((is it wrong that I thought "path to embers" was a plan to burn Greatgaunt down one last time on the existing server?))

It should be noted that this campaign will have as we see it about a dozen events and those are entirely dependent on what players choose to do. It has limited duration and will come to resolution. This is meant to give new player and returning players a way to immediately get an idea of what FRC is about. We need some old timers willing to join the new people to help show them the ropes.

Signed here,
Marister Zorastryl

~A Path to Embers Update~
Rumors begin to spread about some noble man down near Greatgaunt who's family estate has been terribly cursed. Stories of great battles with an undead force that took place on 29th of Nightal spread. The stories claim the noble man himself lead an army of crazy adventures lured by wild claims of wealth to attempt to purge the curse. The stories continue saying that the foolish noble marched to his own death! Other versions claim that he was simply injured and fell on the battle field and if not for courage of the Greatgaunt volunteer’s who marched into the frey to rescue the noble man and the adventures. The Rumors continue with someone attempting to one up the person telling the story by claiming the battle was actually the second one and the noble man had sent a group there on the 28th of Nightal but they failed to remove the curse. Just then another knows it all says it's a conspiracy! His brothers’ cousins third aunt's nephew works for the Mage Guard in Valkur's Roar and he says that several days before all this began a messenger carrying letters to the same nobleman was brutally murdered by some harlot from the Tipsey Imp or Prancing Bull depending on which version of the rumors you hear.
The rumors have spread throughout Greatguant and Valkur's Roar they have made their way to Shallybrook and Skull Crag. The Rumors are just now pouring in to Suzail and soon all of Cormyr will have heard them.

*Rumors spread that a man on horse back rode in to Greatgaunt and visited Marister Zorastryl and then a top his horse in the middle of town made the following proclamation*
Hear me!
I am Lord Matthias Zorastryl rightful heir to Zorastryl keep! THE castle that looms over these lands.
The troubles of these past tenday brought about by my incompetent nephew's bumbling will not stand!
Castle Zorastryl will be restored and order will come with it!
Prepare yourselves and you can join my house as we reclaim the glory of these lands!
*After a jaw dropping silence a loud gnome is heard saying...*
*Boppi Brew:* He still owes me 500

~ Ancient Mystic Mother's Voice ~
In the Era of Upheaval in the Year of the Vindicated Warrior, whom do you serve is the question on everyone's lips. It is fitting that it begins in the time of the Hammer as a new chapter in Cormyr's history is forged. Will it be by your hand or will you simply spectate and marvel at the deeds of others?
So many choices, the stage is set. It is a canvas on which many will paint their own stories. It's not a story for us to tell you, but for us to be told.
Do you seek your desires through the young noble, Lord Marister Zorastryl? Though well known he is incompetent on the battle field and his purpose for sending adventures to his keep for so many years remains a nagging question. Is he the path for you?
Do you instead chose the elder Lord Matthias Zorastryl with his mysterious past and sudden appearance? Tactically he has proven far superior to the younger Zorastryl but still there are many nagging questions about him. Is he the path for you?
Do you stand with the old guard Baron Azorus Crownsilver and his Reserves, Mage Guard, and Inquisitors? Has he earned your trust or is does the prospect of extending his influence farther west make you doubt his intentions? Is he the path for you?
Do you support the Crown of Cormyr? The dissolution of Western Reach Accord brought peace through negotiation not conflict, but at what cost and for how long? Can the crown be trusted when she allowed a festering taint of evil to remain because it was more expedient to negotiate peace than crush the enemy out right? Are the Royal Corps of Monster Hunters capable of keeping the peace? Is the Steel Regent the path for you?
Do you support the Thayan Enclave? They snake their claws ever closer to Cormyr's throat? The references to the mysterious mages are seen evident in the framework of the Zorastryl curse. Is the curse a means to grain them more power and extend their control? Is the Enclave the path for you?
Do you support the Undead and the Lady Dorah Zorastry who's spirit has haunted Cormyr for hundreds of years? Bound by her families curse the undead certainly have a strong hold that has stood the test of time. Is she the path for you?
Do you intend to be the right person at the right place at the right time. Are you going to position yourself to be able to make the difference that decides this conflict? Do you know that the true power comes from knowing all the secrets? Is the Harp the path for you?
Do you choose to not to throw your lot in with one or another? Do you have desires that are not found on those paths. Do you want to blaze your own trail or do you choose only to defend the innocent in Greatgaunt as a volunteer? Is Sir Callen the path for you?
Chose wisely for not strength of arm, nor mastery of the weave, and neigh even the might of your god alone will decide the fate of this. The canvas is set.
In the Era of Upheaval in the Year of the Vindicated Warrior, whom do you serve?

Recruitment occurs every few nights for these factions; but our story continues tomorrow night. From 6 PM Central to 10 PM Central or a little later, we will be available online for players to progress the Plot. Before the final plunge into the Zorastryl manner, a means of stopping the Curse Must be gathered...
Wednesday Night, 6 PM CST. Open Event night- groups can gather in Greatgaunt and set out following leads or speak with NPCs.

We also wanted to make everyone aware in case you wanted to be present if something public happens.
Associates and supporters of Matthias who would like to be at the event can PM us (DM McGuffin & DM Unknown). If we determine your character has a role in the story your character will be permitted to be there.
Associates and supporters of Marister who would like to be there will have to go under the pretext of his experts and witnesses.

Hail Cormyrians,
I regret to inform you all that our absence of late has been due to IRL business on one end and a broken laptop on the other. We hope to be back with you soon and thank you for the patience.
