The Opening

High Priest Selene asks for your aid: a rare herb grows only in the Skate Plains, near the unicorns that guard the old glades. She needs it to brew a powerful healing potion before the temple's wounded worsen. Bring back the herb, and do it without turning the unicorns against the sanctuary.

Set the Scene

Selene receives the party in the infirmary, where the smell of antiseptic herbs barely hides the exhaustion of the healers. She explains that moonbloom valerian grows only in the Skate Plains, close to the unicorn sanctuary, and that the temple cannot spare anyone else to fetch it. Brother Tavin adds one warning: if the party treats the place like a common field, the unicorns may make sure they leave empty-handed.

Rumours

  1. 01
    The unicorns only tolerate those who approach the glade without iron in hand.
  2. 02
    Moonbloom valerian fades within a day if exposed to moonlight too long after harvest.
  3. 03
    A poacher band has been seen trading in antler-carved tokens near the plains.
  4. 04
    Selene once healed a unicorn foal, and the herd has not forgotten it.
Stakes

The temple's wounded may go untreated, the unicorns may be offended by poachers or careless heroes, and a rare restorative potion may never be made if the herb is mishandled.

Ticking Clock·By nightfall, the frost in the Skate Plains will seal the herb sink, and the herb will become harder to identify and harvest without damage.

Background Lore

The Skate Plains are a wind-scoured grassland of hard-packed earth, ribboned with slick stone ridges and pale frostgrass that can make a traveler stumble at the worst moment. Herds of unicorns shelter in the far reaches where the ground is clean and the old glades still remember magic. High Priest Selene keeps a small infirmary at the edge of the plains, and her temple has exhausted its stock of restorative draughts after a recent wave of injuries. She believes a rare herb called moonbloom valerian grows only where the plains open into the unicorn sanctuary, and that it can be distilled into a potent healing potion.

What the World Knows

High Priest Selene needs a rare herb from the Skate Plains to brew a healing potion for the temple's wounded. The plant grows near a unicorn sanctuary, so the party must retrieve it carefully, avoid provoking the herd, and return before rival scavengers strip the patch.
