The war against the Immortals carries on, with mounting costs and sacrifices on both sides.

Lector, the Eternal Devourer, and his own undead forces have been repelled by the Freefolk and the mercenaries of the Brotherhood. Sources say that Lector seeks an item called the “Golden Heart”, but it continues to evade him… if it even exists.

Earstwhile, the Freefolk continue their own search for relics and weapons — including one such item that may tilt this war in their favour once and for all.

Before its discovery beneath the Hinterlands and Freehold, much of Midworld was starved for Mercuirum. For through Mercurium, that precious and deadly reagent, grand spells could be achieved that would bring peace, safety, and prosperity to all of the kingdoms. For this reason, many adventurers are sent to Freehold to fight for their Kingdom’s share and to keep the mines running.

After Tenebrous was discovered to have captured Freehold, the Kingdoms realized that more must be done to protect the town, and so a new incentive has been issued. They hoped this would bring new heroes to the town and also aid the battle worn heroes already within the town.

For those who display a symbol of their kingdom, and are of at least good standing, they will receive a small vial of Mercurium dust (basic prismatic, expires after one event). For those whose kingdom is also in possession of a mine, wear their kingdom’s symbol, and are of a favored standing, this reward is instead a Mercurium shard (rare prismatic, expires after one event).

Brotherhood members can also assist by transmuting dust into shards and shards into ore, in the standard five to one ratio. Furthermore, before creating the ore, the Brotherhood will need you to assemble the proper tools to safely handle the precious and dangerous material.

Last moon, Freehold’s heroes and mercenaries used diplomacy and muscle to great effect: not only did they defeat those who would use the necromantic energies of the Soulwell to their own ends, but they also convinced Avorah Caellinrah to abandon her plans and submit to being apprehended. But the leader of Choir Caellinrah was far from the mastermind of the Soulwell’s theft – it appears that not only did Lector manipulate Avorah, but he has attacked the town of Freehold bodily and with a new minion: a Jotun Giant that has been turned into a Lich. The future seems as dark and cold as the autumnal nightfall but the Freefolk are far from despair: after all, they have faced the immortal before and emerged victorious.

Last moon, the Freefolk awakened from the clutches of a Dark Dream. They have fought against the will of Tenebrous– and through trickery and cunning, they overpowered the Immortal in their mental domain.

Yet the world has not ceased to turn while the Freefolk were captured. They awoke to the Soulwell being drained of power. Indeed, both the wildlife of the Hinterlands and the souls of the dead suffer for it, with the former being warped by the latter’s torment. Even worse, the Shaedlings responsible near the completion of their task, with terrible repercussions awaiting the town should they succeed in their cruel machinations.
