Misthria: The Adventurer's Guild

About the adventure

As prospective adventurers looking to join the adventurers guild, you and many others, after signing up for it, have been invited to the annual grand hunt. The Grand Hunt is a way for the adventurers guild to gauge the skill of would be adventurers. The only information you've been given is that you will meet in the town of Skellen, tonight. Skellen is a fairly backwater town in the far north of Elathir a few days ride from Greenwater where the adventurers guild was founded and that houses its current guild headquarters. The swamps, forests and fields of Skellen make for a great place to hold the hunt. You know a small amount about the hunt, from previous years but you do know that each year it is done differently to not allow parties to prepare, other than that it promises to be difficult and not something to be taken lightly by charging in head first. The World of Misthria is a vast land, build up of four major continents, Mosak Dum, named as the dwarven continent, the numerous mountain ranges, pine forests and rolling hills make a breathtaking landscape where the dwarven clans make their home, the dwarves of the surface making trade with the other nations while those living in the sprawling underground cities and capital Khaldrim Dorul keep to themselves and trade solely between themselves beyond the occasional diplomatic gift. While many consider the dwarven kingdoms insular, they are nothing compared to the elven lands of Ash-Rilar. Locked within a vast magic barrier with barely a single point of access the grand forests of Ash-Rilar are a sight to behold.. to those who live there, if you are not of elven decsent it is more than unlikely that you will ever see the silver towers of the capital Shal-Koreen the closest you are likely to get is seeing the megolithic barrier towers peppering the coastline of the continent. For the Dwarves and Elves that don't find themselves in either of their insular nations the third continent of Elathir is likely where they will call home, while it is named as the human continent, it is infact the most varied in terms of race, people and creatures from all walks of life call this land home, Goblin dock workers stand beside Dragonborn mystics as they walk to their favourite Dwarven tavern to have a pint of Goliath brewed ale, the true variety of what is available in the once elven capital of Are-Asi boggles the mind. And the final "continent" is the selection of islands known as the Felton Isles, not much is known by outsiders as few dare go there, this is thought to be where the "monster" races call home from the brutal Orcs of old, to more bestial creatures like minotaurs, not much is known about their cultures but they are said to live in relative peace in this current age.
