The Broken Banners



The Broken Banners are an adventuring party originating from the Spinelands of Eternitas. They first got their start adventuring in Betham when they were tasked with rescuing Sondra Resuta after she was kidnapped by goblins under the command of Maelog. They now fight Kalarel The Vile and his legions in an effort to save not only the Southern Sanction, but the world itself.

The Green Dragon Inn
Floreon, Quigon Axerend, and Wurdort first met when Giselle Mullendore offered to pay the three patrons to deal with a couple of dire rats in her cellar. In midst of fighting the diseased animals, Morden Ballaton joined the fray to heal anyone who was wounded in the fight. From there, they learned Oleg Resuta's daughter was kidnapped by a band of goblins, leaving Oleg for dead. Belinda introduced herself to Floreon and asked him and Quigon to retrieve some healing herbs from her hut at the edge of town. There they encountered her pet owlbear, Shnookems. Meanwhile, Wurdort made his way about town and pilfered goods from various merchants, including the blacksmith Elmar. Eventually, Oleg was roused from his unconcious state and told the party where he had been attacked. They set out towards the south on their first true adventure as a party.

The Azure Coast
The party discovered the site of the attack where a trap had been set. Three goblin archers had set Oleg's overturned boat ablaze with alchemist's fire and some alchemical explosive as Morden, Floreon, and Quigon searched it. Floreon had his first brush with death, seeing visions of his lost love, Talia. Morden managed to save Floreon's life using his magical healing powers. Wurdort provided cover fire with his bow from the shadows while Quigon raged at the goblins with his axe.

Exhausted and wounded, they set up camp for the night. In the morning, they were attacked again, this time by a pair of ogres. Floreon nearly died again, but they managed to best the giants all the same. As they rested from their wounds, a battalion of hobgoblin riders from Holgast stopped Wurdort to ask him some questions. Satisfied, their captain tossed the kenku a dozen smathyx coins and they rode off.
