The Edge of Darkness | Part 2 | June 2026
Last time on The Edge of Darkness | Part 2:
Inor’s plague of vampirism – Corveinus – still spreads. Everyday, more and more people transition from one of the infected, into one of the undead.
A mysterious darkness, that the party has now witnessed, spreads across the land from the North. The Darkening – an endless, starless night – cutting Inor off from all forms of celestial light – the sun, moon and the stars. Most are isolated, refusing to leave their homes or refuge…if they aren’t already evacuating South…
And yet, the reclusive elven wizard, Qinlar Seiheidel, is traveling 2 days North – to the edge of darkness – with his apprentice, and he hired the party to escort them.
Starting the session mid-combat, the party finished off the last 4 wolves, but not before a hidden one made off with the weakened aaracokra bard, Brightfeather. Rest in Pieces Peace.
They finished their long rest & continued on, only to face off against more plague victims. This time they were forced to kill them despite their status as “not quite yet undead…” The party witnessed hundreds of herds of deer fleeing south in a massive stampede, much like the exodus of snakes the day before.
Coming across two strangers in a dense, thorny forest, suspicion was high but the immediate threat of Corveinus victims quickly showed who was infected and who was not. The two, fleeing The Darkening, decided to join the party and accompany them for the remainder of the quest and then to Khunal. The party started there, after all; they know where they’re going.
Then the plants attacked – twig, needle, and vine blights – the very land already changing as a result of The Darkening.
Continued hordes of victims driven mad by the bloodlust of a vampire and the inability to process it, a land with no sun and hostile plants, and unrelenting rain & mud all threaten the party, their mark, and the cargo.
…Meanwhile, Onyx discovered something about that mysterious cargo their mark needs kept safe and locked…
With day 2 of travel halfway through, we await to see: will the party get their mark safely to Dragoncross…and will they make it back to Khunal…?
