The Days Grow Dark

1490

Year of the Star Walker's Return
Ches 22

     Much has changed since my son's brave band returned from Moil.  Lolth's epic ritual brought unexpected consequences upon the land.  A large scar as appeared north of the Sea of Stars.  Scholars and the wise have called this the "World Scar".  It now appears that this large crevasse is indeed growing.  Out of it a constant stream of Demons and Devils come raiding and killing all in their path.  A call to arms has come from the area and all good people are needed to aid in the defense of the lands.  On top of this, rumors flow of rifts opening up at a moments notice to other dimensions and other worldly creatures pouring out while the rift remains open.  So far these rifts have been few and far between and we hope they can be eliminated all together.  The wise have called a council in Myth Drannor.  The greatest of Faerun's mighty were summoned: Elminster of Shadow Dale, Khelban Blackstaff of Waterdeep, and Elladon of Myth Drannor to name a few.
    Magic, that ever fickle mistress has been harder to harness, clerics sense a further distance from their gods.  The rift seems to be the center of a singularity that is disrupting magical travel and communications near it.  The Harpers have taken a lead on investigating this mystery.  If nothing else the current events have bought people closer together.  Most nation's petty squabbles are now put aside until this threat can be extinguished.
