Act 1:Stolen LandIt has been around 2 days that you left Restov, the most southward city of whole Brevoy.It is strange.Normally all bigger roads in Brevoy itself are well traveled and you at least see another group of travelers a day.But this road is empty and not well worked.It seems that those are the small and first signs of leaving Brevoy and going into the Greenbelt.
Unwillingly you remember how you got the job.All of you were new in Restov but all heard that the Swordlords were looking for people from "outside" to do a job for them.And you lively remember your entrance in Restov.
Nowhere is the Rostlandic spirit more alive than in the Free City of Restov. The city owes its allegiance to the Brevic crown, and Lord Mayor Ioseph Sellemius must bend his knee before the Dragonscale Throne like any lord, but otherwise Restov
belongs to no house, making it a haven for the lost glories of the Aldori swordlords and those who look back to the old days before the coming of the Conqueror. Restov is a city of both refinement and rough-and-tumble manners, as only a colony can be in fondly recalling and imitating its motherland. The gentry of Restov consider themselves sophisticates, although a Taldan visitor would consider their ways quaint, and touched with no small amount of northern barbarism. The city is a bustling trade center along the border. Restov’s relative wealth supports no small number of idle and titled lordlings and merchants’ sons. They frequent the various Aldori and Taldan
dueling schools, as well as the alehouses, and fight each other in street corner challenges at dawn and dusk. The schools, salons, and taprooms of Restov are also hotbeds of rebellious talk against the reign of King Noleski Surtova, with young firebrands in search of a leader to rally them to the cause.
The city itself is one of the bigger cities in Brevoy.Most of the buildings are made from solid stone and even a big cathedral of Pelor is in the center of the town.
To your luck, since Restov is a free city, you don`t get eyed suspiciously like you would in smaller cities.As you wandered around the city looking for something to get money for, you eventually stumbled upon some papers that were distributed in the city.They were catching your attention in a strange way though.Either they flew directly in you face (not metaphorical speaking) due to the wind or you heard some people talking about it in a loud fashion etc. .On the papers was written the following:
The free city of Restov is looking adventurers to do the mapping, exploring and to reclaim the land stolen from Brevoy by the nature and bandits for the crown.The pay will be good.You are looking for a fresh start?This is your opportunity.
Lord Mayor Ioseph Sellemius
This seemed to be just the job you were looking for.As you did some research you got the information that anyone interested should come by the town hall tomorrow by 12 Bells(every day got 24 Bells, duh).
As you arrived there no one else but 4 others were around.Everything with the mayor went surprisingly fast.He was a very nice old fellow.Probably never had to work hard in his life but still he was very like able.You were handed a charter that said the following:
Be it so known that the bearer of this charter has been charged by the Swordlords of Restov, acting upon the greater good and authority vested within them by the office of the Regent of the Dragonscale Throne, has granted the right of exploration and travel within the wilderness region known as the Greenbelt. Exploration should be limited to an area no further than thirty-six miles east and west and sixty miles south of Oleg’s Trading Post. The carrier of this charter should also strive against banditry and other unlawful behavior to be encountered. The punishment for unrepentant banditry remains, as always, execution by sword or rope. So witnessed on this 24th day of Calistril, under watchful eye of the Lordship of Restov and authority granted by Lord Noleski Surtova, current Regent of the Dragonscale Throne.
You would arrive at Olegs Trading post when you follow the road leaving the city southwards for around 2 weeks.There further explanation would be given to you.
You were promised 1000 gold pieces for securing the land.
((Now you can post a little introduction for you character how the others encountered them and such.))
