The Opening

“The Order of the Silver Flame needs their most brilliant strategist back before the solstice. He is being held in Highpeak Vault, a cliffside fortress designed specifically to nullify and break the world's most powerful mages. Failure means the loss of a decade of arcane research and a comrade's soul.”

— Hook · Rescue

Set the Scene

The salt spray of the Iron Coast stings your eyes as you huddle on a narrow ledge, the sheer stone wall of Highpeak Vault looming hundreds of feet above you.

Background Lore

Highpeak Vault was constructed a century ago to house 'Arcane Deviants.' It utilizes a rare mineral called Void-Iron that absorbs magical energy from the surrounding environment.

What the World Knows

The Vault is a necessary high-security facility run by the Crown to protect the populace from dangerous, high-level spellcasters who have lost control or committed crimes.
