subplot

Description

A supernatural entity moves through the Great Fruist from the south—a human woman who mutters about someone named 'Katrina' and messages from shadows, killing everything in her path. The Mother has forbidden elven creatures from harming this being, forcing the Ivy Guard to attempt shepherding it around their village. Captain Durian suggests Vixia, as an outsider to the Fruist, might be permitted to intervene where elves cannot.

Session 13 "When the hunter becomes the hunted, even council meetings become traps."

Champions and Calamities

Captain Durian explains Wick's construction delays: a walking calamity approaches an elven village, moving slowly but inexorably. The entity kills everything it encounters, speaks of shadows and messages, and cannot be harmed by creatures of the Fruist due to the Mother's decree. They have perhaps ten days before it reaches the village—and Vixia sees both threat and opportunity in this supernatural disaster.
