The Fate of Elturel

The party descended to the edge of the crater that once was Elturel. After mingling with the survivors of the cataclysm, they decided to leave for Baldur's Gate the next morning, offering their services as armed escorts to those that can afford it. A family of three and a lone merchant agreed to pay 2 gp / person / day for their protection and sustenance. The company was also joined by Emeryck, Galserys and Larkam. Emeryck wishes to get to Baldur's Gate as soon as possible to report the loss of Grad Duke Ultan Ravengard. Galserys has shown interest in tracking down the cult that has decimated her band of thieves. Larkam left for the same reason as most people in and around Elturel: without the protection of the Hellriders and The Companion the region will likely become unsafe to live in. The first milestone on the road to Baldur's Gate is Fort Morninglord, an outpost of the Hellriders located on the banks of the Chiontar river. The party hoped to acquire provisions for the

  A bandit by the name of Calderis (aka The Dagger), has been robbing merchants between the city-states of Baldur's Gate and Elturel. The two cities finally decided to catch the half-elf bandit, and put out a bounty of 500 gp for her, dead or alive. Delegates of the Flaming Fists (Emeryck Tallvale) and the Hellriders (Tarhun Bignak) met with independent adventurers attracted by the bounty in a tavern in Elturel to decide on how to apprehend The Dagger. Meanwhile, the 50th anniversary of the appearance of The Companion over Elturel were taking place in the town, attracting people from around the region. The festivities also provided a nice backdrop for diplomatic negotiations between Baldur's Gate and Elturel. To this end, the leader of the Flaming Fists, Ultan Ravengard travelled to The City of Two Suns at the head of a small delegacy. --- The PCs found two leads to pursue.

During that time the city was in great peril: it turned out that the leader of Elturel is secretly a vampire lord, and wants to add Elturel to his kingdom of undead. In this desperate hour a young acolyte names Thavius Kreeg prayed to the God Lathander, and his prayers were answered. Lathander gave The Companion to the city, whose light no undead could endure. The people of Elturel elected Thavius Kreeg to be High Overseer (i.e. mayor) of the city, for helping them in their hour of need. Hellriders About 200 years ago, the knightly order operating in Elturel lead a holy crusade into Hell, led by an angel named Zariel. The crusade was a success, and the re
