Legends of Sha'oghal S1E1 View from the Top

The legend started when a group of seemingly random individuals, some acquainted, some not met at the Midsommer Festival in Logantach. All were chosen, as fate would have it, as the Honorary Guests. During the festival they noticed some Boggles causing mischief in the biergarten and took it upon themselves to put a stop to it. With several strategic bonks, the boggles had fled. The group then found themselves invited by Sir Cillian the Duke of Logantach to meet with the King as a thank you.

Now they all meet for breakfast at the Spòrs Tavern in the Trade Ward before heading to the Air Ship dock to board passage to The Enclave for their meeting with the King.

Synopsis
Welcome to Hyväkä, a new homebrew world from the mind of dungeon master Dianne Hall. The continent of Sha'oghal in the Age of Atharr is on the brink of change. Since the Land Wars in 82 P.D., that uprooted many gnomes & dwarves in the Orman Valley, forcing them to live together in Mithjall. The Ghrian Kingdom now has control over most of the land and has enforced a strict pantheon on the people. Worship of any deity outside of the Absolute Thirteen is forbidden, devotion to the Bounded Six is punishable by death. The X'alach Dynasty, who was granted the northeastern corner of the continent during the Territory Treaty of 83 P.D., has since started expanding downwards into the Underdark. Mithjall, stuck in the middle, has stayed neutral, focusing on propelling technology forward to gain leverage in their ties with either territory. Now we come to the year 798 P.D., the maiden voyage of the Steam Forge Rail arrived in Logantach from Mithjall just a few days prior and will continue north to Athcross in two days.

Now the legend started when a group of seemingly random individuals, some acquainted, some not met at the Midsommer Festival in Logantach. All were chosen, as fate would have it, as the Honorary Guests. During the festival they noticed some Boggles causing mischief in the biergarten and took it upon themselves to put a stop to it. With several strategic bonks, the boggles had fled. The group then found themselves invited by Sir Cillian the Duke of Logantach to meet with the King as a thank you.

Now they all meet for breakfast at the Spòrs Tavern in the Trade Ward before heading to the Air Ship dock to board passage to The Enclave for their meeting with the King.

Mata, the Gnome Rogue made it to the Tavern first, heading to her usual table in the back to enjoy a nice meal and a breakfast ale. There she saw an unfamiliar feline looking figure, leaned back drinking out of a red glass bottle. Jynx, a Shifter Monk, has been Staying in the Spòrs Tavern the past few nights. Being new in town she knew of Mata and her new friends from the previous day’s Midsommer Festival. Across town Rex, a Human Polymath packs up every possible item he could potentially need on his journey. Saying his goodbyes to his parents he meets up with Friz, a Gnome Artificer that works out of his dad's metal shop. In an alley near the tavern a Possumfolk Bard, Daffodil wakes up in a pile of trash, or treasures in Daffodil's eyes. She decides to wake up the neighborhood with a lovely song payer on her bagpipes made of trash. After the lovely song she makes her way to meet her new friends for breakfast, bumping into Rex and Friz along the way.

With everyone grouped up, acquainted with a belly full of food. They are summoned to the Airship Dock by Daniel, the sheepish assistant to Sir Cillain, the Duke of Logantach. Once on the ship and ascending up to the Enclave a few Smoke Mephits attacked the ship, almost killing Daniel. The team worked quickly to stop the Mephit threat before docking at the Enclave. Transferring to another airship to head to Logantach Castle, Jynx and Mata both take it upon themselves to ride the ship doors of their Ghrian Kingdom emblems, Rex noticing Jynx.

Once in the castle and meeting with the King and Sir Cillian, the King thanked the group for their service at the festival and paid them 300 gp as thanks. Daffodil then played the king a song and tried her best to give him the bill for her performance. You were then allowed to explore the Enclave with a guard. The guard, named Otis, led you around first taking you to the Enclave Eatery where you tasted very fine whiskey. Mata and Daffodil headed out to the back to check out the trash, or treasure. Meanwhile the rest of the group continued their tour, leaving them behind.
