Note: This is a placeholder name.

An adventuring group during the Growing Tensions era. First adventure started early Winter 253 AC (late spring 2025 real-time).

== Characters ==

* Finnian : a female [[halfling]] paladin, formerly an acolyte of [[Peor-fala]]. Left the [[Holy Kaelthian Republic]] as it transitioned to theocratic tyranny under the [[Prophet of Law Unveiled]]. Wandered south through the [[Jungle of Fangs]] until she came to [[Tarad'am]].
* Saraya Sea-cove : a female [[Goroesi|archonic goroesi]] druid. Originally of [[Yondar]], she left home idolizing [[Dilligas Husty]], which led her to [[Tarad'am]].
* Eilonwy Stormbringer : a female [[Goroesi|archonic goroesi]] sorcerer. Originally of the nation under the [[Riftwall Mountains|Riftwall]], she was touched by the events at the end of the [[Adversary]] at [[Charn]]. Magical gifts awoken by exposure to [[Anzu]]'s influence. She wandered north roughly following [[Tempus Machina]], eventually taking ship and being captured/enslaved by the [[Ship Folk]], who brought her north, ending up free at [[Tarad'am]].
* Ekeino (meaning "that one") : a female-presenting [[Soul-forged|bark-skin soul-forged]], originally awakened in about 250 AC in the highlands of [[Byssia]] after serving as a shrine guardian at an obscure, mostly abandoned kami shrine for a long (indeterminate) time. Wandered east and south where the wind blew, ending up in [[Tarad'am]].

== Adventures ==

* Took ship with the [[Byssian Expedition]], a trio of ships belonging to [[:Category:Pearl Fleet|Dil's Pearl Fleet]] bound for [[Byssia]] around Cape Dread, serving as adventurers.
* After stopping for final fit-out and supply at [[Aladport]], they acquired charts for the region between the eastern shore of the [[Blood-thirst Wildlands]] and [[Sentinel Island]]. They also found charts for an old tower in the southern [[Serpent Sea]].
* They explored the tower and defeated the undead calling it home.
* They also freed ____, a serpent-kin arcanist who had been "captive" to a group of [[ika-ika]] on the mainland--they had been worshiping him as a god after his small boat was shipwrecked there. They convinced the tribe to worship his boat instead.
* After reaching [[Glorious Waters]], they cleaned out the south-west tower so it could be used as a lighthouse.
** Discovered records written by the previous owner, a [[mkhulu]] researcher (and sexual deviant) pointing to someone experimenting on [[sena'ka]] to the west.
** Also befriended a small nest of crimson drakes (larger, tougher than pseudodragons, with limited telepathy and the ability to track anyone they've met over large distances). One became a "friend" (not quite a familiar) to Saraya.
* Up the coast, they helped a group of goblins who had been raided by shark-kin (mutated shark/human hybrids).
* Made common cause with a military outpost of [[kalasaa]] against the shark-kin city, nicknamed Blood-coral Reef, located in the sargasso "area of no return" that block(ed) the entrance to [[Gap-tooth Bay]]. Lured in some raiders and took their bio-magical guides, which allow ships to ignore the magical/illusion effect of the sargasso.
* Late Silence 253: With the kalasaa, raided Blood-coral Reef. Freed slaves (who had been forced to work on the fortifications and also been transformed into shark-kin), destroyed the psychic projectors that created the sargasso effect, and defeated the queen of the shark-kin. Prevented the kalasaa from killing the reef-builders, twisted folks mutated by the previous resident (a [[Twisted]]-worshiping [[Comiedai|comiedar]], absent for unknown reasons for several years) into sculptors of the living coral that gives the city its name.
