The Liberation of Clan Drakka at Anauroch


Elminster has said of Anauroch that "It is not a natural desert, and it is not all hot sands." In fact it is three deserts. The hot, dry desert of sand dunes which most folk imagine all Anauroch to be like is known as "the Sword" and actually makes up only roughly the southern third of the region. North of that lies a region of wind-scoured bare rock, called "the Plain of Standing Stones" despite very little of it being flat plain. The most northerly region is a vast sheet of ice overlying bedrock and marked with many rifts named "the High Ice."

The party finds itself neededing to reclaim lost Drakka strongholds across Faerun to rebuild their empire for the future. They were deposited outside the Eastern portion of the desert and given draconic steeds from Krathril. Several days into the journey they were given a magical scroll and a summons to the halls of Khelben Blackstaff of Waterdeep, delivered by two harpers riding griffons. Wisely being coy, Thrantus takes the scroll and promises to get back to them with his current business is complete. The party also finds itself at an Oasis with a traveling band of Frost Dwarves from up North of the High Ice.

A few days later they make it to the palace where Char's family once held rule. They managed to clear out the palace of all Cultists of the Dragon, but found that all valuables have been carted out several days before they got there. There are plans a foot to take them back!

Hey! This is cool. Can I add the photo from this adventure night. I have the one that I took for Jim. Also, Jim found that there is a nice online tool for posting maps and playing from afar.

Are we going to be doing the new 4.0 the next time we play? (You can get the books online, downloadable)

My campaign is going to stay 3.5 due to the classes/races and such. Not to mention we want to try and get more use of our 3.5 books!
Ax's campaign will be 4.0 and we plan on switching off every now and then to let the other game "recharge".
