During Scarlatan in the year 462 AF, a lone worker from the Chapel of
All Gods excavation site wandered the Prelatorian Highway, not quite
sure of his route. Frightened by the violence on the road around him, he
made a wrong turn, travelling all the way to Ashtan before he realised
he had gone far beyond his destination of New Thera. It was there that
he met Sempai Priyer Raines.

More than willing to help the poor confused man, Priyer promptly guided
him to New Thera, arriving before Nissa at the Lucretian Athenaeum. The
worker handed her an ancient piece of parchment, stating the
archaeologist Duris' orders to let no one else see it. Unfortunately,
the head archivist was unable to make much of it.

Priyer was soon joined by Infinious and Ryzan, and Nissa convinced the
worker to show the parchment to them despite Duris' instructions.
Desperate to bring back news, the worker reluctantly agreed. The only
legible words mentioned a prison and the author heading to Ashtan to get
information on its whereabouts, so Nissa sent the adventurers off to see
if they could discover anything more.

The group took the parchment straight to Epicurus, who recognised the
paper for its similarities to one he had in his possession. He showed
them his own scrap, in which the author mentioned Tasur'ke, and the
group set off once again.

As they inquired around the seaside village, the adventurers stopped in
the Seabreeze Tavern, where the barkeep Edric was able to tell them even
more. He produced a family relic that resembled the other scraps, in
which the author spoke of sailing far to the north to rescue friends
from the aforementioned prison. The group had found the leads they
needed, but they lacked access to a ship.

After an fruitless trek to the northern village of Kamleikan, the group
was resigned to finding a ship. Eventually they were able to gain
passage from Mysia aboard Daeki's windcutter, "The Strider," and they
embarked upon their uncertain journey.

Great dangers awaited them as they sailed north through a maze of
turbulent waters. They lost one sailor to a giant wave, watching as he
was torn in half by a massive shark. The sea threatened to capsize the
ship; the waves surrounding them were brutal, making travel difficult at
best. Even Eusia, spirit guardian of the eastern sea, watched their
progress, appearing to warn them of the perils they faced.

After many days the intrepid explorers, now joined by Aviolana, reached
land. It was a desolate, icy locale, far north on Sapience's mainland,
and they soon found the prison they sought. The place was more than just
ruins, however, and its inhabitants far beyond rescue. Within its
boundaries roamed horrifying creatures, and the walls themselves seemed
to pulse with life. Several of the crew were overwhelmed as they
explored, falling to the prison's guardians, but Daeki and Infinious
persevered, insistent that they would unveil the lurid secrets of
Tenwat.
