The introductory campaign of the Heroes Foretold, taking place in early spring of 250 AC in Vaeltaa. Only included Thel and Reginald.

The party, each for their own purposes, ended up in Vaeltaa when the Horse Clans were blockading the town. They discovered a hornet's nest of factors--

  • Special agents from Wyrmhold were attempting to cause chaos so that Wyrmhold would have a justification to take control of the trade routes and town.
  • Certain corrupt Crisial Kingdom agents were taking bribes from everyone and letting everything fall apart.
  • The Horse Clans were seeking after two escapees, one child who was set to be sacrificed to Vetel and her gnomish guardian.
  • A necromancer was making a mess.

The party managed to navigate these waters, rescue the child and guardian, and make (partial) peace with the Horse Clans, which enabled Ad Elementis to finish the overthrow of Vetel the next winter.

They then left for Fort Hope with the two escapees, just ahead of Thel's family.
