== Plot == The 5 Campaigns are mainly split into 2 separate stories with an interlude between. === [[Under the Jolly Roger]] / [[Terror of the Seas]] / [[Horn of the Abyss (campaign)|Horn of the Abyss]] === These campaigns tell the story of [[Jeremy]] and [[Bidley]] in their quest for the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]. [[Jeremy]] and his [[pirate]] crew crash their ship on an unnamed island in the [[Nighon Strait]]. Making the best of a bad situation, they capture an old [[Erathia]]n fort and rename it [[Utopia]]. They are contacted by a native chief, [[Alkin]], who alerts them that the [[Kreegan]]s are about to invade this little island. Working together, [[Jeremy]] and [[Alkin]] managed to repulse the [[Kreegan]]s. [[Jeremy]] leaves [[Utopia]] under [[Alkin]]'s control and sails away in a stolen [[Kreegan]] vessel. When he reaches [[Evenmorn Island]], he comes to the aid of [[Casmetra]] and the [[Priestesses of the Sea]] who had come under attack from the [[Temple of the Moon]]. Meanwhile, [[Bidley]] is off on his own adventure, rescuing [[Xanthor]] from a magical prison in [[Krewlod]]. In return, [[Xanthor]] tells him of the location of the fabled [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]. [[Bidley]] then meets up with [[Jeremy]] and [[Casmetra]] and all three decide to go on a quest to obtain the Horn. They raid [[Kreegan]]-controlled [[Fire Coast]] to fund their quest and in the process rescue [[Tark]], the prince of the [[Nix]]. [[Tark]] swims off to free his people from slavery in [[Nighon]], but not before vowing to return. [[Jeremy]], [[Bidley]], and [[Casmetra]] continue on the the [[Island of the Vengeful Serpent]], the resting place of the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]. Along the way, they are attacked by the [[Tatalia]]n navy and barely escape. Upon reaching the island (which turns out to be an [[Ancient]] armory), the accidently activate the security system. [[Bidley]] is trapped inside and continues to seek the Horn, while [[Jeremy]] and [[Casmetra]] are left to fight off the pursuing [[Tatalia]]ns. [[Bidley]] finds and frees [[Dargem]], a mage who had been trapped while seeking the Horn. Together they manage to find the Horn, but at the last second, [[Dargem]] attacks [[Bidley]], knocking him unconscious and taking the Horn for himself. Not knowing how to use it, though, he takes [[Bidley]] captive sails off. [[Tark]] returns after freeing his people, and, together with [[Jeremy]] and [[Casmetra]], sails off in pursuit of [[Dargem]]. They defeat [[Dargem]]'s forces and corner him in a tower, where he reveals [[Casmetra]]'s betrayal - she had secretly hired him to retrieve the Horn for her! In a last-ditch attempt to escape, [[Dargem]] blows the Horn while [[Casmetra]] throws a spell to attempt to stop him. The resulting magical explosion throws everyone to all corners of the globe (and beyond). [[Jeremy]] awakes in [[Klondike]] where he lights the [[Lodestar]] to guide him to [[Bidley]]. [[Bidley]] lands in the [[Plane of Water]] and sacks [[Coralgate]] fortress to reach the portal back to [[Enroth (planet)|Enroth]]. [[Dargem]] winds up in [[Nighon]], where he recruits the [[Warlocks]] to go after the Horn with him. [[Casmetra]] ends up with the Horn and returns to [[Regna]] to experiment with it. [[Tark]] also stops near [[Casmetra]] and spies on her, awaiting the return of [[Jeremy]] and [[Bidley]]. When they return, the three of them attack [[Casmetra]] and successfully wrest the Horn from her, while she escapes into a portal, never to be heard from again. By this time, news that the Horn has been found has gotten out. [[Bracada]]n and [[Elemental]] forces under [[Solmyr]] and [[Regna]]n and [[Nighon]]ian forces under [[Dargem]] all try to wrest the horn from Bidley, but he successfully defends his prize. With the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]] under his control, [[Bidley]] is now the de-facto Pirate King of [[Regna]]. === [[Forged in Fire]] === This campaign occurs mostly before the story of [[Jeremy]] and [[Bidley]]. It follows the story of the [[Halflings]] from their flight from the [[Kreegan]]s during the [[Night of Shooting Stars]] to the eventual liberation of their homeland ([[Eeofol]]) during the [[War of the Blade]]. During the [[Night of Shooting Stars]], the [[Kreegan]]s invade and occupy the [[Halfling]] homeland of [[Eeofol]]. [[Henrietta]] and her mentor [[Frederick]] (a rogue [[Bracada]]n mage and inventor), barely manage to rally the [[Halflings]] and escape on [[Frederick]]'s skyships. They sail to [[Jadame]] to meet [[Frederick]]'s colleague [[Sam]] at her home of [[Burton]]. [[Burton]], however, has troubles of its own, being beset by [[Zog]]'s ogres. The [[Halfling]]s settle in [[Burton]] and together they defeat [[Zog]] and turn their attention to another threa, [[Dargem]]'s pirates. Looking for allies against this new threat, [[Henrietta]] enlists [[Boyd]], a sentient skeleton and former member of [[Dargem]]'s crew. [[Dargem]] had betrayed and murdered [[Boyd]] and now [[Boyd]] only exists to enact his vengeance on [[Dargem]]. After a tough battle, [[Henrietta]] and [[Boyd]] are victorious and, as agreed, [[Henrietta]] leaves [[Dargem]] at [[Boyd]]'s mercy. The immediate crises solved, the [[Halfling]]s work hard to improve [[Burton]]. With their help, it becomes a thriving city-state. Several years later, a series of unnatural earthquakes shake the region and [[Henrietta]], now the Scout-Master of [[Burton]], sets off to investigate. When he hears no word from her in several months, [[Frederick]] sets off to find his friend. Unexpectedly, he is joined by [[Kastore]] (the king of [[Deyja]]), who is in [[Jadame]] on his own secret purposes. As fate would have it, the "tombs" north of [[Burton]] where [[Henrietta]] went missing are actually a crashed [[Ancient]] starship. As [[Kastore]] is looking for a way to restart a [[Heavenly Forge]], he is very interested in this development. While exploring the ship, he educates [[Frederick]] on the wider universe, eventually accepting him as his apprentice. After weeks or months of searching, [[Kastore]] and [[Frederick]] solve the mystery of the earthquakes. The [[Warlock]] [[Agar]] has been modifying the local [[Sandworm]]s into the mighty [[Olgoi-Khorkhoi]]! When he eventually creates the [[Matriarch]] (an Olgoi-Khorkhoi Queen), she wrests control of the worms away from [[Agar]]. Now she and her brood rampage through the mountains, destabilizing the whole region. [[Frederick]], [[Kastore]], and [[Agar]], now set off to find and destroy the [[Matriarch]] and after more searching find [[Henrietta]] fending her off using a salvaged [[Ancient]] power core. Together, they defeat the [[Matriarch]] and return to [[Burton]], where [[Kastore]] quietly confiscates the [[Ancient]] technology and encourages [[Burton]] into a technological revolution. This revolution leads to the improvement of [[Frederick]]'s [[Automaton]]s and the creation of the fearsome [[Dreadnought]]s. [[Burton]] is thriving and [[Kastore]] insidious schemes have not yet come to light. [[Henrietta]] sets out to explore the nearby [[Couatl Islands]] with a new friend [[Wynona]]. With the help of [[Tlamac Hundred Thoughts]], they save the [[Couatl]]s from extinction and defeat [[Pactal]] and the evil [[Nightcrawlers]] before returning to [[Burton]] (now formally the nation of [[Terra Nova]]). In her time away, however, [[Kastore]] has seized control of [[Terra Nova]], turning it into a dystopian nightmare and declaring the [[Halfling]]s enemies of the state. Once again the [[Halfling]]s are forced to flee their home, however this time they commandeer enough forces to attempt to liberate their original homeland, [[Eeofol]]. Their timing for arriving back in [[Eeofol]] was fortuitous, coinciding with the last stages of the [[War of the Blade]]. While [[Catherine]], [[Roland]], and [[Gelu]] attacked [[Eeofol]] from the west, the [[Halfling]]s attacked from the east. Ultimately, the [[Kreegan]]s were utterly defeated and eradicated from [[Enroth (planet)|Enroth]]. === [[All In]] === This campaign follows the story of [[Dargem]] following his defeat by [[Henrietta]] and [[Boyd]] up to his capture and imprisonment while searching for the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]. It serves as an interlude to narratively connect the story of the [[Halflings]] to the story of [[Jeremy]] and [[Bidley]].
