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.

Silverfang Emerges Synopsis!

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.

How they valiantly quelled the assault and pushed the bandits back into the Dunes.

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.

The hurried, panicked yells of the Bandits seemed to insinuate that Silverfang had a far greater reach than they had first believed. Unseen hands began to set their plans in motion. The sands of Gold stirring in commotion from the recently fought battle.

The warriors regrouped and began to make their way home, the shadow of their lost friend hanging over their head...

Their job was completed and the Caravans safe for now...  but the Adventurers journey was far from over.

[Karidan]

Time had passed since the Caravans had been assailed by the Silverfang and the dust had settled. The air grew quiet, or as quiet as it ever did over the Sands of Gold.

It seemed like all of the leads had dried up across the desert. The Relief efforts from the recent Auction had begun to finally pay off, the damages restored and some semblance of normalcy began to return to the trade routes...

However, at another time, in another place... The trail is not so cold.

In Alstalsia, word had begun to spread in a bar and lounge run by the Baldesion family called the Rosa Scarlatta. A call to arms for folks to investigate some strange happenings regarding a Vineyard that had some misfortune cross it recently.

On the surface it seemed like a run of the mill investigation, but whispers of the Silverfangs involvement had begun to pass ears along with the request for assistance.

It didn't take long for the word to get out across Alstalsia's local adventurer populace and over time, even the Empire came to hear about it from word of mouth.

It seems like the rabbit hole was bound to only grow deeper the further down the trail of the Silverfang menace the heroes went.

---

Did they come with apprehension or confidence? Fear or Bravery?

A routine happening for the majority of the adventurers had been tainted by the near demise of a long standing friend...

And that was only the beginning. Who knew what would happen this time...?

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

Event Date: September 12th at 5 PM EST

Rumors had begun to surface across the southern trails of Alstalsia about a fire in an abandoned warehouse across the Dock.

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.
