THE CAMPAIGN UNFOLDS...

Before the full onset of winter in early 874, Avish Shandar permanently took residency at his tower in the wilds outside of Hathbell, thereby quietly assuming his office of Captain of Scouts for Lord Maranus, and training his band of followers as the new spies of Hathbell and the Kanosian League. With suspicions of the growing power of the Blackstone Triumvirate thus allayed by the voluntary removal of the ninja elf, Lars St. Morning Glory and Demetrius Hammerhand could rule the Valley of Mazaros and all its dependencies unimpeded by the jealousies of the lords of the Furnorkanasos, and therefore the great wizard and dwarf lord became known as the Duumvirate, the two masters of Castle Blackstone.

Campaign Chronicle

All days of the week follow the Kanosian, as opposed to the Encyclonian or Abbadonian, reckoning. Annamane corresponds to Hebdomon (Sunday), or the day of worship to the Deity, in the Abbadonian Rite. To avoid unnecessary confusion, roman months are retained, although the Encyclonian monthly system has largely replaced the constellation months of the ancient Kanosians."

August, 873: The Nikoloi depart Blackstone for Elvenspire to craft and enchant red dragon scales as armor for Demetrius

12 March, 874: The Nikoloi return to Blackstone empty-handed

Annamane, 26 March, 874: Bishop Nikolos casts the astral spell on the party. Upon entering the Astral Plane, the spirits of the heroes are set upon by a great astral storm, and party is violently separated.

03 April, 874: Having saved the bishop from captivity or worse in an astral city, Demetrius defeats a githyanki scouting party and at last discovers a color pool to Mt. Celestia. The entire party is reunited and reconstituted on the starlit shores of Lunia, the First Heaven.
