For The King: The Army of The Shadar-kai

[This campaign is reserved for those currently in the game]

After dealing the crushing blow the the Lich and his phylactery, the party exposed much of Tobi's plans. King Barlock was now a puppet of this Tobi and much of the empire's secrets were being siphoned from Barlock.

The natives of Grayga had been drove from their lands by the might of the Utaro armies, but they have not crumbled. In fact the area known as the Scarincien Gap is proof enough of the capabilities of these Shadar-kai. Army after Utaro army fell upon rocks at the feet of their greatest cities within Scarincien, though the Utaro empire was able to secure the lands close to the Vein River.

Tobi's journals speak of inspiring the Shadar-kai to pour forth from their cities and rightfully reclaim the land of their ancestors, the territory of Grayga.

The scribblings of Tobi speak of gates that open into other planes of existence or are merely prisons to things best left unseen by human eyes. He simple leaves the comment, "perhaps I shall find a way to open them to incite chaos".

Assassination is underlined by Tobi and prior to this word is the names of many important figure heads within the empire.

The notes, speak of isolating cities and territories by disrupting trade within the empire. "Perhaps I can utilize these rebel's blind hatred to force the empire's economies to collapse", Tobi has scribbled.

But the journal's were not to be the only piece unearthed this day. A secret chamber resonated with the energy of conjuration magic. This energy consisted of four individual rifts that lead to the following locations: Deslana, Yarnoch, Bel'sira, and Jarlsburg. Neil was able to discern that only one of these rifts had been used recently and it could be possible to reopen it.

The rift into Deslana lead into the heart of a Shadar-kai army that Cael estimated seven thousand strong. After making short work of the guards next to the rift, the group set off into the encampment. After Grawr stealthed to where the man Nakata Tobi was speaking to this army, the party was convinced to "nip this problem in the bud" and take out Tobi. Unfortunately, when the party arrived Tobi's had left the area and in his stead were several pairs of eyes surrounding the PCs.
