House of the Revenant Fang 429/Teasers

Announcement

First Email

Centuries ago, the Elothean Houses of the Marching Lotus and the Black Fang were wiped out in the Elven-Human War. While the scant Marching Lotus survivors were subsequently assimilated into other Houses, Black Fang was written off as obliterated. Contrary to the published history, a handful of remaining Black Fang warriors were surreptitiously ‘recruited’ into the ranks of the Melyo Rensh'a, leader of the fabled House of the All-Seeing Eye and clandestine fourth counselor to the Ferdahl.

Unfortunately, this integration soured over time, and political tensions within the ranks of the Melyo Rensh'a hit a divisive tipping point when a steadfast adherence to secrecy contributed to the murder of Ferdahl Kukalakai and the occupation of Shard by the Outcast army. An embittered traitor finally emerged, and the Melyo Rensh'a was assassinated by one of his own five generals, Ilva the Shrike of Dergati, who then launched a coup to revive the vengeful and warmongering House of the Black Fang from which she descended.

Supplementing her numbers with vicious lowlifes culled from Undershard, Ilva has established a growing encampment east of Shard in Boleausun Bayou, while the outnumbered Melyo Rensh'a loyalists have fallen back to their last defensible point, a hidden flying garden known as Ashala'taman, and begun earnestly recruiting the help of brave adventurers.

Will the Melyo Rensh'a loyalists triumph this time?

If so, who will rise to become the new Melyo Rensh'a, and how will the publicity of these events affect the formerly clandestine nature of the office?

Will the murderess Ilva finally be brought to justice?

Or will the Black Fang defectors prevail, re-adding their fallen House to Ilithi and its political landscape?

Join your fellow adventurers as the story unfolds, beginning January 18th!
