Carson - After hunting for survival, Lex's travels led her to a nice forest. Looking for her next meal, she started to track a boar. Once spotted, the boar was one of the finest boar's she has ever seen. Upon getting closer, signs of a struggle started to emerge. Some men in robes, with the insignia of a Golden Hand are standing over a dead knight, and one wounded knight. The wounded knight has ornate armor and seems to be in trouble. As the robed men move towards the knight, the greatest boar you've ever seen emerged from the thicket. Knowing that an oppertunity like this may never come, she shot the boar with an arrow, killing it. The robed men heard the arrow fly by, and ran. The knight thanked Lex for saving him, it was a wild plan to make the cultists think they were about to be shot by archers. He invited her to the royal banquet that was being held in honor of this achievement... Cullen - Sap was not very good with directions, so as he travelled to Solus, he went the complete opposite way and ended up in Dorwine. Even more confused, when he reached the capitol Crownspire, he asked around for wizard lessons to improve his connection to his dead mother and get better with spells. Some people gave him directions to a wizard spell shop, but again fumbled his way through town and ended up at the royal castle. Thinking wizards were over the top, he went in and found himself greeted by some guards. He insisted he was there to get better with magic. The guards, confused, said to eachother "this must be the jester they ordered..." and let Sap into the palace. Once inside, Sap realized that this was not the wizard shop, rather a royal banquet... Frank - While travelling, Nimrod ran into group of traders and was trying to barter with them for some necessities. While bartering, bandits attacked, same as the ones from the village (or so it seemed). Barely making it through the fight, Nimrod followed the last remaining raider as he fled. His trail led to a group of Dorwine nobles. The bandit stumbled and attacked the nobles. Nimrod, although small, managed to get there in time and kill the bandit before any hit landed. The nobles thanked Nimrod, and cordially asked him to travel with them. They were headed back to Dorwine's capitol Crownspire to attend the royal banquet and asked Nimrod to attend with them. Once at the royal banquet, Nimrod already feels out of place, as its full of nobles and important people... Jake - Haunted by the guilt of his village, he vowed to get revenge on the humans. After a lengthy period of research and recon, he found that the humans that burnt his village resided in Dorwine's capitol Crownspire. Once he traveled there, all he found was an empty house where they once were, and some royal guards outside. The guards claimed to have gotten rid of some squatters in the residence, but the group of people squatting were long gone now. As Soren explains that the humans burnt his village down, the guard feel remorse, and decide to get him some help on his quest. They have more information on the squatters, but the only person who can give that info is at the royal banquet, and will be out of the kingdom afterwards. So if he wants the info, he should go to the royal banquet, where the guards formally invite him. Upon arriving at the banquet, Sorin is overwhelmed by the amount of people, but knows the person he needs to find is here somewhere... Richard - Rumor has it that the Golden Hand is plotting something sinister within Dorwine. Dick travels there in an attempt to destroy the cult once and for all, or at least take a chunk off. Once in the capitol, Crownspire, he asks around about these cultists, and many are clueless, until one person says they have seen the cultists go in and out of a specific building. Upon entering said building, he finds it abandoned, with a pair of royal guards outside. They don't know about any cultists, but say some squatters were inside and they apparently burnt some village down. Inside, Dick looks for any clues on their wherabouts, where in the rubble he finds a slip of parchment. All it says is “Tonight, the plans will be set in motion. Happy feasting… -J” Showing the paper to the guards, they say that the paper might be referring to the royal banquet tonight, where there will be a feast. Can’t be anything else, since the squatters were removed today. They recognize potential danger and give Dick an invitation to the Royal Banquet to find the Golden Hand and stop their plans. Upon arriving at the royal banquet, Dick has one mission. Find the cultists and stop their plans... Mike - While fishing one evening, a trout jumped up and told Arda about the capitol of Dorwine, Crownspire, and that the adventurers inside could lead her to some lost artifacts of Aeox. All that she knew was that the artifacts were being held by a cult, and that one of the artifacts would be at a royal banquet. In order to get an invite, Arda caught one of the greatest fish she had ever seen, and brought it to the Royal palace (back side) to try and get an invite. Luckily, they were short staffed, and asked if she could fill in for one of the servers. Dressing the part, Arda steps into the royal banquet with one mission, find the artifact... Brownie - In a tavern in Crownspire, drinking your life away. Fuzzy memories of a drinking contest, an important figure, and a sense of victory flood your mind. From there its a blank. You've regain conciousness at a table, surrounded by men who could be described as brutes. Everyone around you is drinking, and one taste in the goblet next to you tells you that this mead is royal mead.

You eventually peice together that you are at the royal palace and what seems to be a banquet, but you have no recollection why or how you are here except to drink...

This cult preys on the weak and sews chaos and despair into those around them in order to please their "deity". Acorn is reminded of his brother, and when describing his incident to others seeking justice against the Golden Hand, they recognized his brother as one of the priests of the cult, his name was Nut. The other travelers and do-gooders also relayed the information they gathered to Acorn. The cult was rumored to have plans inside the capitol of Dorwine, Crownspire, where a Royal banquet was involved. Acorn's quest led him to Crownspire, where he requested an invite to the banquet, where he was swiftly denied. Explaining his mission and his goal, the guards outside heard about this cult and already let some others in on the same basis, so they reluctantly let him inside...
