Last evening, in Doltenbran, an event happened that may have rocked the foundations of reality. Something has been brought into this plane of existence that may have permanent repercussions for this realm.
It started before sunset when a song and a strange light was seen near the river. The song was in draconic and the light was not natural. Fearing the worst, the Loremaster, as well as other concerned adventurers went to have a look. When they got there, the light and song had concluded but, what was left confirmed the Loremaster's suspicion that summoning magic had taken place there. Just then, the song and light resumed at the Market Square. This time the song was in Sylvan, but, again, by the time the adventurers got there, the summoners had left. What was left was strange inscriptions coded on the fountain in a mixture of Abyssal, Draconic and Sylvan. Unfortunately none of them had enough knowledge to decode the symbols even after translating the words.
The glow and music, this time in Abyssal, started again outside the city. By the time the courageous team got there, the ritual had just completed, consuming the human sacrifice and the summoners in a burst of fire. What was left was a humanoid goatman. Some of the adventurers tried to attack it but it withstood all attacks by rapid healing as well as resistance to weapons. Magic could have been affected but the Loremaster advised using it as the Veil was very unstable in this area.
The effect of the Goatman caused a lot of confusion and, while most of the adventurers were confused the goatman left towards the Nergulite Monolith in the Sparrow Woods saying "Bow down towards your God .. or be destroyed when He comes". As it left, it was joined by an Erynes and a Vrock.
"The way I see this" said the Loremaster. "What was summoned I believe is a very old creature, going back to the Dawn of Time, probably an ancient fey creature that is now serving as the Herald of the Conjurer. This may well be the Beginning of the End. Definitely the world is going to be radically changed after this no matter what happens. All I know that we have to try and stop the Conjurer from taking over. It's going to take a lot of brave people and a lot of sacrifices but ... we have to at least try."
"I'm going to reload up all my magic and, if anyone wants me in the next few days ... I'll be in the Kaleb Library. I also intend to consult with the Voice and see what she says. But ... I'm going to stop this somehow ... or die trying."
