In the capital city of Khar Benidir, within the lands of Qamaria, a tale unfolds that begins in the cozy, dimly lit corners of the Whispering Wind tavern. On the 51st of Asdeh, 2979 ADM, a diverse group of adventurers gathered, each holding a piece of parchment that had mysteriously found its way to them. This parchment, bearing a call for those with courage and a promise of great reward, was the thread that wove their fates together. As they sat at a round table, exchanging curious glances and cautious introductions, a figure cloaked in dark robes emerged from the shadows. This mysterious figure introduced himself as Revek, the sender of the parchments, and the one whose need had called them there. Revek revealed his purpose. The Sands of Time, an artifact of immense power and ancient origin, had been stolen from the Magic Temple of Khar Benidir, a sanctuary dedicated to preserving the magical heritage of Eredonia. Revek, whose fortunes were intertwined with the temple, sought the artifact's discreet recovery. His investigations had led him to suspect the involvement of a thieves guild operating through the Coins & Cloaks magic store. With the lure of the promised reward, the group set out to unravel the mystery.
Their first lead took them to the Coins and Cloaks, where they learned from the employees that magic items were often stored in the warehouse district. The group's attempt to infiltrate the warehouse, however, quickly turned bad, leading to a hasty retreat amidst the chaos of discovery. Yet, this misstep was not without its merits, for they overheard whispers of a special magical item, fueling their suspicion that the Sands of Time was indeed close. With this new information, the adventurers reported back to Revek, who had taken to frequenting the city's bathhouses for their relative privacy. Revek, considering their findings, directed them towards the night market. It was there they spotted employees from Coins and Cloaks, clandestinely moving a package into the warehouse district. Following at a distance, the group watched as the package was carried into a small, inconspicuous building and through a secret trapdoor leading to an underground chamber. Peering through a window, they caught sight of the Sands of Time, its presence now confirmed. They returned to Revek with this crucial intelligence. Tomorrow, they will infiltrate the secret base hidden beneath the warehouse district, with hopes of recovering the Sands of Time and thwarting the schemes of those who would misuse its power.
