Prologue
A condensed version of what happened with the original group.

The God Corellon shows a select yet random group of people living in the region of Tethyr a vision of the future. A single Oni is looking to disrupt the peace of Tethyr. The vision shows this Oni, later found out to be named Ikrikaru burning a building down in Mosstone, people trapped inside by legions of undead. They are forced to burn and serve as fuel for the creation of an undead abomination called a Boneyard. An animated collection of bones that moves in unison. The next vision displays a forest battlefield, Men and Elves/Eladrin fighting eachother. Many die, many injured. Some of the injured are being tended to but are drove off by the Boneyard and the Oni and forced to suffer to their end. The Boneyard takes their malice and begins to change. The final vision shows an elven graveyard being desecrated by the elves who normally tend to it. Fear and terror drives them and when they try to flee, the boneyard spews from the ground and ensnares them, crushing them, blood oozing from the bottom of the bone collection.

The party, 2 gnome brothers whose home was destroyed in the feywild (Kevin and Tim-tom), a wandering shifter whose strong feelings of family to keep them together (Solei), and young human merchant girl (Enwy) and a Deva cleric (Cialis) are ultimately chosen by Corellon himself to stop this. They are to maintain the peace between the elves and humans and stop the Oni from disrupting this.

From this vision, the group eventually meets up in Mosstone and figure out they all had the same dream and they are marked by Corellon also. They are not dreaming and that this is real. They are all in the same place but with no idea what to do. The gorup eventually tells the local Cleric of Corellon Father Memin their ordeal and he believes their story to be true and arranges for the group to meet with the leader of the town, The Archdruid Radagast.

Upon meeting with the Archdruid, a rather eclectic Eladrin who keeps the town safe by performing a ritual of the great oak of mosstone decides to test the group to see if they are capable of undertaking such an epic task. The group is tasked with purging a white dragon that has taken refuge in the Oak. White dragons are not native to this reason but they are very nasty creatures and the Archdruid wants the dragon out of his tree.

The group undergoes a series of trials that test their physical and mental attributes quite severly but they eventually pull together and reach the dragon. Zarakxurxarn is the young white dragons name, after a bit of an altercation with the group. He explains his reason for being there, an evil force in the Great Glacier near the Land of Vaasa wiped out his clan, brutally killing them. He was the only one to survive and was forced to leave his homeland and head to the area. The Gold Dragon Garlokantha (A well-known ally to Tethyr) told the dragon to stay in this tree to keep it safe as it grows and hides from the green dragons of the Wealdath who seek to kill the intruder. The group is divided about what to do, force the dragon to leave and die or let it stay and go against the test the Archdruid bestowed on them. They eventually leave and confront the Archdruid. He is glad they didnt force the dragon to lead and that it was just a test and a lesson to be learned.

"Things are not always as they seem, you must trust yourselves to do whats right and not what others may say to you"

This lesson would come to play an integral role on the road ahead. They learn that Ikrikaru employs deception to achieve his goal, they takes on the faces and personas of any person he has met and can use their guise to further his ambition. The Archdruid eventually implores the group to keep their mission secret and to be careful who they tell or speak to, even if it is himself.

Some of the group never listens. They end up telling tons of people their mission to many different people over the course of their adventure.

The group eventually decides to investigate the house that is to burn and give rise to the Boneyard. They find it abandoned but a single Gnome is there and eventually informs the group that the Queen of Tethyr, Anais is going to be coming to the town and staying at this residence but it is to remain a secret to keep the queen safe. This is later announced to the town by the Council, which included the archdruid, Enwy's father, his business rival Willent, The captain of the guard Gar, and Father Memin. Which proceeds to blow some of the groups mind since they were told to keep this a secret.

The group nevertheless had to deal with this situation and they told the Archdruid about what was to happen and who would be affected. The group decided they would go and try to see Garlokanthra and gain her counsel and perhaps her help in stopping this all from happening. Enwy convinced her father she was on special archdruid business and that they were headed to Varis, one of the main elf settlements in the Wealdath. They were given a map and headed into the forest.

The journey had a few bumps in it, one brought about by Kevin. He had decided to steal a letter from someone staying at the Prowling Panther, someone many perceived as dangerous and simply called "The Wanderer". Well this man wandered into their campsite and was about to kill Kevin for being so foolish. The group eventually calmed him down and learned a few things from him. Mainly that the Cult of the Dragon was in the area, perhaps looking to turn some of the Dragons in the forest into Dracoliches. Not good. The letter was from them and also serves as a scrying device. The group didnt really listen and continued to talk about their mission, despite who was listening. The Wanderer, a Goliath male decided to seperate from the group and slow down the Cult incase they wanted to get to this group and asked the group to go speak to the Gold Dragon and warn her.

The group rested for the night and set off in the morning, only to see another battle between Elves and Goblins. It was a huge battle and only a man and deva stood against a horde of goblins. Many slain elves and goblins laying about. They assisted the 2 and overwhelmed the Goblins. The man was Thorin, a human monk who lived in Varis and the Deva male was Cialis, chosen by Correllon to join the group for extra support. Thorin was really beating himself up over the loss of his friends. He eventually led them to Varis and the group was blown away by how beautiful it was. (Picture lothlorien from Lord of the Rings). Thorin took them to the Temple of Corellon where the leader of this settlement resided. The Temple was crafted to look like the symbol of Corellon, truly a sight to behold and makes one wonder how such a thing is possible.
