The Burden of Legacy

The adventurers leave the ruins. Delka tightens her netaround Asha.

We learn that the events in Cadraswé are being watched by the nations long time enemy, the Adséwé.

And Ressim heads into the mountains for answers surrounding the artifact that everyone wants to control.

Looks like a great set up for Season 3 of The Burden of Legacy...

The Chaugwé Theater is proud to welcome you back for the final night of "The History of the World." Tonight, you will hear Verses Eight and Nine, thus closing the performance's run.

"The History of the World," as described by Ezarh'had Daan Jhae'œn Amarazae, is a creation story common among the Aman'haddi, or marsh Giants, who inhabit the Great Dismal Moor.

This version of the tale is based on a recitation by an Assi-Wer ranger known as Ngaj'in of Agwó-Zos.

Verses 8 & 9 serve as epilogue following the defeat of Avel Adon, the sunset of Aman'haddi civilization, and the dawn of human empires, often noted in history as the "Era of the Bandit Kings."

Tonight, we extend our thanks again to Master Kos and the Maroki Forge in Cadras for sponsoring this evening's refreshments. A rare vintage of Kahlemehti Sweetgold liqueur is available following the performance as we toast the Chaugwé Players for their outstanding run of "The History of the World."

And so on!

The party catalogues their wounds and investigates theìksha’s lair. There they find clues that complicate their larger plans, and Jhae’œn gets his first loot. The half giants Yaa’jyam and Qo’arja show up shortly after the fight with a few new friends. They camp for the night and wait for dawn before heading out.  Stories are told around the fire, cause that’s what people did when there was no internet…

It’s one of those back-and-forth flash back episodes, so strap in...

It would appear that the ìksha’s foul magic is stronger than Bargessa thought. Gaielle felt it. But Gaielle’s spent her life living in her skin, knowing who and what she is; she owns the obstacles and the benefits.  Bargessa, on the other hand, runs from it, passing as one of the Amarazae.  Passing as human.  

But it would appear that Bargessa's, shall we say, unique heritage is also a bit more robust than she’s ever realized. 

And so, the dramatic question of the day: which force is stronger?  The one that would leave her floating in memories from half a century ago? Or the voice within that allows her to take part in the battle to come?

The party’s found the BBEG.  Will it be 4 v 1, or is Bargessa out of the fight? 

The Chaugwé Theater is proud to welcome you back for Night Four of "The History of the World." Tonight, you will hear Verses Six and Seven from the saga.

"The History of the World," as described by Ezarh'had Daan Jhae'œn Amarazae, is a creation story common among the Aman'haddi, or marsh Giants, who inhabit the Great Dismal Moor.

This version of the tale is based on a recitation by an Assi-Wer ranger known as Ngaj'in of Agwó-Zos.

Verses 6 & 7 recount the downfall of "Neftanayaj the Unwilling," the rise of Avel Adon, "The Sword of Peace," and the tyrants inevitable defeat at the hands of The Emperor of the Bale Winds.

Tonight, we extend our thanks to Master Kos from the Maroki Forge for sponsoring this evening's refreshments. The casks of Scald Pepper Green Ale was shipped directly from Akasasian Cliffhome, exclusively for your enjoyment.

And so on!

The final destination is finally in sight. Our fearlessadventurers arrive in the ruins of an ancient city, hoping to liberate it so that the marsh giants can return, and end the attacks on the Amarazae mines. Still a few roadblocks remain: the city is overrun by trolls and chuloths; a group ofhalf giant prisoners are being marched to their deaths; the creature orchestrating the occupation remains hidden in its lair.  And for some reason, Bargessa’s memories haveflooded to the forefront. What kind of monster would use someone’s backstory against them?

The now-flourishing Paramountcy of Cadraswé began as a simple fishing village. The men of the village braved the turbulent waters of the Crescent Bay to haul fish back to the shore. The women of the village gathered the sea, and painstakingly pulled salt from its waters. The fish kept them fed. The salt made them rich.

Swamps are full of water too. Water, frogmen, and trolls, as our adventurers discover. Two days out from the Swimming Trees, they find their pace slowed by environment and foe alike. And something else. Something foul on the air. Something that seeps into the psyches and stirs the pot...

The Chaugwé Theater is proud to welcome you back for Night Three of "The History of the World." Tonight, you will hear the verses three through five of the saga.

"The History of the World," as described by Ezarh'had Daan Jhae'œn Amarazae, is a creation story common among the Aman'haddi, or marsh Giants who inhabit the Great Dismal Moor.

This version of the tale is based on a recitation by the Assi-Wer ranger known as Ngaj'in of Agwó-Zos. Verses 3-5 recount the flowering of half-giant civilization so may millenia ago, and its downfall at the hands of their greatest foe, "Neftanayaj the Unwilling."

Tonight, we extend our thanks to Master Kos from the Maroki Forge for sponsoring this evening's refreshments. The selection of Calo-Root Festival green batch was shipped directly from the Tamberton exclusively for your enjoyment.

And so on!

A look back.  Naima in the garden.  A young Jhae’œn chooses a good book over the sparring pits.

The present: Yaa’jyam and Ko’arja bring our adventures to the half giant village to meet the camp’s leaders. Little is decided, and the language barrier continues to stymy real talk.

As is often the case, a good cookout can help with diplomacy.  That and a little Amethyst divination magic.

Oh. You didn’t think Ressim was done, did you? Come on, bruh. You know better than that...

A look back in time. Jhae’œn’s mother, Naima Marivaldi, departs from the House of A Thousand Blossoms.  She has foreseen what is to come, and rides out to, you know, save the world.

The Present: Jhae’œn, Bargessa, Elma, and Gaielletravel to Aman Tuus, or “The Old Man’s Tooth,”  site of the Amarazae mining operation. They quickly discover that trouble has recently visited the miningcamp.

Adventurers that they are, they head into the swamps to investigate.However, they soon realize that The Great Dismal Moor is as full of wonders as it is rife with perils.

And as Jhae’œn descends into his Walk, a different kindof adventure begins for Asha. Back at the Blossom, she makes a new friend...
