Session #41 ca 15-30/9/2214: Vorstag & Zerda's boat sinks, the Temple of Set

Finnris has left the others to go explore the forests of Ammurath and hopefully forge alliances with the Ammur Dhari.

From conversing via Sending from Tarm Stonebreaker, Zerda can get his engagement rings crafted in Kal Zinan - if he helps Tarm recover the Atlantean artifacts from the Lost Tower of Viondor before sinister forces can loot the place. Vorstag suspects the Sinister Forces are the Pale Hand of Hyperborea, ancient foes of the Frost Giants.

Zerda & Vorstag Meet with Tormal & Tyarna Vorzin at Onther Tower, and two days later are invited to dinner with them by Duke Baerad Vorzin at the Vorzin estate. Lady Valeria of Clouds also present. Friendly discussions on working together and the creation of Zerda's Crown Inquisitors. Baerad advises being careful not to offend the Guardians of the Nine.

Meet with the Grand Vizier Dredan Taroth and secure a war galley to sail to Imystrahl on a diplomatic/trade mission, but two days out of Quodeth a terrible storm drives the ship aground near Garadu. Ship is repaired & re-launched before the Margish can summon enough force to attack, but once back at sea lightning strikes the mainmast and the galley breaks up in the storm. Zerda uses his Atlantean Hydrostat (burning out the crystals) to save himself, Vorstag, and a few dozen men from the three hundred on board, reaching land near the Three Towers Citadel now held by Quodeth.

29-30/9/2214: Back in Quodeth after the failed mission to Imystrahl, Zerda & Vorstag meet the Vorzins again, then go visit corpulent Nerim Terinth the Master of Coin and are invited to the Temple of Set, where the old high priest Yezin  Rhond explains how Set maintains the Cosmic Cycle. In a moment of madness(?) Zerda promises the high priest he will help Set defend the Cosmos from cosmic entropy by being sacrificed to the Great Serpent at the Festival of Mid-Night in two day's time. Zerda & Vorstag suspect that the Great Old One Cult of three-headed Yig may have infiltrated the Temple of Set, possibly via the ambitious priest Vadhor Kheb (brother of the deceased Madhor).  Zerda persuades a novice priest of Set to join him in being sacrificed.

Primeval Thule Plan B Campaign from 1/10/2214
