Questing at Feast of the Leviathan

 

On the 10th anniversary of Feast of the Leviathan, Jason felt that the format needed to be updated for the changing times. Upon reaching a decade of history in this game, with an annual attendance reaching far past 100 people, Leviathan was begging to be transformed, to evolve into a more ambitions event. The decision was made to shift the feast itself until later in the evening, giving the Realms a solid afternoon of questing beforehand. Since Feast of Leviathan X, several different event holders have collaborated to bring their stories to the Pen & Sword.



Feast of the Leviathan X
Reign of the Just God
January 2008

 

During an era where the putrid hand of the Erl King attempted to reach ever further into the Realms, the denizens of the Lost Kingdoms had begun to sew bitter hatred amongst the common people of Vinehaeven in order to stir rebellion and occupy the attention of the Southern nations. It was their aim to anger the common man toward the heroes of the Realms who saw fit to feast during a time of scarcity and great want in the Wastes. The intervention of Justari, however, shed light on these machinations and the Just God oversaw a trial to condemn those who were pulling the strings. Yet, even as the Erl King's minions were exposed, an invading army of his strongest warriors besieged the tavern. Only after a long struggle were the heroes of the Realms successful and was Vinehaeven saved from the Rotting King's closing grasp.



Feast of the Leviathan XI
A New Pride
January 2009

 

Lurking in the surrounding woodlands, in search of ancient treasures that would further their evil plans, the Dragon Assassination Clan tracked their quarry, the key to opening the path to Death's Realm, to the nation of Vinehaeven. The heroes of the Realms raced against the ninjas to solve ancient riddles and piece together the armor of a long dead samurai of Yumenguan to summon him into the Realms. As the heroes had bested the ninja and been the ones to assemble the doorway and the armor, the great samurai Crow Feather came forth free from the mind control the Dragon Assasination Clan had sought to create. Once he stood again, he quickly defeated the ninjas as they fled before him. Though the heroes of the Realms tried to ally with this great hero, none could succeed in his test of worthiness, and he strode off into the darkness in search of his own new destiny.



Feast of the Leviathan XII
Another Hero Lost
January 2010

 

As graveyards in the surrounding countryside became mysteriously disturbed, and hosts of roving undead had been sighted in the night, it was clear that something was amiss in the land of Vinehaeven. As the heroes gathered to investigate, the foe that they were seeking emerged from the wood to greet them in battle. An immensely powerful lich who was searching for the corpses of dead heroes. These once-great men and women would be used as generals in his undead army from whom he could drain almost limitless mystic energy. Having temporarily driven off the undead sorcerer, the heroes of the Realms learned that they could disrupt his power by finding the undead heroes that served him and putting them to rest. As the day waned, they were able to do so to only a couple, after which the lich fled the area to seek safely and anonymity in the more desolate and remote parts of the Wastes.



Feast of the Leviathan XIII
A Brilliant Dawn
January 2011

 

Having dealt with the troll menace under the streets of Cold Spring for over a year, the heroes of Rhiassa were crestfallen to learn the monsters of this new clan had followed them South to Vinehaeven for the feast. Upon further investigation as to their cause, Squire Symir was captured and taken away by the trolls. Asking, once again, for the aid of the heroes of the Realms, quests were led by the members of Rhiassa to investigate the presence of these trolls and to determine the whereabouts of Symir. You can read the full account of their adventure in the What Lurks Beneath quest log, below.
