The Quest
Upon completion of the Rite of Passage, the new adventurers are gathered before the
Elders of Llylgamyn. The burden of the quest for the sacred orb is laid upon their
shoulders. The adventure party is told that the newly awakened volcano that
threatens the city is actually the legendary sanctuary of the great dragon L’kbreth,
who guards the orb from unworthy seekers.
High inside the mountain is the hidden resting place of the orb. The party must climb
the twisted passageways inside the mountain, where L’kbreth has used both good and
evil magic to safeguard the orb. Legions of monsters and nefarious troops bar the
seeker’s path. Diabolical traps and confounding riddles test the ingenuity of each
member of the party. Only the strength of an ancestor’s bequest will enable a
character to survive even the lowest level of L’kbreth’s lair.
As tradition dictates, new adventurers begin without weapons or armor. The Elders
give each adventurer a purse of up to 500 gold pieces upon graduation. Wise
outfitting at Boltac’s Trading Post is the first test of survival.
Before the eager adventurers leave on their quest, the priests from the Temple of Cant
perform one last divination. The priests use domesticated Creeping Coins to cast
hexagrams in the sands:
Murmur...Chant...Prayer...Success!
“A warning: The power of L’kbreth is the power of the planet itself ”
Somewhat shaken, the adventurers listen to the High Elder, “Whenever danger
confronts mankind, Llylgamyn ever stands in the fore, ready to lead from darkness
into light. Now you must go forth into the unknown to save your people. Such is the
Legacy of Llylgamyn. Good luck, and may Kadorto smile upon you.”
