The sands of Gold have stretched across Oniga's horizon for as long as most of it's inhabitants can remember. A unforgiving, brutal wasteland where only the fittest may survive and compassion is far from the norm. A world locked away from the majority, a world locked away from the sanity and reason of law and order.

Yet this desolate place is not always devoid of the touch of those with reason. It is not a secret that supplies and caravans travel between Port Alpha and the main city, carrying goods for barter from various companies across the world. Companies that many adventurers are more than familiar with. A boon for those who live within the walls of the capital... and prey for those who dwell outside of it.

It was across those hot sands where the first tells of disaster struck. A missing caravan. Supplies not arriving to their destination. Easily lost amongst a pile of economic reports spread across a desk. But over time, that pile became larger, and larger. Lost profits, missing goods. It was more than just a freak accident or a simple band of roving thieves. It was consistent enough to be intentional, random enough to be hard to trace. The work of an organized group.. and trained well at what they do. Thoughts of many jumped to Laws End.. but the few rumors that have surfaced from there seem to point that no one knows exactly who's doing this. Only a name.

The Silverfangs

After a time, the word had begun to solidify, and bogeymen in the dark became a real problem. Stella Trading, the Moia Clan, Tsengs, Tamstra Express and countless other smaller organizations had begun to report their losses and formulate a plan to step in and solve it. Fliers have begun to go up all across the civilized lands.. A call to arms. A call to put an end to whoever.. or whatever, was responsible for this.

A plan has been put into motion to try and defend the Caravans from the supposed attackers, but the longer the talks go on.. the more you know-

There is a storm brewing on the horizon.

Event Date: August 1st, potentially the 2nd if necessary at 6:00 PM EST

My events sometimes run long! That's why there's two days setup for it here.

Sign up details! This event is going to primarily be of an investigative nature, with PVE combat being a possibility!

Risk of Injury: Medium. (At worst, a hospital visit) You may choose to take on more egregious wounds if you desire, but it is not a requirement.

How to sign up!

DM me at Karidan#4463 and I will put you on the list and we'll work it out from there!

I have spread information throughout the IC world! The groups that know things are mentioned above, and the fact that they might know something is part of the rumors floating around. Feel free to get in contact with them and start investigating!

This event chain goes on outside of the event day as much as it does within.

All discords used with permission, do not abuse it please.

And as with every chain before it. You're free to come to me for investigation, and to run solo if you want.

Word had begun to spread through rumor across the Great Six that the incident in Gold had finally been resolved. Tales from the surviving crew of the last Caravan to be attacked told tales in the pubs and bars of how the warriors withstood the Bandits ambush and surged forward to meet them on the field of battle.

For all intents and purpose, it feels that the fight might be over...

But those who were present knew better. The Adventurers had found that the Bandits had been using the ruins of an abandoned village as a base of operations, circumventing and evading the spirits that permeated the defiled grounds of a ruined land. With the Silverfangs main forces routed, the spirits grew restless as conflict rose up in their village. 

The Adventurers made a decision amongst themselves that both problems needed to be handled. Half of them sought to bring compassion to the souls set wandering in the sands, while the other marched forth to destroy the remaining bandit presence in the area.

The first group managed to ascertain from the haunted grounds that the source of misery that kept the spirits bound to these grounds was the remains of a warrior that struck them down for fleeing their lands as the Curse overtook it. They sought out the supposed remains, and found that the warrior in question had risen as a Dullahan. A long battle ensued, culminating in countless injuries, but eventually the warriors were able to defeat the risen warrior, and put an end to the Grudge upon the land.


As the group returned from the site of the battle.. they were one short.
Rumors state that John Etherbound, a well known face across Sigrogana.. did not come back from the battle.

Meanwhile, the second group managed to track down the remains of the Silverfang, driving the rest of them out, capturing their last remaining leader.

Only time would tell the story of what came next in the pursuit of the Silverfang!

Event Date: September 12th at 5 PM EST

This event will primarily be investigative. A good majority of it will take place within civilized grounds, so avoiding combat will be wise.

Risk of Injury: Low (It's pretty doubtful you can expect to be down and out in a hospital or anything after this.)

To sign up, DM me at Karidan#4463 and I will put you on the list!

The member limit has been reached! Thank you for your interest. The Event House is located in Oniga, at the bottom right hand side of the map titled "Gold Events."

As with all of my events, if you want more details or want to investigate the rumor more thoroughly, feel free to DM me and ask about it.

Nothing substantial had turned up in regards to it, but whoever was responsible seems to be long gone.

A week earlier, a group of adventurers had made their way to Alstalsia at the behest of the Baldesion family. Their journey took them to a troubled Vineyard that had been struggling with recent harassment from supposed bandits.. riding on the suspicions of Silverfang involvement, the heroes trekked south to the Stinking Marsh, where a arduous journey through the treacherous landscape was rewarded with the glistening horizon of Bloody Bay.

After a good deal of searching, they followed the obscure whispers of the Silverfang to a old Warehouse on the Dock where the Silverfang had been storing pilfered wine from the Vineyard in question. After a difficult battle, the party found themselves face to face with the leader of the Silverfang himself. A swift battle was fought with a decisive loss to the Heroes side.. It seemed that he was no mere bandit.. and would not be an easy battle to win.

Deciding to retreat, the Heroes set fire to the building, trashing the Silverfangs stolen wares and forcing the leader to also flee.

Both sides escaped with their lives to fight another day.. But this story was far from over.
