In the depths of his treasury, surrounded by gold and ghosts, Captain James Mephisto does the unthinkable.

He sleeps.

And in sleep… he dreams.

Dreams of salt air and cannon fire.
Of a life before chains and curses.
Of the high seas calling his name.

But are these memories?
Or another world entirely?

⚓ In this special one-shot, DM’d by Eric (Nyx), we sail beyond the borders of Stravia into a pirate adventure unlike anything we’ve seen before. A glimpse into the fractured soul of a wraith. A legend reborn on the ocean’s edge.

This is Shadows of Stravia as you’ve never seen it.

The party races against time to save Ysolde from a self-inflicted end—his darkest secrets finally laid bare, his fate hanging by a thread. Redemption is possible… but only if they reach him before it’s too late.

As Greydale mourns, Karina is forced to confront the weight of her past and the tragedy that now defines the town. Old wounds reopen, and grief demands its due.

Meanwhile, Prince Lariel II reveals a far more dangerous side, attempting to drink from a Greydale villager—shattering illusions of restraint and raising terrifying questions about his true nature.

Then, judgment arrives.

Inquisitor Serpah Thrynn enters Greydale with relentless purpose. She asks the questions no one wants answered:
Where is her sister?
What really happened to Samuel Gertwing?
And why does every trail lead back to Nyx?

There will be no easy lies.
No clean escapes.

The past has caught up with the party—and this time, there are consequences.

Greydale survives the goblin assault—but the danger is far from over.

In the aftermath of the raid, the party finally begins to understand Ptitty and Tugg, and why Boris has been hunting them so relentlessly. As they give chase, a deadly surprise awaits—revealing that Boris is far more than he first appeared.

Later, during a long-overdue rest, Nyx and Zelphira share a strange, unsettling dream, hinting at a connection between them that neither fully understands… yet.

And then, everything changes.

Ysolde lays bare his secrets, confessing his sins and offering atonement in the most final way imaginable. With time slipping away, the party must decide whether they can reach him in time—or if redemption will come at a terrible cost.

Truths are revealed. Bonds are tested.
And the fate of more than just Greydale hangs in the balance.

Greydale is no longer safe.

A goblin horde descends on the town, drawn by rumors of stolen treasure—and by Ptitty and Tugg, whose ill-gotten loot has finally come back to haunt them. As chaos erupts and civilians scatter, the party is forced into a brutal stand to defend the town… and decide just how far they’re willing to go to protect what’s theirs.

Steel clashes, spells fly, and Greydale’s fate hangs in the balance as the line between self-preservation and heroism blurs.

Will the party hold the gates—or will Greydale fall?

Greydale is finally reached.

But arrival does not bring relief.

As the party steps out of the storm and into the battered town, the echoes of divine intervention still cling to them — unanswered questions, unspoken bargains, and the lingering certainty that something has been set in motion that cannot be undone.

In a rare moment of quiet, Nyx and Zelphira share a private mental communion. Past, future, faith, and fear intertwine as Zelphira gently urges Nyx toward refuge in her goddess… only for Nyx to uncover something deeply strange — and unsettling — about Zelphira’s very nature. A truth not yet understood. A destiny not yet named.

Greydale itself tells a darker story.

A sickness spreads through its people — one the party has seen before, carrying the same unmistakable rot of influence. Whatever stalks Stravia has not been left behind by the storm.

Amid the unease, two unlikely figures arrive: Ptitty and Tuggs, goblins hauling a massive cart overflowing with magical curios, trinkets, and secrets — all bound for Slavoka. Their timing is unfortunate.

Because just as the party begins to settle…

The goblin horns sound.

A coordinated assault erupts from the streets and alleys as hostile goblin forces strike with a singular goal: seize the cart, at any cost. Steel is drawn. Spells ignite. And in the chaos, it becomes clear that someone — or something — wanted this cargo badly enough to bleed for it.

Greydale is not the refuge it appeared to be.
The sickness is spreading.
And whatever fate is tightening around the party has begun to pull… faster.

Day Three of travel was supposed to be difficult.

It becomes punishing.

The blizzard worsens, the road vanishes, and survival itself becomes a question as the party pushes toward Greydale through whiteout conditions that seem almost… intentional. Every step forward is paid for in exhaustion, blood, and will.

In the midst of this frozen crucible, Ysolde chooses Requiem.

Away from the others, he reveals the truth he has guarded more fiercely than any battlefield secret — a revelation so dangerous it could shatter Zelphira’s world, alter the future of Stravia, and undo everything he has carefully set in motion. He does not ask for forgiveness. He asks for judgment.
And for the first time, Requiem must decide whether silence is mercy… or betrayal.

As Greydale draws near, the storm breaks — not into calm, but into something far worse.

An emissary of the Faceless God emerges from the snow, drawn to the party like a wound that refuses to heal. Its gaze fixes on Nyx. Its voice carries divine certainty. And what it asks for is not a favor, not a test…

…but a price.

The gods are watching.
Secrets are cracking.
And the road forward may no longer belong to mortals alone.

🌑 New episodes every week — join us for divine bargains, impossible choices, and the moment when silence becomes the most dangerous answer of all.

We begin Day Two of travel the same way all good journeys do:

With a blizzard.
And unresolved emotional baggage.

As snow howls across the road, Zelphira finally has that conversation with her father — the one that’s been postponed by wars, politics, and a mutual talent for avoidance. It’s awkward. It’s overdue. Everyone pretends not to listen while absolutely listening.

Meanwhile, Nyx does what Nyx does best: quietly uncovers deeply concerning ancient magic tied to Valroth’s past. The kind that raises uncomfortable questions about free will, memory, and whether some life choices were ever entirely his own. The mystery deepens. The vibes worsen.

And then… Requiem speaks.

By firelight and falling snow, she tells the story she’s never dared to fully share — of life before death, of serving Apollo and the light, of faith, devotion, and the demon who cursed her to walk the world as a wraith. It is raw. It is devastating. And when she admits that this party — this strange, broken family — is the only reason she didn’t disappear entirely… no one walks away unchanged.

Feelings are felt. Secrets are aired. Snow keeps falling.

And the road forward grows heavier with truth.

We pick up at camp, where Zelphira is very busy having important conversations and definitely not sharing a bed with Prince Lariel II. Politics are navigated. Charm is deployed. Boundaries are enforced.

Then the past arrives—cold, armed, and undead.

A legendary mercenary from a bygone age emerges from the frost, bound by magic and sent to kill Traghoul against his will. A gunslinger who would rather help than hunt, he does everything he can to give the party a fighting chance… and they still almost die.

Steel flies. Spells fail. Everyone makes questionable decisions under extreme pressure. The assassin falls—but not without leaving scars, both physical and otherwise.

In the aftermath, Traghoul finally speaks.

He reveals why he was exiled from the Endless Waste, why death keeps finding him, and what he truly wants from this road, this party, and this life. It’s not pretty. It is honest.

By the time the fire burns low, one thing is clear: the danger chasing Traghoul didn’t start today—and it won’t end here.

The party finally sets off toward the Black City, and within five minutes it’s clear this 12-day journey is going to feel more like twelve years.

Requiem and Zelphira find themselves trapped in a cart with Prince Lariel II, who reveals several… let’s call them quirks. Some charming, some alarming, some that probably shouldn’t be said out loud in front of polite company. By mile three, the girls have silently agreed on one thing: this is going to require emotional hazard pay.

Then—ambush! The roadside pack of would-be attackers turns out to be the mimicking variety, which is somehow worse. The party handles it with their usual grace: panic, yelling, and Nyx doing something ill-advised but spectacular.

Later, at camp, things calm down just enough to allow for the real danger: meaningful conversations.
Nyx and Ysolde have a tense heart-to-heart that leaves both of them frayed at the edges, and everyone else pretending not to eavesdrop while absolutely eavesdropping.

By nightfall, the road ahead feels longer, the prince feels weirder, and the party’s secrets feel closer to the surface than ever.

🌑 New episodes every week — join us for mimic mayhem, princely red flags, and campfire conversations best left unheard.

Today should have been simple: pack your gear, load the horses, maybe argue over blankets. Instead, it becomes a full-blown episode of Stravian political theater.

Zelphira returns to the hidden armory for some quiet reflection and instead discovers that her spear is decorative (rude), her grandmother left a riddle (ruder), and someone installed a secret passageway like it’s a hobby. Virelia Skorn: mother, grandmother, puzzle-architect.

Borislav, meanwhile, drops enough lore to power a small city. He reveals what he’s found about Aegis Solis—including a certain banner displaying Requiem’s face, which nobody was prepared for, least of all Requiem. He also gives Zelphira the “lead your people or lose everything” talk, with all the tenderness of a steel gauntlet to the sternum.

House Eldreth arrives next, shimmering with confidence and scandal, and after some delightfully dangerous negotiations, an alliance is forged.
Bonus prize: Admiral Corthas Brightwind, who looks like someone wrung him out like a rag. They prepare to return him to the Brightwind siblings, who will definitely have notes.

And just when they think they’ve survived the day, Prince Lariel II shows up—poised, princely, and very ready to start this 12-day trek to the Black City.

Bags packed. Nerves frayed. Secrets simmering.

Time to go.

🌑 New episodes every week — step into riddles, revelations, and road trips with royal baggage.
