The Story So Far

Chapter One

September - October 2022

Following a tumultuous few months, our cadets somehow made it through training mostly unscathed. With suspicious thefts and attacks, sabotage, and full on assaults on the school, it's clear someone's taken issue with The Institute's work.

Enjoy Chet's graduation party whilst it lasts, for the future of The Institute - perhaps even all of Kaladesh- lies shrouded in uncertainty.

Chapter Two

November 2022

Destruction rains down upon the city of Kaladesh as the grounded Institute forces are powerless to stop it. From haughty party guests to calamity refugees in one quick afternoon, our heroes managed to escape the planet aboard the Timberbane. Their enemies however - still lurking in wait - waylayed their exit, demanding their surrender in the name of the High Tarian Empire. The ensuing battle brought new friends and newer enemies, but secured their safety for the time being. If they can make it through the treacherous Raika Belt, perhaps they can find some semblance of safety at the Rock of Bral.

Chapter Three

January 2023

The Tarians are hot on the heels of the Timberbane as they make their escape, finding their way to Bral. Unknown allies and adversaries are met as the crew try to build up their forces, however a drunken veteran, a blind seer, an undead pirate, and even an enemy princess won’t be enough to take down an entire empire, especially with the death of Captain Sartell. The path forward points to Doomspace and the promised coalition forming there, assuming our heroes can make it there in one piece.

Chapter Four

February - March 2023

The volatile system of Doomspace circles around its dark star as our heroes scrabble to find the aid they desperately need. Instead of finding a fighting force to strike back against the Tarians, there was nothing but a rabble of warring factions and an amoral, egomaniacal merchant. A show of strength and a show of threat were needed to finally make their voices heard as the ultimate fate of their home hangs in the balance. The preparations are set and the fleet is assembling, all that is left is the final journey into the very heart of the empire.

-The [[Rock of Bral]] brings opportunity for the crew of the [[Timberbane]]: repairs, artefacts, and most importantly allies. Commodore Krux - a drunken enemy of the [[High Tarian Empire|Tarians]] - entrusted our heroes with knowledge of an anti-imperial coalition and pledged to aid in the elves' downfall. Seeking out a [[Vistari]] Seer and her astranavigational charts, they recruited Krux's old friend Topolah. Not all can go right for the crew however. Captain Sartell is dead, and the Tarians are hot on their heels. To make matters worse, our heroes have come face to face with the dreaded captain of the damned: [[Pellegrino Family|Carmilla Pellegrino]].
