The Four Heroes
https://www.worldanvil.com/w/erudell-amrena
Welcome to Erudell, a land of immense wealth and magic. The sprawling kingdom spans across an entire continent, ruled over by Erudell City, a beacon of wealth and magic situated in the center of the kingdom. Known for a military of devout warriors in resplendent golden armor, the people of Erudell worship the god of honor and war, Relor. A polytheistic nation, nearly everyone secondarily worships one of the other, more minor gods. This is in part because, as his worshippers freely acknowledge, Relor is dead. While he was once the greatest god and therefore still deserves his primary worship, other, lesser gods are needed for their ability to grant magic and healing, as they still live. These minor gods feel more distant than Relor, never manifesting on the material plane or directly contacting their followers with words of guidance.
In fact, no god has manifested on the material plane since the year 0, when Relor clashed with the evil God Eiken and his cult of worshippers, and died in his struggle to protect Erudell. Though Relor died, his army was full of powerful casters, devout worshippers, and fierce warriors. They managed to destroy Eiken, already devastatingly ruined from his battle with Relor, and the four cult leaders fled to the outskirts of the kingdom, cursed to be liches forever by their own god in his dying moments. Now, they rule over small patches of the fringes of Erudell, having managed to resist all attempts by the Army of Relor to destroy them. The dark touch of the liches is slowly spreading, and an ancient plague from the last days of the terrible battle between Relor and Eiken is sweeping across the kingdom once more, reaching inward towards the capital. Now the main force of the Army of Relor has mobilized to the northern border, where an invading nation has forced them to fight to protect their homeland, and the liches dark touch is growing ever closer.
A prophecy given by Relor in the days before he died tells of four heroes who will come to Erudell from another world and save the kingdom from this growing evil. Will the four heroes arrive in time? Will they be strong enough to save the kingdom or will it continue its slow slip into darkness?
Meet the four heroes and their guide:
Droko, a reclusive half-elf druid with long, curly brown hair and a pair of impressive moose antlers on his head. He enjoys finding new plants to smoke in his pipe, and exploring the nature of the new world around him.
Imsh, half-orc bardbarian and also a werebear, Imsh wields a massive sword by the name of Bonecarver, and a crudely made flute he carved himself from the bone of a slain manticore. He enjoys wearing fancy clothing, though it rarely survives more than a day.
Deake, a halfling rogue and recent wizard, trying to atone for his past as an assassin. Deake bears a curse in the form of a mold like growth on his back that seems to grow whenever he does anything evil.
Brynja, dwarven cleric of Thor, able to fly through the skies with her Wings of Flying. Brynja has become the team mom, taking the boys and Kyta protectively under her wing.
And Kyta, their guide, a half elf cleric and paladin of Relor, native to the capital city of Erudell. She began the journey accompanied by her two Uros companions, Ebb and Flo, though her relationships with both have become strained.
10/09/2398: The five head south to Farcombe, Ebb and Flo along with them, on their way to Greylake after Deake received a call for help.
