The Game
In a quiet glade, far removed from the turbulent destruction of the Sargrass Plains, a small bead of energy begins to coalesce. Sparks fly from the new white hole as it grows quickly to the size of a mill wheel, turbulently searing and blackening the grass underneath where it grazes the tips of the blades.
The screaming vortex slowly stabilizes into a portal, which quickly spits up our heroes onto the soft, invitingly green grass.
The portal seems to have been anchored in some kind of stone archway. Looking around, there are three other stone arches placed at the cardinal points in a circle about fifty feet across, with a huge ten-foot wide black iron cauldron in the center filled with clear blue water. Judging from the position of the sun rising over the horizon, it is not long past dawn, and the portal is anchored in the western arch. The glade's soft, even grass extends a good fifty feet in each direction from the stones. The area around the glade is sparsely wooded, limiting the distance you can see from here. A short hill rises to the south side of the glade, blocking the view beyond.
Thus started the adventures of the Sunrise Song; orphaned heroes from the Sargrass, Mithril Order, and a passing traveller banded together to find out why they all arrived at the same magical time to the Cinnamon Valley.
