The Moon's Reflection

Introduction

The Moon's Reflection is an AD&D 2nd Edition/Skills & Powers** Play-By-Post game set in the World of Greyhawk. The year is 573 CY. The game begins in Chendl, the capital of the Kingdom of Furyondy. As of this writing (11/10/2010), the recruitment thread has not yet been opened.

The party members may be connected in some manner to Galen Verlaine, a noted wizard who retired from service to King Belvor three years ago. Until recently, he has lived in seclusion near the small fishing village of Morsten, which is across the Veng River from the Horned Society. Verlaine went missing a month ago, however, and his niece, Sylvie, has decided to go to Morsten to investigate.

Possible connections for player characters include: former teacher, former employer, family member (uncle, cousin, or more distant), or friend of the family. It's possible the character has no direct connection to Verlaine but to Sylvie, his niece, who is gathering a group to accompany her to Morsten. One further possibility is that the character is going to the village for other reasons and travels with the others in the same caravan.

The party will travel together across Furyondy to Morsten in a group of wagons and carriages. The bulk of the adventure takes place in and around the village and will conclude back in Chendl.

The game is based on a published module of appropriate difficulty for a party of first-level of adventurers. The descriptions, maps, and storyline have been modified from the original, but the encounters have been left at the same power level, since they were professionally play-tested years ago.
