1/11/2026 – The Lords and Ladies of the realm strategically attacked the Ruins of Sancturos from all sides eradicating the undead presence there in one massive well-coordinated stroke. The Lords and ladies fought the undead creatures there finding no source of contamination or reason for undead animals gathered there. Not questioning this good fortune, the Lords and Ladies surrounded and cleared the lands. The undead were caught unawares after Winter Feast thinking during the cold winter months the armies of the realm would be resting and planning and not marching to war. Unbeknownst to them, The Empress is not resting. She is going to WAR!!
2/8/2026 – 6/27/2026 – The Records are misplaced
6/28/2026 – Hearing the pleas of unhappy villages not under the protection of any of the Noble Houses, a war party was mustered. Apparently, Her Imperial Majesty’s Kempei Li are going from village to village under the guise of inspection, but are in actuality just raiding them. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. The war party came upon a village currently under inspection by the Kempei Li. Before any words were had, shots flew out and killed several of the Kempei Li. After a brief skirmish, these agents of the Crown were dead. Yet, seemingly from nowhere, a group of Dvergr wearing the yellow and gray of House Onyx Hammer set upon them. The battle was brutal, but in the end the forces of the Realm prevailed. Unfortunately… this is just the beginning of what is to come.
7/12/2026 – A great war party drawn from every noble House of the Realm launched a massive assault on a hidden Dvergr stronghold, but despite their numbers, poor leadership and conflicting commands doomed the attack from the start. Although the Realm’s mages disabled the fortress’s magical locks and its rogues breached the walls, killing many defenders and briefly raising hopes of victory, the Dvergr unleashed overwhelming reinforcements through hidden tunnels and drove the invaders back. Unable to restore order and suffering heavy casualties, the war party was forced into a desperate retreat. Though the battle revealed the strength of the Dvergr’s defenses and claimed many of their lives, the stronghold remained unconquered, serving as a costly lesson in the dangers of divided leadership and underestimating the Dvergr.
10/4/2026 – The PCs awoke to find a black pentacle marked upon their hands. Sages across the Realm declared it an ill omen, a warning of dark events yet to come. The Dvergr had awakened bearing the same mark and quickly began searching for answers, as well as some means of removing or resisting it. Their search led them to a small village, which they swiftly razed before retreating into the forests of the Realm. There, the Dvergr made camp, unaware that forces commanded by Empress Swank and Grand Admiral Cyphans were closing in. Caught by surprise, they were slow to organize their defenses, and after a fierce engagement, the forces of the Realm overwhelmed them. In the aftermath, Grand Admiral Cyphans personally recovered the moonstone and carried it to a wise sage for examination. As the sage studied the artifact, the moonstone suddenly cracked in two, revealing an amulet hidden within. The sage determined that the amulet possesses the power to protect its wearer from the evil yet to come.
10/18/2026 – The Realm encountered a series of events following their procurement of the moonstone amulet. Monsters brought forth by All Hallows began attacking the Realm. Heroes from all over began trying to loot graveyards looking for ancient relics to help fight them, but the monsters had staked their claim first. Next the monsters attempted to destroy the pumpkin patches all through the Realm to prevent the creation of ghost lights. Despite this, the heroes retrieved enough pumpkins to create the ghost lights which allow their spirits to more easily break the barrier between the living and the dead. A gypsy foretold many of them their fortunes which aided them in their battle against the dreaded, Unstoppable Wolfman. The Wolfman and the monsters descended on the heroes until Sir Amadeus, wielding the moonstone amulet, defeated him.
