The Dragonfall War (TM) my own works.
The World as you know it is wrought with danger. But the dragons they are up to something for they have been seen more and more frequently. The Kingdom has put out a call for the finest and bravest amongst it's legendary warriors. You have been in the kingdom of Celene for some time. The kingdom is bordered by some foothills and mountains to the north and north west. to the east are the Silverwoods, to the south plains with a mighty river flowing from the mountains into Safeton bay.
The call to arms has been raised. You have been summoned to the castle to meet with the kings advisors to discuss what is to be done about the influx of evil and the many sightings of dragons. Once you have arrived in the great hall you are greeted by several of the kings men-at-arms, who escort you into the audience chamber. The chamber is well lit with braziers all around. In the center of the area, a large feasting table has been arranged with drink and food abundant upon it, there are exactly nine chairs. One of which is lavishly adorned quite nicely, it sits at one end of the table while the others flank the table with four chairs on each side.
A mystical creature of unknow origins, is the first to appear from another hallway. They look upon those of you whom have gathered and then take the seat that is farthest away from the lavish seat. The Captain of the Guard over the men at arms dismisses the soldiers, after they have left the chamber he takes the other seat farthest away from the lavish seat. Only after sitting does he instruct those gathered to find a seat and remain seated.
Once you have all seated, a young man of not more than 20 dressed in fine regalia enters from yet a different hallway that you did not know existed. He circles the table counter clockwise. stopping at the mystical creature of unknown origins, and then speaks "Well then good sir I have brought them here now tell them what they must do." The mystical creature informs those gathered of the imminent peril to the world as you all know it. Speaking loud enough for all to hear...
The Portents have been read and they say that the mother of dragons is raising an army to overthrow Asgorath and destroy his domain in the outer planes. Certainly Asgorath will have called upon the mighty platinum dragon and his forces to defend the domain. However in their haste they have left the material plane with little to defend itself from the terror that is bound to spring forth.
The mystical creature stops speaking long enough for the true situation to sink in and then continues. We believe that there can be salvation if you the chosen hero's can but succeed at what is certainly a legendary task that could end in death. It is foretold that there are 5 crystals kept by the five greatest calamities known to mankind. Yes I speak of dragons and not just the minor pests that have been causing havoc here and there, but rather these are the ones that quite possibly created each of the chromatic dragons that you all know of. They themselves only being created by the mother of dragons.
You will be left to your own devices, methods and means to complete this quest, what it is that you will need to do with the crystals is unknown but perhaps more information will be learned as they are gathered. Should you win the day and defeat evil the rewards are bound to be legendary, even beyond what the good king here can offer. With that the mystical creature falls silent.
The young man then speaks to all present. I give you this parchment with my seal, show it to the merchants they will see that you are provisioned and outfitted. For those of you who require reagents and components for your magic speak to this fellow here and he may be able to gift you something, but the kingdoms magic provisions are off limits as our magic users requirements force me to keep them in order to keep the kingdom safe. Go now for time is short.
With that the young man returns to the spot where he appeared and then disappears. The Captain of the Guard stands and says if you will follow me, I will see you to the town square, unless you have business with ( pointing to the mystical creature ) That !.
