The Founding of the Aegis Council

Event

Tone: Light

During: The Longest Night

Event Description:
In the wake of The First Incursion the people of Sanctuary were shaken. The city lay in ruin and its people were strewn about the streets like refuse. Those who were brave or crazy enough to fight and somehow managed to survive were lauded as heroes. In light of the events that unfolded before them, the people believed it was in their best interest to allow those with the strength to protect them to rule for a time. Thus The Aegis Council was born. Under their rule the walls of the city were fortified and expanded, the militia was bolstered and a task force was built to strike back at the denizens of the night. Though The Aegis Council wasn't perfect, under their leadership the people felt secure and at peace.

Operation Bonesplit
Tone: Light

Hafla was one of the first seats on the council. At a young age, she made a pact with a dark fey by the name of Chayx’zel in order to save her dying mother. She kept her gifted power secret as she tried to move on with the fortification of Sanctuary. The foul patron used her secrecy to slowly poison her mind against the council, to the point of planning a coup (Operation Bonesplit) that would send Sanctuary back into turmoil! Part of the plan included a number of hidden magical traps in the council chambers. On the day of the coup, a younger member of the council arrived early to prepare and accidentally set off a few traps prematurely—killing him but saving the rest of the members. They discovered that Chayx’zel was behind it and locked Hafla away.
