The Opening

“The High Guilds have gathered in Barrencrest to decide the fate of their neutrality. Baz Barregan has secured you a seat at the table to argue against Emperor Krynn's plan. If you fail to sway them, the divine shackles will shatter and the underworld will fall with the rest of us.”

— Hook · Diplomatic

Set the Scene

You stand before the heavy iron gates of Barrencrest, where the law of the land ends and the law of the guild begins. The humid air carries the scent of brine and ozone from the Underforge.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    Baz Barregan has not called a full summit since the Great Embargo ten years ago.
  2. 02
    The Pirate Court and the Underforge are on the verge of open war over shipping routes.
  3. 03
    Lady Whitewood's absence is a sign that the upper nobility is terrified of Krynn.
Stakes

If the guilds side with Krynn or remain neutral, the party loses their primary source of illicit supplies and naval transport, making the assault on the shackles impossible.

Ticking Clock·Imperial Iron-Slayers have tracked the party to Barrencrest and are preparing to breach the city the moment the summit concludes.

Background Lore

Emperor Krynn seeks to destroy the divine shackles that maintain the material plane's stability. Barrencrest is a sovereign criminal city-state that usually remains neutral in imperial affairs.

What the World Knows

The party must travel to Barrencrest and attend the Barrens Call to petition the criminal masters for military and logistical support against the Emperor.
