Daedred's Outpost

Image
The Elven Forest was once a peaceful and safe place to traverse but most Elves have since left the forest that has served as their home for a millennia to journey to some far off land to the West. In their absence evil has begun to creep into the woods. Bandits and goblinoids have made their homes in the shadows of the forest, preying on the weak and unwary. The ranger Daedred Elfriend took it upon himself to make a difference. He confronted the forces of evil at every opportunity and made the area around the town of Elventree a safe place again. Tales of Daedred’s activities around Elventree began to attract the attention of other like minded folk such as yourselves, many came to Daedred looking for direction and leadership. He decided to take his followers and set up a permanent outpost in the Elven Court half a day's journey South of Elventree.

The Players

Image
We start the game with the AD&D 2e rule set. It's been at least 13 years between games and with an extensive library of 1e and 2e AD&D books we begin our adventures.

Moonsea 1357, An Introduction

Image
The name "Moonsea" applies to both the lake and its environs. The area stretches south as far as the mouth of the River Lis where the it flows into the Dragon Reach, West to the Dragonspine Mountains, North to the frigid steppes of the Ride, Thar, and the Tortured Land, and East to the Galena and Earthspur Mountains. The area is infamous for its bleak landscapes, harsh winters, ravaging dragons, pirates, and rapacious local governments: Some of the most aggressive cities in Faerûn rise from the Moonsea's shores: Hillsfar, Mulmaster, and Zhentil Keep. Wherever a government exists in the Moonsea; it rules with an iron grip. Tombs, ruins, and monster lairs abound in the Moonsea, as do complex intrigues and double dealing tyrants. The battle cry of the area is well chosen: "Dare - and Beware!" * * * Daedred Elfriend is a hero of the people. His campaigns around Elventree and Hillsfar against monsters and evil men alike have earned him fame and respect...
