Erik of the Scarlett Road \u2013 Crossbow Knight<\/h2>\n

A hedge knight whose weapon of choice is his crossbow. Erik was unlanded after the Dragonblight outbreak, his home burnt to ash to try contain the infestation. Since then, he has walked a lonely road, haunted by memories of his perished family, servants and comrades. By misfortune, he was resting in Limlight when the outbreak began, and has come face to face with the insidious disease once again, fighting for survival, and to contain it.<\/p>\n

Erik was not always a Hedge Knight. Before Dragonblight eviscerated the kingdom of Draksborne two years ago, he was the lord of small manorship in the shadow of the Colos Mountains, rewarded to him as the prize of a tournament won in Canos. There he had his wife, children and a small collection of servants running what would become a profitable vineyard, and the centre of his family\u2019s income. His noble heritage was meagre, and whilst he would never stand equal to lords whose fortunes might buy them entire townships, he was content with his lot in life. Until it was taken from him.<\/p>\n

Erik was in Canos when the outbreak struck. Trapped in quarantine in the untainted northern districts of the city, he provided what aid he could to the defenders, all whilst fighting the creeping thoughts in his mind of the fate his family would see. After three gruelling months, when the plague finally ended, he came to face it. His estate was little more than ash. As was his family. Looters had picked the rest of the estate clean, and there was naught left save for his suit of armour, locked in the armoury and unmarred by flame.<\/p>\n

There was naught left to do but travel the ravaged land of Draksborne, offering his services to those who might need it as the kingdom recovered.. He hoped in doing this, he may find a semblance of purpose once again, until he met his end, to be reunited with his family in Syelden. Now he finds himself face to face with the disease again, trapped in the village of Limlight after a new outbreak of Dragonblight has stricken the village. Either he will leave a hero, or walk into the afterlife to see his family once again.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The set<\/span><\/p>\n

Limlight was a village mostly spared by the Dragonblight outbreak two years prior. Now it has become the epicentre of the latest outbreak, trapped in an arcane quarantine. The clock is ticking until all within are infected, or wiped out by the kingdom\u2019s contingency and containment plans. A squad of elite knights and paladins now enter, volunteering their lives to try end the outbreak and purge the plague.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The campaign<\/span><\/p>\n

In The Dire End, the party is trapped within the arcane quarantine zone of Limlight Village. The village is a victim of a new strain of Dragonblight, which has erupted only recently. It was very swiftly quarantined by arcane mages of the kingdom of Draksborne, who are now threatening that the entire quarantine zone will be purged in three days, if those inside are not able to end the plague themselves. With the hourglass quickly emptying, the party will need to join forces with a group of volunteers who have entered the quarantine, in a bid to eradicate the infestation and save the lives of hundreds of survivors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
