maybe don't play any of the occult classes?   They're weird.   Also, with the mythic stuff, eventually summoned creatures, pets, mounts, etc. won't be able to keep up, and ...

Citadel Drezen part two, the caverns beneath Drezen

The seven adventurers: Antwon the Cavalier, Kand the Wizard, Torvan the rogue, and Vig the Ninja/Paladin, with their friend Kendra, and new friends Jestak the Barbarian and Joran the Wizard, descend into the tunnels carved underneath the Citadel Drezen.  Joran explains that while the stairs had been dug out and plans found for caverns and mines, the crusaders never got around to completing the lower levels of the Citadel, but the demons with their cheap labor were able to carve an intricate series of chambers, used for nefarious purposes. One of those nefarious purposes was the imprisonment and torture of various Crusaders; the stairs lead down into such chambers.  In the basement an oppressive feeling of chaos and evil suffuses and surrounds Our Heroes - it will be harder to cast spells of goodness and order here.  There is a low susurration of maddening whispers, too low to make out details but enough to distract The Heroes from their task, and to sap a certain measur...
