Announcing PrinceCon 36: Champions of the Light
Sixty-three years ago, a generation saved the world; now it is our
turn to save them.
The name of Malchion, Mage-King of Sumerilon, is a byword for cruelty
and evil. After a long and hopeless campaign by the alliance known as
"Champions of the Light", he was destroyed against all expectation.
The great General Ironhewer forced a path through Malchion's armies,
and none other than Romulus Pendragon struck the fatal blow. He led
the Archmages and the High Priests and Priestesses of the Nine Gods to
the final confrontation where they combined spells and prayers too
deadly and dangerous to be risked again. Though they destroyed their
foe, all save Pendragon were consumed along with him. In the wake of
the devastation, only four of the Gods remain active enough in mortal
affairs to have numbers of miracle-working priests.
The Champion's children lived in relative peace. In turn, their
children (and their adventurous contemporaries) were raised on tales
of the grandparent's exploits, wistfully imagining what they might
have done in a generation called to heroism. But be careful of what
you wish for: there have been a series of high-profile murders under
circumstances that suggest dark magics, and word has leaked from the
Justiciar's office that each victim was or had a connection to a
famous Champion.
General Ironhewer himself has come out of retirement to lead the
investigation out of Hireling Hall, and is calling on adventurers of
all races: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Fey, Hobbits, and even the Catfolk,
otterlike Perrin and horselike Eponai to assemble at 5PM on the 11th
of March, 2011 to help investigate these murders, and to discover what
lies behind them.
