Campaign Guide "Last Scion Discord"

BACKGROUND/HISTORY/EXPOSITION

PRIMARY ADVENTURE REGION BACKGROUND

• In past Goblin Wars, the settlement of Cerdwigg was overrun and its clan leadership fled to Gwindnyr and was subsumed as lesser member branches of Clan Mabryn. Over the intervening years several attempts were made to fully re-establish Cerdwigg under the full protection of a Queen, or at least strengthen the settlement.
• However, "Bereft of a strong Queen, only receiving blessings of the more distant Mabryn Queen, and left without a Sept family to lead the other clan branches splintered and there was no sept or clan just a collection of small barons and settlements.
  • The hills and river valley leading down to Cerdwigg are now filled with disgruntled/black sheep clans, bandit lords, and possibly at least one branch of heretics ('they get strange further up the river')."
  • The signs are on the land and the Priests of the Circle have let it be known that the omen say that there will soon be a new Queen.
• Any female Angharad with Devine or arcane magic may also have the Queen trait, which may also come and go, but most often comes out after puberty.
  • Nestled among Sept Mabryn, the remnant of the old clan (?) has a daughter that shows the signs.

Rumbles from Cerdwigg are that there may be more than one girl amongst the families that may have the spark of magic and of age.

If there is more than one candidate, a Court would be convened at Cerdwigg, with a regent sponsored by Mabryn. The candidates would start forming a court and begin establishing themselves as potential Tanists (heirs) to be Queen of these lands.

(I have not actually figured out yet how the "competition" works, but the candidates have to survive and win the confidence of the clan elders, the families that run/work the land that she will rule)
