In the wake of the Mourning four years ago, the twisted Greatwenge Embrisa emerged from the depths of the Shadow Marches. She claims Vvaraak herself charged her with knowledge to be shared only under cataclysmic circumstance. Hierophants and hermits argue if this event is some unknown disaster that lies ahead, the Mourning, or if she might have been its cause.
While Embrisa hasn’t engaged directly with Oalian or the leaders of the Gatekeepers, a small conclave of druids methodically recruit promising aspirants from within the other sects to an estuary hidden somewhere between the Crawling Swamp and the Deepwood, called the Wengeweald, which plays hearth to this ancient sentinel and her growing army of disciples. Now, whippoorwills whisper of a tradition forgotten millennia ago, called the Circle of Arbiters, and its followers blaze a trail once consigned to oblivion.
Seemingly by design, the circle remains intimate and its ultimate mission yet to be revealed. If you have been recruited by Embrisa and initiated into the mysteries of the Arbiter, why? Is a massive planar incursion looming? Could the Mourning spread beyond Cyre? As an Arbiter you will like receive assignments directly from Embrisa or fellow agents, and your true purpose will surely emerge in time.
