The Opening

“Lord Elenion stands before you with trembling hands and a purse of heavy coin. My daughter Elara was seized by common filth and dragged into the Whispering Weald. Find her before the sunset of the third day, or I fear her light will be extinguished forever.”

— Hook · retrieve

Set the Scene

The players are summoned to Lord Elenion's private study, where the air is thick with the scent of expensive incense and the tension of a noble family in crisis.

Lord Elenion

The Lord is formal and frantic, masking a deeper sense of shame with aristocratic haughtiness and frequent mentions of his lineage.

Rumours

  1. 01
    Lord Elenion has been selling off woodland rights to foreign miners without the High Council's permission.
  2. 02
    The rebels in the Whispering Weald are led by a man who lost his family to the Lord's illegal taxes.
  3. 03

Stakes

If Elara dies, the region will erupt in a peasant revolt; if the players fail to uncover the truth, the innocent will be slaughtered to protect a noble's pride.

Ticking Clock·The Elven Guard is preparing a scorched earth policy to purge the woods in 72 hours.

Background Lore

The borderlands have been tense since the decree of the Silver Tithe, forcing many human and half-elf farmers out of their ancestral lands to make room for elven pleasure gardens. The Whispering Weald has become a sanctuary for those with nowhere left to go.

What the World Knows

Violent brigands have kidnapped the innocent daughter of a noble for a king's ransom, threatening to execute her if their demands for gold are not met.
