The origin of runes has long been lost to the majority of sages and wizards, save those with giant blood. However, with the shattering of the Ordning, the magic of runes has once again emerged into the Realms. Adventurers must delve into a ruined complex beneath the Spine of the World, suspected by SEER to be the birthplace of that arcane tradition.

AL9 RetCon: UnFind Dagger of Venom

Add: Dagger of Venom.

Level 8 any-school spell: Shield
Optional story award: Gratitude of Hartkiller (cost is 50 DT days).

Claiming to possess Hartkiller's Horn, Ryndölg makes his move to take control of the Hartsvale.
The non-giant residents have been pressed to declare their allegiance or be destroyed. Do they swear fealty to Jarl Ryndölg, or is there another option? Is there another contender to the throne? Sometimes the best choices can be the most dangerous.

Cost: 10 GP Familiar (Owl).

Add: 1 Healing Potion.

The grain has rotted in the town of Elmwood, which means people might starve, businesses and banks might fail, and endanger the town’s already-precarious existence. Brave adventurers are needed to travel through the wild forest to seek the advice of the Sage of Cormanthor.

Boon: Elmwood "We owe you one": 500gp and one free 'spell cast' (after completing ELMW1-3).

Cost: Leather Armor +10/2; Buy Breast Plate -400.

Terrible news indicates that some vestige of the long-dead god Moander might be active in the forests near Elmwood. The Town Council is seeking clever adventurers to brave the perils of the Cormanthor forest to breach a lost wizard’s sanctum in search of a way to protect the town.

Level 7 spells! Add 1: Charm Person, Sleep. Add 2: Blur, Invisibility.

Story Award: "Home Sweet Home" (Deed: Plot of land).

Add: collected the 500gp from elmw 1-2.

Spell change: Mirror Image for Sleep.

As the Greengrass Festival gets under way, one might have a sneaking suspicion that something is awry. Will the adventurers be able to save their new home in the Battle of Elmwood?

-10gp (familiar - spider).

Left +1 Warhammer and WAIF (+1 Giant Killer Great Sw?) to rot.

Something odd is happening to the citizens of Phlan. Some have inexplicably gone mad and must be restrained, while others have developed strange magical abilities. No one is immune as it has affected young and old, rich and poor, strong and weak.

Opinions about the cause are plentiful, but some theories seem more solid than others.
