Prelude: Of Friendship and Charters

Enter the Stolen Lands, a wilderness claimed by nobles, bandits, and beasts alike. Into this territory the fractious country of Brevoy sends its emissaries, tasking them with subduing the lawless folk and deadly creatures that have made it a realm of savagery and shame. Beyond the last rugged frontier stretches the home of voracious monsters, capricious fey, wily natives, and bandits who bow to the rule of a merciless lord none dare defy. Can the our heroes survive the Stolen Lands, bring their dangers to heel, and lay the foundations of a new kingdom? Or will they just be one more fateful band, lost forever to the ravenous wilds?

As they depart, Cal pats both Lem and Tusker on the back. "We've got our chance to make a name for ourselves, fellas," her says eagerly. "Let's see what we can do with it."

The End

"I'm going to need a few supplies if I'm going to be mapping our progress... Just a few odd bodkins and whooziewhotzits... I really should start mapping from a known location, and this seems just the place to start, on account of it being our patron's city and all."

Tusker avails himself of the local merchant shops near the Lord Mayor's manor. He does not require any rare or overtly odd supplies to back his map-making claims... but he does discuss openly (with nobody in particular) the qualities of each of the simple materials... The thickness of papers, eyeing the charcoal pencils for cracks and trueness, smelling the chalk, all the while mumbling and fussing with everything on the shelves.

The little gnome begins to ramble about the different types of media in which maps can be created, and how the best of them all are Slough maps. If anyone cared to listen, they'd hear more than a few of Gramble's sayings being muttered and mumbled, and both sides of a conversation going on in the same voice. " As they say...Anyone can draw you a map, but it takes a Slough Cartographer to mark out an empire!"

With a ruck sack full of goodies, Tusker Slough pays the merchant, and exchanges one extra gold piece for 10 silvers "Just in case we need to make change!" he adds unneccesarily.
