The Eye of the Gods. For as long as you can remember, your father searched for the Eye. The gateway to a new world and a life of everlasting peace. Some say it’s a myth. Others say it existed once but the fates have destroyed it to prevent contamination of our world with a would-be-paradise. But a few believe. Your father got close - and promised that after he found the portal, he would return and take you and your mother through to a safe place, free from the daily worries and dangers that plague the world you live in now. That was almost 20 years ago - and he never returned from his expedition to the Greymoor Mountains. The Mountains of Madness, or so they are known, have long been a mysterious place which few mortals dared to cross. They are so named because many who attempt to cross them wind up with few wits with which to cope with life. The terrible creatures are only part of the problem - and the slow march into derangement has claimed more than a few poor souls.
In the fateful days leading up to your decision to follow in your father’s footsteps there was much trepidation. You tried to make it in this harsh world but too often life’s pains bore down on you. The time has come for action. You gather what few bits of equipment you own and head to the Tavern of The Falling Leaves.
Your equipment currently consists of: Rusty Longsword (+0), well-worn Tunic, some old Leather Boots and 2 gold pieces.

I wake up on the morning which marks the 20th anniversary father setting off on his journey to the Greymoor Mountains where he sought to find the Eye of the Gods. I thought him a fool then, but as the years passed and the rumors spread, the evidence became all too compelling. Father was on to something. I decided nearly a year ago to follow his trail and see for myself. It's too late to turn back now, so I suppose I'll head over to the Tavern of the Falling Leaves for one last drink before I set off, for that drink may just be my last. May Ishra watch over me.

I am restless. They say it the same spirit my father had. I must trust their memories, because I never met him. He left on a quest for the Eye of the Gods when my mother was pregnant with me. He promised to return before the new moon, but he didn't. People say she held out hope for years, longer than she should have and that is what crushed her spirit. My mother will still speak of my father, but as often as she did when I was younger. She used to speak fondly of his dreams of a better life for she and I. Now she is too beaten down by the world. But I can see in her eye she still wants to believe in them.
Life for us has been tough on the frontier, and made no easier by the village's dismissive attitude towards my father. They will never give me an opportunity to succeed here. I must make my way in the world; find my path. For me that path will take me into the Mountains of Madness. I will find out my father's true fate and then move on, out from the shadow he has cast on my life.

Following his father's notes from years ago, Milan boards a ship for the distant shores his father sought. He even makes his offering to the gods to ensure a safe voyage. However, the gods, it seems, cannot be appeased by at mere fatted calf, at least not where the Eye of the Gods is concerned. Fate chose to scowl at poor Milan, and mid journey, a mighty tempest rose from the salty brine of the sea and shattered his ship to splinters. The last thing Milan remembered before he passed out was trying to untangle himself from the ship's rigging as what little remained sunk.
He awoke on a beach, limbs still ensnared by waterlogged ropes, which to his great fortune, still clung tightly to the severed mast that anchored them. Perhaps some power on high--or down below--still favored him and his quest.
Freeing himself from his confines and his salvation, he checked himself for anything that might be of some use. All he could find on his person was: Rusty Longsword (+0), well-worn Tunic, some old Leather Boots and 2 gold pieces.
Could that be all? He scoured the beach, searching among the drift wood and the assorted flotsam and jetsam washed ashore by the storm, but found nothing more of use. Gone were the sacks of gold, the ropes, the maps, the magical items he'd spent years accumulating. It would seem he would have to find this treasure the hard way.
Spotting a path a short ways down the beach, Milan gathered what few possessions still remained to his name and moved along, spotting in the distance... could it be? Yes! The first landmark on his journey!
The Tavern of the Falling Leaves!
He made it! Clearly someone, or something, wanted him to succeed. But who? And why?
