Arcane Asobrian Adventurers

The Arcane Asobrian Adventurers first came together on the 17th of Solvial, 1512 CE, with the original five members of the group consisting of Cayne Garrison, Ilisium, Joser Cinderbluff, Froppy, and Zosz Cham'qui. These five met each other by chance in Kemitsu Lons, the capital of Towerfirth in the Holy Empire of Acolytius, when they defended the city from an attack by the Crimson Cruor. They were promptly hired by Queen Ayako Watanito of Towerfirth to properly stop the cult, spending the next month searching for the cult's leader Vorcanth. It was during this search that they encountered Kozue: A follower of the Old Faith who sought to stop the Cruor's practice of sacrificing local wildlife. The Druid joined the group as their search took them to the town of Kakaku Bend, where the cult had based themselves in an abandoned temple outside of the town. Inside the temple, the adventuring party emerged victorious from a dangerous battle against Vorcanth, killing the cult leader and stopping the Cruor's bloodshed.

Along the way back to Kemitsu Lons, the group set up camp within Dryaedurae's Labyrinth for the night. During the night, group member Froppy was led into the forest by a Bonedevil he rescued from the Cruor's base. The creature took him to a hidden grove inhabited by Dryaedurae herself, bestowing upon the Axolyte her Dragon Aspect and tasking him with finding the other Divine Dragons. Not knowing what the artifact was at the time, Froppy and the rest of the group chose to continue working with one another to search for the rest of the Dragons and discover what the stone's significance was. Zosz, however, had to leave the group to return to his homeland of Q'Farrun. The remaining five members continued onward from Towerfirth and traveled throughout other regions of the Empire.

After leaving Towerfirth, the group spent some time traveling throughout the Province of Palprofundia, with a majority of this time being spent taking on odd jobs and simply exploring the world around them. During their time in the Province, Cayne reunited with Armanus Garrison: An old friend of hers who would later join the group and become Cayne's husband. For now, however, he would remain unaffiliated with the group. While in Palprofundia, the group also visited Biffany's School of the Arcane in Fallowburn, with Joser's status as a school alumni granting them access to the college's library. Here, they learned that Froppy's stone was one of the Dragon Aspects, as well as the power that it and the other Aspects held. The school's library lacked any information on where the rest of the Divine Dragons could be found, however. They continued onward out of Palprofundia and into Minaltum, continuing their search for information and helpful acts along the way. In Minaltum, the group also met Skuldr Thorason: An Ursinefolk traveling throughout Asobria in search of ingredients for his cooking. Skuldr joined the group for some of their quests before choosing to assist in their search for the Dragon Aspects and becoming a full member of Triple A.

Triple A's biggest undertaking in Minaltum was their quest to stop a surge of undead in the Province, which pit them against a lich known as Thrulseth. This journey saw the group fighting against groups of reanimated skeletons and Thrulseth's followers, eventually culminating in a battle with the lich and his constructed body in the ruined city of Bor-Hiomriach. Thrulseth was defeated, which put a stop to the problems in Minaltum. Shortly after the completion of this quest, the six adventurers received a letter from the late Emperor Hadrius IV inviting them to the Imperial Palace in the nation's capital of Vatepor. The group immediately accepted this invitation, leaving Minaltum and traveling through Tersodia until arriving at the biggest city in the world.

Upon arriving in Vatepor, the Arcane Asobrian Adventurers met with Emperor Hadrius IV and were tasked with investigating the members of the Imperial High Council. With the election to determine the nation's next ruler scheduled to take place in mere days, the late Emperor suspected that there may be issues with corruption and foul play to try and sway the people's votes one way or the other. The group had a few days to conduct their search, with their deadline being a banquet that was to be held in their honor. Triple A agreed to this task, remaining in the city to find any potential evidence they could. As they also were granted nearly full access to the Imperial Palace, the group also searched for more information regarding the Dragon Aspects. This put the group into contact with High Archmage Alistair Seraphus, who quickly became a close ally and would later join the group.

Triple A's political investigations led to them having many interactions with Alarin Lucius and Belivere Valeria, who were the Grand Steward and Grand Marshal at the time. These investigations soon unearthed that Grand Steward Alarin was framing Grand Marshal Belivere and was responsible for many of the issues that had been plaguing the Empire at the time. Through bribery and forged orders, Alarin was preventing the guards of Towerfirth and Minaltum froming searching for and eliminating both the Crimson Cruor and Thrulseth. The crimes of these groups in turn slandered Grand Marshal Belivere's reputation, making it seem as if she was insufficient for her duties or involved with these evils. Alarin's strategy was so successful, in fact, that he was even able to frame Belivere for attempted murder at Triple A's banquet by bribing a guard to attack Kozue, with the guard claiming it was under Belivere's orders. Ultimately, his goal was to guarantee his victory in the election and his rise to power, but Triple A's investigations later led to his downfall.

After his crimes were discovered, Alarin fled to the Cathedral of the High Gods to make a desperate bargain with Demons of Ceiveta. When the Arcane Asobrian Adventurers interrupted his meeting to arrest him, Alarin was devoured by one of the Demons and killed. Triple A then fought in a deadly battle against the Demons, emerging victorious after suffering heavy injury. For their efforts, however, Emperor Hadrius deemed them heroes of the Empire. It was with this recognition that the group was officially named, with the moniker of the Arcane Asobrian Adventurers being determined by the members of the group.

During their venture within Vatepor, the Arcane Asobrian Adventurers saw other major events such as the addition of new members. One of these members was Tenzin Kanade, a Brandkin tattoo artist who lived and worked in Beggar's Bazaar. After providing their services to some members of Triple A, they grew close with Froppy and became romantic partners with the Axolyte. Since then, Tenzin has accompanied the group to provide Magical Tattoos if needed, although they mainly have stuck around to stay with Froppy. In addition, High Archmage Alistair Seraphus joined the group soon after Alarin's crimes were dealt with. Alistair possessed knowledge on the Dragon Aspects in his personal library at the College of the Arcane, sharing it with Triple A and providing some counsel regarding where they were to journey next. He additionally took Joser under his wing as an apprentice, teaching him Artificing to help him get used to his then new prosthetic arm. Alistair's existing apprentice, Pavel Kirsten, also accompanied Triple A from this moment forward. A skilled alchemist, Pavel actually attended Biffany's School of the Arcane alongside Joser, although the two disliked each other greatly.

Armanus Garrison also joined Triple A around this time, however the circumstances were very grim. Cayne had discovered that Armanus was involved in the disappearance of Sarti Garris: Cayne's younger sister who had vanished some time before Triple A first met in Kemitsu Lons. This discovery fractured their relationship, with the two avoiding contact with one another for some time. Before the group left Vatepor, however, Armanus wrote to Cayne with the news that he had found where Sarti was, which was the Cavnos Islands. Triple A met him there, and searching through the caves led to the discovery of a secret dungeon. Within this dungeon, there were scrolls, books, and other documents referencing the Dragon Aspects. Sarti apparently possessed a fragment of an artifact that had ties to the Aspects (one that Joser also possessed a fragment to), and the perpetrator behind her kidnapping wanted this fragment and any information she may have had as well. Armanus was the one sent to do the work for them, and Sarti was then brought to this dungeon. Triple A soon found her within a torture chamber, with Sarti being in a horrendous state from extensive beatings. Armanus and Cayne were there to comfort her in her final moments, as she died shortly after her discovery.

The man responsible for Sarti's kidnapping would later become Triple A's greatest enemy, being a man known as Sir Nero von Strahd. Nero was an esteemed knight, being close friends of the Garris family and the mentor to Armanus. As his mentor, Nero forced Armanus to kidnap Sarti by threatening his future knighthood and the safety of the rest of the Garris family. Through their search on the Cavnos Islands, Triple A discovered that Nero was also searching for the Dragon Aspects and that he was potentially a Vampire. While Nero was previously at the banquet held some days prior, the group would not yet be able to find him and enact justice for Sarti's death. For now, the group brought Sarti back to her family and attended her funeral. It was at this funeral that Armanus chose to join Triple A, his goal being to try and atone for his actions.

With their newfound allies, Triple A made plans to travel north into the Kingdom of Kalvete to search for the next Aspect. Prior to their departure, however, the group spent some time resting and recovering from the tribulations of their past journey. This granted them an opportunity to attend the induction ceremony of Belivere Valeria, who was elected as Empress and succeeded the late Hadrius IV during their time in Vatepor.
