Kiris Dahn

The ruined town that set the stage for our company's first adventure together.

History
The human town of Kiris Dahn thrived for centuries in the Vale. During its most prosperous days, the ruler commissioned a number of powerful magic stones from a group of Tiefling artificers. These stones, called Slaying Stones, were used to defeat the leaders of any army that attacked the town, and ensured its safety. However, as the decades wore on, the eight stones that were commissioned had been spent.

The Kiris family founded a centuries-long dynasty as the ruling family of the town. It had been rumoured that thier rise to power was tied to the slaying stones.

As previously mentioned, Kiris Dahn was widely known for its extensive library, but was also known for its bustling market district and the magnificent architecture of its temples. For many, Kiris Dahn was a shining promise of what the vale would become.

Its splendor is likely what drew the attention of the goblin tribes in the region, but no one can claim to fully know their motivations. In the last few weeks before it was pillaged, the Kiris family locked themselves away in the manor. While it enraged the common folk, there was little they could do with the horde so near their gates. Their ragtag militia did what it could to defend the town, but were quickly overwhelmed. Those that fled discovered, much later, that all of the slaying stones were gone… and with them, Kiris Dahn.

The Company Arrives
Our ragtag band of adventurers answered the call of Treona, the former king's trusted advisor to infiltrate the city and retrieve a final slaying stone from the ruins. We quickly infiltrated the town by way of the front gate. Moving from the library, to the shine, and the estate to conduct the slaying stone location ritual at each stop. We fought goblin mages, burrowing ankheg, and a wererat named Kiris Hoyt. We also tangled with orcs that belonged the the cult of the severed eye. Finally this lead us to the hot spring baths and into the tunnels beneath the city. There we encountered a brass dragon and her hoard containing the final slaying stone.

We negotiated for possession of the stone and after some convincing by Veldrin, the dragon gave up her burden. Mitas the elf took the stone into his care.

After recovering the stone and exiting the baths, we were ambushed by orcs. After a fierce battle, we left the city to meet with Treona and hand over the stone as agreed. Treona conducted her ritual and destroyed the stone so that it would no longer be a danger to anyone. We collected our reward and headed on our way, back to the city of Fallcrest.
