The ancients of Al’Grithm
The trumpets of triumph
Shall mark the time
From sand and stone
The shadows climb
The ragged form skids across the floor, grinding to a halt at the base of the dais. The man shakes as he raises his face, spittle and sand coating his unkempt beard.
“Why are you here?” The woman’s voice booms from her perch on the crystal throne. Her voice lingered, echoing from the empty room.
The man’s lower lip began to tremble as he ducked his head.
“Why are you here?” The scraps of extravagant tapestry shook where they hung. The woman slowly stood, her crown catching the desert sun.
She raised her hand like a spear aimed at the man’s throat.
“Why are you here?” The man swallowed. He sat back on his haunches looking out the window at the expansive, empty city and desert beyond.
He opens his sun-cracked lips…
The Announcement
Queen Marta Elgar of Caldera has made an announcement; a tribesman from across the Alamakor Desert has provided the location of an ancient city. She will lead an expedition there, all adventuring parties are welcome to join and will be cared for on the journey.
Queen Marta seeks to restore Caldera to what it once was. In this great treasure hunt, those who recover the most will receive the most compensation.
As any gatherings, rumors swirl around what may lie below, what the queens motivations are, the nature of different adventuring parties, and who can be trusted.
