Blood of the God Annals

I have notes somewhere; this is from memory...

The Blood of the God campaign started with the young men from the small town of Marrist, located about halfway between Rindamoor and Sharak-Im. Among these was a paladin named Bessin, who would go on to become Saint Bessin, the hero of the War of the Dead.

If I recall correctly, Marrist was targeted and ultimately destroyed by the Slavers' Guild. The young men avoided capture and slaughter, and ended up in Rindamoor, where they were taken under the wing of Denegar Haften. Denegar was part of an abolitionist movement, and sent our heroes on a mission to ambush a slaver caravan. They also somehow befriended Prince Ranald Dryden-Vyzgin, who would go on to become the first human Triumvir.

There was also something about a necromancer raising the dead in Marrist. And at one point they fought a baby dragon. That's about all I remember of what actually happened in game play.

Eventually, Bessin (and any remaining members of the original group from Marrist) would discover that the original name of Marrist was Amar's Rest, and that it was the final home of Amar, for whom Amartain is named (hence Blood of the God, as the people of Marrist are direct descendants of Amar). Amar's tomb is located at Marrist, specifically in a cave through which a river runs before spilling out of the side of a cliff into a waterfall. And in Amar's tomb is Amar's Staff, which Bessin eventually retrieves and then uses to dispell the undead hordes to end the War of the Dead.
