Lacuna is a savant wizard, who keeps themself unfathomably busy throughout the event. It’s impossible for them to be everywhere at once, but you’d swear they’ve found a way to get damn close. Their nimble movement and natural arcane aptitude make them extremely well suited for this line of work. The majority of their ranks are filled by fairies. However large their duties, most members of this faction are themselves quite diminutive. As you can imagine, this is no small task.

After making a brief appearance among the common rabble, she retreats to her lavish private stage where cortiers vie for her attention and favor.įinally, we have the wand keepers, who are responsible for making sure none of the powerful magics at the Revels get out of hand. They are led by Duchess Esme, famous for the Prismatic Coin she wears around her neck.

Crossing them may not land you in a fight immediately, but rest assured one of their operatives will make you regret it. If any money changes hands, rest assured they know about it. Their members control almost all commerce and entertainment at the Revels and operate as an unofficial wing of the duchess’ treasury ministry. While not magically inclined or martially formidable, the Bijou Guild is nevertheless extremely powerful. Call it hubris or confidence, the Legion has put this weapon up for grabs as the grand prize of the Turtle Jousts, which they have won every year for as long as anyone can remember. Although it’s exact properties are unknown, it’s said to be especially effective at defeating mages. The Zwaard Legion’s prized artifact is the Singing Sword. He certainly won’t tolerate any trouble from partying revelers. He’s a stern man, who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. They take their orders from crafty veteran, Captain Brotziet. They’re also able to drink their fill and feast on the hearty food available.

In exchange for their service, they’re able to get a cut of the expansive magical weapons trade. But don’t let their conspicuous dress fool you, the Zwaard legion are as tough as they come.Īlthough they’re perfectly suited to maintain order, the revels suit them in other ways. They’re known for their peacock-like tri-corner hats, their mirror finish breastplates, and their billowy pantaloons. The first thing you’re likely to notice about is their fanciful dress. That’s where this band of hardened mercenaries come in. When the mead is flowing, the magic is fizzing, and large groups of powerful adventures congregate, you’re going to need someone to keep the peace. She has an almost endless well of patience- perhaps to a fault. The current leader of Order is Magdelena, one of the wisest religious figures in the realm. This artefact surrounds all in it’s vicinity with soothing magic and a pleasing aroma.ĭuring the hectic times of the Revels, they busy themselves tending to any unexpected injuries, supplying provisions, and treating adventurers with unexplained illnesses adventures have contracted from far-flung tombs. In his honor, his disciples crafted the Analeptic Goblet. But the name of the order he founded comes from one of his most random talents- his ability to effortlessly juggle the most delicate of cups. The order pays special reverence to their departed patriarch, who had an almost preternatural calming presence. Members include powerful clerics all the way down to initiates, who are often hospitality workers. This benevolent order swears an oath to ease suffering and provide comfort wherever possible. I couldn’t think of a better place than the major factions that put on this yearly festival. I’d like to give you a peak at what you can expect to see tomorrow. As you can imagine, this type of clientele creates quite the raucous atmosphere. After spending a summer piling up excess +1 daggers and rings of swimming, heroes congregate to unload their wares and cut loose before hunkering down for the winter. However, unlike a simple local fair, the Revels attract adventurers from all across the globe. The Revels occur every autumn near the small town of Hedelster. Maybe it’s a bit too on the nose, but our one shot will focus on The Willingshire County Revels. Now that’s out of the way, we can talk about what to expect from the adventure. If you’ve been following us here at Charmstone at all, you’ve probably seen that we’ve been putting a lot of effort into a D&D charity stream that’s going live tomorrow.
