a timeline and analysis of events on the world of Faerun, and Beyond.

this makes me want to run a dungeon crawl again:

Party 5.0 will represent 8 different geographic regions of Faerun -- none of them Tilverton. Also, the Blood of Tilvernus is no longer present. Only two witnesses remain of the Winter's Edge festival that initiated the long road to glory. Including the three new additions, the campaign has produced 12 unique player characters so far. What new, future souls may join the present struggle remains to be seen.

The Fellowship Is Broken

Having acquired the proof needed to clear themselves of the murder charge, the party accepted an offer from the shadowy K'Sh'Aal to eliminate the would-be crimelord who framed the party. Given the discovery made after the raid on Grieson's heavily protected auction, it is unclear if the party succeeded.

Meanwhile, Ian and Gregory have decided to return to Tilverton to deliver an altered version of events: namely, that Castillion died in Shadowdale, when in fact he did not. On the eve of a rumored message arriving from the East, the party has been invited to join the mysterious Harpers; it is unknown if they will accept.

What is known is that the original fellowship that departed from Tilverton is broken, and that three strangers may be joining the remaining heroes as they take their first steps towards entering the ranks of those who hope to achieve the healing -- or, perhaps, the ultimate restoration -- of Faerun.
