The doomsayers were more active than usual, she thought as she sat quietly in a dark corner of the Sea Wolf tavern, listening to yet another crazy proclaiming the end of Thay, the gods, the world, and the universe. The growing disapproval of the patrons was almost palpable and finally, out of nowhere, an arrow flew to catch the doomsayer through the throat. Clutching his mortal wound and falling to his knees, the man’s eyes were wide with shock as the guard who shot him strode through the smoky room with bow still in hand and watched impassively as the man toppled forward at his feet.

“He and I had this conversation before, and I’m sick of repeating myself,” announced the cruel innkeeper, Wola Fahn, from behind the bar “So this is the result. We will hear no more of this nonsense of doomed gods and the world coming to an end!” Sweeping her eyes across the sparse crowd of the patrons who had not run out as the man died, she announced loudly “And that goes for everyone. Any more doomsayers in here upsetting my customers will be removed,” she glanced at the inert form of the dead man “with deadly force.” The remaining patrons quickly lowered their heads and went back to their drinks, or quietly tried to slip out of the tavern anxious to avoid any trouble.

As the woman in the corner leaned back and started to relax, only her contoured white mask hid her surprised look as she noticed the Masked One standing by her side, surveying the group. Dressed all in black with a dark hood and his own dark mask covering his face, after a moment of gazing at the dead man being removed from the inn, he turned to her and simply handed her a sealed letter.

Leaning in, his harsh voice sending a shiver down her spine, he whispered “The ship just arrived and the enemy is ready to strike. You were right. There is little time left to avert a major setback, but I feel something even worse on the horizon, and I cannot say what. All I know is that you must work quickly.”

Welcome to the next major campaign of the Thay PW! This campaign will be open to any who can make scheduled or unscheduled events. In addition, the DM team is working hard to come up with events and have a large and active presence in-game during the turbulent period in history which is about to occur.

The first main campaign events will begin the weekend of August 17 (although some have already started!), and the campaign itself should run for approximately 6 weeks until around the end of September. Look for many DM-led events during at least the last 4 weeks of that time when shit really hits the fan, and updates in the Events and Happening forum for news as to what is going on in the realm of the Red Wizards.

Many of this campaign's events will be spontaneous and will not be announced beforehand, however any scheduled events will be announced in this thread.
