The Elenium Campaign

GM's Section

The following are plots for a campaign set before the events in the Diamond Throne.

• Find out why some of the thieves guilds along the border aren't playing by the rules any more. They've been boycotting Theives' Council meetings and killing theives from other guilds. (Zemochs have infiltrated the guilds and have taken over by using magic. The guilds have been put to use as intelligence sources. The PCs will have to deal with the resources of the turned guilds and their inherent distrust against any authority figures).
• Horrors (like the one Tynian raised during the search for Bhelliom) are being released into West and stirring up terror and superstition. In addition the Styrics are being blamed for it and are being persecuted by corrupt church members. Hunt down the existing horrors and stop the Zemoch magician that is releasing them.
• Find out how true the rumors of Zemoch mobilization are and find strategic information about it.
• Why have the Cammorian trade guilds disbanded their lucrative monopolies and have come to blows for unified power. (Zemochs' have talked the main guild leaders' into undergoing rites of power. They have gone insane for power (meglomania disadvantage). One of the guild heads has balked from the rites and is in hiding from the guilds and the Zemochs. He's the only one who knows the true story and can help the PCs call in help).
• Someone that has undergone the same ritual that Bellina did is building up an army of infectious servants to spread havoc in the west. The PCs must stay clean while stopping the infection from spreading out of control.

Detailed Plot

Where are our Styrics?
1. Styric magician reports that Styric villages are turning up empty.
2. Investigate the villages and discover that the Zemochs are using an ancient ritual to nullify Styric magic. They then sweep in grab everyone with the magery advantage to use in their Rituals of Power.
3. PCs must find a reclusive Styric who knows the counter to the spell.
4. Only one other village in the area has people with mages in it. The PC should trap the Zemoch raiders at that village and capture some prisoners who can tell them the way back to the Styric prison camp.
5. Find the prison camp and liberate the drugged Styric prisoners.
