Hallorn & the Tangles

Coldeven (III) 592 - Grasen & Hallorn

Scavenging in destroyed Grasen, the heroes meet 3 northern bandits: Padair, Doirin and Horas.

After some negotiations, the trio guide them to Hallorn in the Bandit Kingdom of the Tangles. There they are rejoined by Father Selred who was trying to find them.

In Hallorn they encounter the sage Algorthas, the Earl's Frostgrave Cultists and Ruga, a ragged man who gives Alsten the opportunity to meet the elusive Lycan Brotherhood in the  nearby village of Erien. The heroes decide to first help Algorthas by investigating the secrets of Krelont Keep, Hallorn's citadel.

Frostgrave Cultists


In the dungeons of Krelont keep they find the Mad Marquis Querchard Qualtaine locked in a cell. He is victim of the Malgoth, a mysterious evil entity whose purpose or goals are unknown. Selred defeats the possessed Marquis, granting him the final rest he so badly yearns for.

Leaving Hallorn, they proceed to Erien to meet Krevil Mawr (and his pet wolf Curr), second only to Cruben Blackwolf in the Lycan Brotherhood. Krevil secretly hopes the heroes will kill Cruben so he can take over the pack. Everyone ends up dying in this botched plan, except the Fenris Wolf and Sharyl who kills Cruben in-extremis.

Wealsun (VI) 592 - La Redoute The merchant caravan, with a hundred refugees in tow, makes its way to Castel Elenestra , south of Tusarne . There, a large contingent of  Knights of the Hart (1500 strong) are assembling to head north and stamp out the Goblinoid menace. At the castle the heroes meet a tipsy Bishop Bombakar : the chaplain and his fellow members of the knightly order are celebrating the battles to come.

Sire Chevalier Orian de Cervange Orian is the son of Lady Arielle de Russiant. Lady Arielle was defiled by Orcs in an unfortunate border raid incident, leaving her pregnant with Orian. Disgraced, she vowed never to marry and have more children, becoming a Nun of the Holy Sepulchre and devoting her life to God. Touched by her devotion and the sadness of her plight, longtime friend, admirer/paramour Lord Gérualde de Cervange adopted young Orian, training him to become a knight. Some say true compassion and love motivated the Lord, foul tongues of courtly intrigue prefer to whisper Lord Gérualde wanted an exotic trophy champion to impress and foster attention at court jousts and other social events.
