Backstory
Lachlan Arran is a high elf Bladesinger from the far east Elven Isles south of the continent of Ulthemar. He traveled across the Storm Sea to the Storm Coast a few months ago to begin his expedition to uncover ancient and forgotten dragon lore. For in ancient times Valdemar was home to more nations of chromatic dragons than in the east, and knowledge is the one thing that appears could return the high elves to their ancient home in the west. Upon arriving in the major port city of Ironbay, Lachlan was brought to an audience of the cities Council of Lords - for none of them had known of a high elf traveling to Valdemar. Visitors and merchants from Ulthemar are common, but are almost always human, and never high elven.

Lachlan explained how he was an expert in ancient dragon lore and was beginning an expedition to recover lost knowledge, and it just so happened that the Lords had just learned of a troubling development. A widespread dragon cult that has been growing in number of members and aggressive acts appears to be able to command grown adult dragons to do their bidding. They implored the high elf to help them figure out how the Cult was accomplishing this and what devious plans they truly had, and in exchange they would provide all the resources the Lord’s Accord had to offer in addition to the freedom to explore any site he wished. Intrigued by the supposed power and knowledge this Cult of the Dragon had already uncovered, Lachlan accepted the offer without hesitation.

Campaign Hook
with Rachen

Lachlan traveled south with an escort at the behest of the Council of Lords to the area around the town of Woodspring, with two official Writ’s in hand. One granted Lachlan the temporary rights and privileges of a lesser agent of the Lord’s Accord with his mandate about the Cult. The second Writ empowered a promising army Sergeant named Rachen to the full position of an agent of the Lord’s Accord. This Sergeant was charged with protecting and helping Lachlan on his mission to uncover information about this Cult of the Dragon. The intelligence the Accord’s agents had recovered indicated the next likely target of the Cult was a township south of the town of Elturiel known as Greenest. Rachen and Lachlan traveled the few tendays to the town in the center of the pasture lands known as the Greenfields, and took up lodgings in the only inn (and tavern) available - the Dreaming Dragon.
