Chapter Number7
TitleWanted Dead or ... Dead
Primary Location141-brightport
Detailed NarrativeThe Hesh prison outside Brightport is dormant and low on energy, but investigation confirms the ley lines power it, and that transit between prisons is one-directional — teleporting into the Brightport prison would drop a traveler into water, with none flowing back the other way.
Udin is convinced to travel with the party, still guarded about the prophecy, but he notes Artemon's weapon is a rare intact piece related to an old Blazing Hood make — Cinderforce blades, whose crafting knowledge is lost.
They sail north for Dark Moon aboard the Pockmarked Beauty under Captain Wutrek, crewed by Flaming Spear half-orcs, stopping at Longbridge. Brandon Swiftwater is abroad in Flaming Spear territory investigating portals that open and close at random. Macklot courts the party — either to win favor with the river kingdoms or to spend them against Pavik Shim.
The Gallund and Tretcord lines both trace to Cliffhaven and to minor Hesh nobility; the Gallunds lost nearly everything in Terek's Folly while the Tretcords bound themselves closer to Terek and rose. Terek's Folly fractured the planes and bound the prisons to one another — which is why they are now connected.
Events
SummaryWanted in Arla. The party investigates and activates the Brightport prison, confirming the ley lines power it and that travel between prisons runs one way, then takes ship north aboard the Pockmarked Beauty.
