Current Adventures

• The Lantern The heroes explored The Abbey and found a nexus of magical lines protected by a Good archlich. Told there is an antimagic artifact that may stabilize the lines, our heroes have crossed to the Northern Continent to find Azodall's Lantern! So far they have learned...

- Dallry Torazo supposedly made Azodall's Lantern from the Central Eye of six Beholders.

- Tyron Azodall was an archmage of the Star Mages Guild of Plateau City 150 years ago, and his texts are still well known.

- There might be a connection between beholders, organized crime, and Azodall’s sudden dissappearance.

- Dallry worked for Azodall, procuring goods and services, including a Tower outside of the Town of Hovel in the Crescent Valley.

- Dallry Torazo and Tyron Azodall were probably the same person! (near anagram)
