Mythodea / Salty Stick: Salt on Crusade
Germany: (Wirftstraße 91, 54589 Stadtkyll Date 24/26.11.2023) A host of allies and those bonded by their mutual fight against the Forsaken have marched South to Kahl'Hatra once again. Among them is East Blackwood and the East Blackwood Company. A somewhat secure location has been acquired within Kahl'Hatra at the location of an abandoned village. This village now serves as East Blackwood's primary forward-supply-outpost in the region.
East Blackwood invites all allies, friends and "frienamies" to join them in their potential new home for drink, entertainment and a chance to speak with one another concerning matters of war and conquest in the name of the Elements. There is, however, trouble. There is always trouble. Perhaps those who are arriving for the festivities could assist?

The Plot
(NOTE: Plot subject to change depending on the success or failure of the missions at Blood of the Validar 1 )
Last year at the First Night at the Salty Stick, an Embassy Guard and a Merchant were both murdered. One of the guests was also a target of the murderer but was able to fight him off. The murderer was caught but he killed himself before he could be questioned. After these attacks an investigation was launched led by Master Gideon Klaud and Logaan, Champion of the Embassy Guard.
What was learned:
A count from Lady Anna's homeland has been attempting to coarse her into marriage presumably to join her families lands and incomes to his own. He has also attempted to coarse a companion of Lady Anna, Lurius, into convincing Lady Anna to agree to the terms.
At the Summer Campaign (Conquest 2022) Lady Anna received a bleeding skull from an unknown sender. Lady Anna received a Declaration of Mortality for her brother Lord Valintine von Rabenau. At the First Night at the Salty Stick a ritual spell was performed to determine the fate of the person who's skull Lady Anna had received. The owner of the skull was determined to be Lord Valintine von Rabenau and his murderers were men and women baring the Count's heraldry.
The assassin at the First Night of the Salty Stick confirmed his identity as being a member of the Brotherhood of the Crescent. He was reported to have been asking after "The Lady" and "Her Decision" but beyond that there is yet nothing to connect the Brotherhood definitively to the Count. All evidence that has been collected has been given to Baron Sir Varik of Zweiwasser.
Lady Anna has a plan to perhaps end this issue once and for all. She plans on inviting the Count to Mythodea to speak on a potential marriage contract. Commander Anthem of the Embassy Guard has also increased security measures with the help of some allies to counter the Brotherhood of the Crescent should they strike again.
Crusade:
East Blackwood and her allies have marched South to Kahl'Hatra to fight against the Forsaken Black Ice in a holy war. Many have there own reasons for being here but for whatever the reason, they have marched on. With a small portion of Kahl'hatra secured, East Blackwood has established themselves in a small villiage. Although the locaiton is behind the front lines, the Forsaken are still a present threat. How or will the Black Ice attempt to harm the Settlers and Crusaders? That remains to be seen.
Update 13.07.2023: After bloody fighting in the center of East Kahl'Hatra and in the South, a few semi-permanent outposts were secured. In the North, facing weaker resistance, an abandoned village was secured. At Camp C at the Hill of Firs Validar, the Crusaders and Settler forces managed to secure the region and cleanse it of Black Ice corruption allowing the land the chance to heal. In the North the region was secured but the land has a blight over it that must be cured if East Blackwood plans to stay there. The land needs to heal there as well. But what is this blight? How can we cure it?
OT: Explanation
The plot consists of two parts, a continuation of the ongoing Brotherhood of the Crescent and Syconian Count story and the continuation of the Crusade of the Elements against the Black Ice in Kahl'hatra. For this Con the plot is designed to add flavor and engagement for those who whish to participate. It should only serve to supplement the Con rather than dominate it as the Salty Stick hopes to provide character play and celebration of life. Still, there should be plenty of flavor weaved into the two Con days.
