Act One, Chapter Two: The Blade of Xeria



The party, reunited at Shadowfell Keep, recieves a summons to the citadel of a man named Zorruvius Vitalis, regarding the location of a lost blade - belonging to the goddess of time.

The party returns to Shadowfell after rescuing the Ahl Duganne, though burdened by their encounter with the mysterious spirit they encountered in the fowlbrand.

The adventurers are welcomed back to Shadowfell, their previous adventure being largely a success. Despite their celebration, it is not long until Fritz Lieber is contacted by an ally of Shadowfell keep by the name of Zorruvius Vitalis, who is seeking a band of adventurers to aid him. Fritz, impressed by the party's recent success, consults the party about the job. Upon their agreement, Fritz grants the party the coordinates to Vitalis Citadel, just a few hours west of Shadowfell.

The party reaches the citadel in a wooded land to the east, and are met with the sight of a grand white cathedral marked by a central tower. They are greeted by acolytes and directed to the top floor of the tower. Upon scaling the flight of stairs, the men enter an ornate council room to find two men in discussion, while a woman watches them. The older man and woman are adorned in blue and silver robes and armor, while the younger of the two men is adorned with weathered bronze armor with a cloak and a unique three-pronged hat. The man turns to the party and offers his welcome, introducing himself as Zorruvius, a high priest of the land.
