Steward Del-Shauna, of Arrowhail Keep, has decided to seek out trade and expansion opportunities to the Northwest. She has decided to send a group of explorers to the mouth of the Westwash River, to record and contact the various cultures along the way. This will take the party through the lands of Thartholan and Verdun lands occupied by many of the dark legacy of the Dramojh. There are small settlements and villages alleged to be down river but their friendliness was tested by years of abuse at the hands of previous explorers and would be conquerers. Another obstacle is the great Demon Smoke Falls. They are not navigable, so there will need to be an alternate route found to the river beneath.
To this effort, she has invested a group of adventurers as agents to pursue this task. In order to ensure that this effort promote her own agenda she has placed Rhodri in the group to make sure they stay focused.
They will be authorized to negotiate trade deals and treaties with groups that are encountered along the way. These would need to be signed by the Steward before they would be officially recognized.
If the party will agree to take an oath (below), then it will get a floating Hero Point which can be used by consensus of the players, in addition she will give them an additional boon.†
Oath: I will find the mouth of the Westwash River, and return to report my findings to Del-Shauna.
