The Narrative
As a resident of the fifty realms, you have wandered amongst a diverse group of denizens including elves, goblins, fairies, humans and perhaps things unknown and unnamed. You have tarried along pleasant shores and hurried away from tedious mountains. In all these wanderings you have gathered a treasure trove of memory gems, some of which have Light -Magic and others are imbued with Darklight. Now you are in a realm that was once divine, but you hear whispers of Darkmor, a vicious and cunning beast lurking in the shadows of the not- so- distant horizon, waiting to feed on the chaotic ignorance of the denizens. Darkmor spreads chaos using dark spells that make denizens believe that there exists a great divide between them. Under Darkmor’s spells, some feel superior, while others feel inferior, and in the resultant discord, denizens are pitted against one another, spewing blood on the once peaceful streets.
Your friends invite you to a meeting, wherein they discuss a new quest that can perhaps defeat Darkmor, and keep it at bay, away from the innocents. Not participating in the quest could mean impending destruction of all that was once divine in this realm. To fulfill the quest, you must share a Light Spell in the form of an experience that resulted in positive outcomes and forged good relationships amongst denizens.
