Cold Iron Avail You!
Thank you, travelers, for joining us for the Weekend in Highfolk!
The trees have been listening, and they’ve heard your footsteps upon their roots, your voices echoing through their glades, and the laughter and valor you brought to the Free Lands. Tales of your deeds are already spreading on the wind, carried from the silver waters of the Velverdyva to the shadowed depths of the Vesve.
Yet… whispers linger of a few brave souls who took up the hidden riddles and secret quests woven through the forest’s song. A rare few found what waited in the dark; a vision not their own, whispered by the Thorn that Devours, showing what should never have been seen…
What will become of Highfolk when we return to its shadowed glades and starlit paths for the next Weekend in Highfolk?
The forest remembers…
Unpacking After Your Adventure
The High Forest does not sleep. It watches, it knows. Its roots shift beneath the soil, its leaves murmur of what has passed and of what is yet to come.
As you take a moment to rest and recover from your journey, remember that your actions have already left ripples across the Free Lands, and Talisyr, Mayor of the Free City of Highfolk, offers his gratitude and his trust to all who stood watch in its defense.
If you missed the announcement in the event server, good news:
The Shield of Highfolk reward (which grants one D20 Test reroll) has been extended! If you earned this boon but didn’t use it during the event, you may carry it forward into next month’s VDDW adventures. When you do, simply tell your DM to alert an ADMIN so it can be recorded as expended.
To those who braved every trial and completed all three adventures: your deeds have not gone unnoticed.
- Keep a close watch on your email in the coming days. You’ll soon receive a preview of the regional meta-organizations tied to the Free Lands of Highfolk. And be given a rare opportunity to help determine which one will be promoted first within the Free Lands.
- You will also be invited to hold council and cast your vote for a location deep within the Vesve, where heroes will next journey to confront the spreading corruption, uncover its secrets, and seek a means to counter its growing evil.
And to those who stood against the dark ritual in Trail of Corruption, know this: your efforts were not in vain. Many fell short of stopping the ritual, but many others succeeded. The sages of Highfolk now study the omens and tally the outcomes to determine which path the story will follow from that fateful fork in the road.
Shadows lengthen across the land. The Free Folk brace for the coming darkness.
Your story has only just begun.
