Regent Invites

Invite 1 - Inferior weapons

Forgemaster Halrig asked the PCs to serve as neutral arbiters in a dispute between the Anvillers’ Guild and several merchants from the city. Specifically, the Guild has been accused of deliberately selling inferior- quality merchandise that looks great but breaks after sustained exposure to real battle. This gravest of insults is hurting the Guild’s business, and the Forgemaster wants the situation resolved quickly.

Invite 2 - Missing fishermen

Commander Hammersong (Guild of Arms) granted the PCs permission to go out on Bluecrap lake to search for some missing fisherman. The lake is a freshwater body that is part natural formation and part feat of engineering. To protect the fauna and prevent pollution, Kovlar’s laws strictly limit access to the lake to its western shores. Recently, the population of aquatic creatures has been declining, particularly the numbers of the lake’s eponymous bluecrabs. The city permitted a group of fishers to venture out farther onto the lake to investigate, but they never returned.

Invite 3 - Missing member of the clergy

Sentinel Stoneborn (Guild of Faith) requested the PCs investigate the disappearance of a man named Zamak, who vanished under suspicious circumstances after having an argument with his wife. Zamak and Olga, a married couple from the dwarven city of Larrad, arrived in Kovlar last week. The couple rented rooms in one of the city’s most expensive establishments, the Gold Sky Inn, but after a very public argument about finances, Zamak stormed out of the inn to seek separate lodging, and has since vanished without a trace.

Invite 4 - The curious Archmage

Archmage Nalruven (Guild of Spells), is curious as to the magical means by which the PCs came to arrive in Kovlar. He asks the group for more information, and offers access to Guild’s extensive collection of uncommon magic in return.

Invite 5 - Check the walls

Alljoiner Garnis (Carpenters’ Guild) suspects a greater force is behind all the suspicious incidents that have happened lately. When she first brought the topic up before the rest of the regents, Mountainheart Chiselrock insultingly dismissed her concerns, before convincing Archmage Nalruven that there was nothing to worry about. The Alljoiner is concerned that these two regents may be neglecting their own interests and allowing hidden enemies to sabotage the city. She asked the PCs to investigate the most important structure tied to the Stonemason’s Guild and Guild of Spells: the walls of Kovlar.

Invite 6 - Theft from the vaults

Goldhand Irontemper (Guild of Coins) informed the PCs that a runestone with an antimagic armor rune has vanished from the vaults beneath the Regents’ Hall. At first, nothing seemed amiss—after all, members of the Court of Regents have permission to travel down to the vaults and take out items on loan for short periods, so long as they confirm their loan once a month. However, the vault guard has reported that the runestone has been gone for five weeks.

Invite 7 - Missing tailor

Adorned Dolgindir (Guild of Finery) asked the PCs to investigate the vanishing of a tailor named Algret. Her disappearance bothered Adorned Dolgindir for a very specific reason—a strange letter she left behind. Dolgindir explained that the letter appeared on his desk the morning after Algret went missing. According to the letter, Algret claims that she had been feeling extremely nauseated from a pregnancy, which she had hid because she thought her friends might not approve of the clandestine relationship that lead to her maternity. Adorned Dolginder confided in the PCs that Algret didn’t seem the type to hide a relationship for fear of what her friends might think—she has always been outspoken about her preferences and unflinching in her decisions.
