ALEM

---

Sound the drums, head on to war — seized citadel Alem has already been there for the lion's share of a year.

Under the Scavengers' guidance, the four sand worms the party captured gently graze underground corridors allowing the group to reach halfway up Mount Attevar. From there, they quickly infiltrate Alem through a bustling trade route.

Young King Deimar strikes a simple bargain: serve Alem in its bitter last days until inevitable downfall, and the citadel will grant access to its Beacon before the final evacuation is completed.

Sounds simple enough. Now, survive it.

Characters arrive today, with our first proper taste of event chaos due on 27-28 January. Get your character settled in, check out the setting and their assignment, and strike some CR:

I mean... I'm not convinced that isn't half what most of this nonsense is about anyways, so honestly excellent company.

They can say its... for added efficiency in blinding the enemy. All operators get special shades, for safety and OSHA guidelines

Hello! Do you want to have them meet in the Keep first, maybe? Maybe they can try to talk down a fight going on before any 'shallow stabbing' happens or something? Wrathion can be bemused by how this elf cut off his eyebrows.

[stephanivien]

I swear he does actually have eyebrows its just hard to tell with the goggles there and because he a Blonde(tm).
