Voxi – the construction on Valentin’s Folly started off well but got worse the longer it went on. Parts of it were clearly never completed. Clearly, though, lots of earth was pulled out of the ground. The depths below must be extensive.
Zaffre & Chartreuse – Their father’s men are hunting for them. They send up signals to try to find them. They’re ally very embarrassed about following a mop for two days.
Helm Hobbs. There’s a lot of symbology around Valentin’s Folly for the god Kord – god of strength and althleticism.
Radon knows of Kord, the god of athleticism. Kord smiles on Radon, it is said.

The Old Fountain of Beory: A natural spring encased in a grove of oak trees, with a stone carving of Beory, the Oerth Mother, symbolizing fertility and the earth.
Hobgoblins (12) followers of the Eater of Worlds have burned a merchant spy follower of the Dead Night – also known as All that Swims in the Darkness.
Beory is considered to be a manifestation of the Oerth itself. She does not care for anything else, and mortals or other deities only concern her if they threaten the Oerth. She is distant even from her own clerics, who wander the earth to experience the different parts of the world. They spend their time communing with nature and often associate with druids.
Kord is the god of Strength, Athletics, Sports, Brawling, Courage, and Bravery. He is often depicted as a hugely muscular man, with a red beard and long red hair. Kord is revered by athletes, warriors, and all who value physical strength and prowess.
Kord's most recognized symbol is a depiction of a four-armed, muscled man flexing his muscles.
Other symbols associated with Kord include items that represent strength and athleticism, such as swords, gauntlets, or any representations of sports and physical contests.
Kord is known for his sense of fair play, his competitive nature, and his great physical might. His followers often engage in physical challenges and sports, viewing them as a form of worship and a way to emulate their deity's strength and bravery. Kord's temples often resemble athletic arenas, and his clerics are expected to maintain their physical strength as well as their spiritual duties.
Three groups seem to be at war with one another – The Black Harbinger (Orcus), the Eater of Worlds, and the Dead Night. The Dead Night operates in the shadows, hunting silently and poisoning one’s mind. The Eater of Worlds is brutal and barbaric, with a focus on acid. The Black Harbinger focuses on undead and necrotic energy.
The Eater of Worlds and the Dead Night despise eachother. All three want to open the doors of the Black Cathedral for their master to come through.
The firebrands have been having skirmishes with these asshole goblins. They’re from the Blood Moon tribe, which have tended to be assholes for a long time, but recently they’ve gotten worse. Goblins and hobgoblins who self-mutilated themselves and whose skin seems to secrete acid.
But then a huge red-skinned ogre came with an army of cultists and skeletons and started killing everyone. They raised dead comrades of the Firebrands back to life and then headed into the Shattered Keep.
There were a dozen or so cultists, maybe six armored veterans, and lots of undead.
