Once the wagons are ready, the Consortium caravan gets under way. Under cover of darkness, the encamped caravan is attacked by a band of hill giants.

The Challenge of the Fang

The Charter headed into the heart of the Old Margreve to face the once in a generation Challenge of the Fang. The rulers of Veteris triumphed over the Would-Be King of Wolves, saving the shifter girl Czerwona and recovering the ancient axe known as Wolf Killer. Following their success, everyone in Veteris finds travel in the Margreve easier than it had been, though the close grown, old growth trees and sky-blocking branches still make it a difficult region to traverse.

Members of the Council and the Five Kings were able to defeat the Cold Rider in less than 2 hours, preventing any more deaths.

The city mourned for a month and the Council declared 22 Abadius a holiday, Remembrance Day, to commemorate the tragedy and celebrate the lives of the dead.

The Charter
After days of travel, the Charter talked their way into the Stag Lord’s fort. They discovered unrest among the bandits and found that the Stag Lord’s lieutenant, Akiros Ismort, was disgusted with the situation and ready to overthrow the bandit lord. Surprising him in his bed, the Charter fought and killed the fierce Stag Lord, with Akiros taking grievous damage.

After regrouping, the Charter went in search of Dovan of Nisroch, another of the Stag Lord’s lieutenants, but did not find him asleep. Glain Nimblefoot went scouting for the bandit lieutenant and killed him in single combat at the cost of his own life.

With these two dead and Akiros sworn to penance and service, the bandit threat in the Greenbelt was broken.
