The three elven Capella Brothers ([[Asaug]], Durmundri, and Hygewald) amass an army of undead mutant False [[World Breaker]] abominations to invade the city of [[Inergos]]. The six chosen Champions of Inergos come to the city's defense, aided by a gift of Divine Spark energy from the Inergosian Council. They manage to repel the abominations and defeat the Brothers in their demiplane lair. However, the true mastermind of the invasion, [[Vecna]], steals their Divine Spark energy to complete his true objective: the creation of the ten [[Mutated_Chimera|Mutated Chimeras]]. The Chimeras escape, destroy Inergos, and the era of the Chimera Containment Wars begins. | The three elven Capella Brothers ([[Asaug]], Durmundri, and Hygewald) amass an army of undead mutant False [[World Breaker]] abominations to invade the city of [[Inergos]].

A team of four adventurers was hired by the town of [[Elluz]] to investigate a haunted monastery. The party fought through various undead and puzzled through some magically locked doors before attacking, then freeing, an imprisoned Wailing Spirit who turned out to be the original prophet Elluz. Before their death, the monks trapped her spirit and passed off her seeing powers as their own to facilitate a profitable fortune-telling scheme. As thanks for freeing her, Elluz provided a glimpse into each adventurer's future: Shortsword, a life blessed with good fortune fueled by her perseverance; Amir, a descent into darkness but a pathway out if he could escape his pact; Momilani, visions of a trying time when she would need to rely on her friends as they relied on her; and Creel, a promise of modest but real renown -- and a warning to stay away from guns. | A team of four adventurers was hired by the town of [[Elluz]] to investigate a haunted monastery.
