Last Stand of Fallingstar
Dec. 1, 2020 - Jan 31, 2021 Story event
The first major event in RoS. It centered around a conflict between the Land of Rivers town of Fallingstar, and an encampment of Xocrian dragonslayers and knights sent to hunt down their leader and mayor, Discite Justitiam Moniti.
With the help of the player characters, Discite and the town of Fallingstar survived and pushed back the raiders, in the aftermath founding an alliance with other Land of Rivers border towns known as the Southern League to help protect against further attack.

Exiles of the Old Kingdom
Story event Jun. 20 - Aug. 29, 2021
During the summer of 504, a mysterious, ancient island cloaked in legend was rediscovered, leading to a conflict between Ironbrook and the windwyrms as competing claims to the Isle of Ghosts were made. As tensions grew worse, another, perhaps more shocking, revelation was had; the Isle was not abandoned as it had been believed, and a faction of windwyrms thought killed by their leaders - the Seraphim - had been living in hiding there for more than a century. Now, with dozens of strangers on their shores and violence breaking out, they feared a final annihilation.
With the help of the player characters, the Seraphim were able to survive the summer and remain independent from any one faction, successfully brokering an agreement between Ironbrook and the other windwyrms to allow the Isle of Ghosts to remain under their stewardship. With the danger gone, the island has opened up to the outside world once more.

AnnouncementWrath of the Sun King
Jun. 1 - Jul. 15, 2022 Story event
After the Scions of the Sun offer shelter to a pair of wanted criminals, King Tigerlilly declares the priesthood treasonous and orders their destruction. With this command tensions that had been brewing in the sundrake kingdom for centuries catch alight, and all eyes turn to the standoff at Memory, between the Scions and those they shelter and the forces of the Tyrian king.
Through the influence of the player characters, the people of Memory remain defiant, leading to the King’s forces attacking once reinforcements arrive. The Scion Skoll and a group of refugees sacrifice themselves so that the others may escape the city through a recently-discovered route through the caves. The battle turns the sacred city to ruin, and as word spreads of King Tigerlilly’s blasphemy, the Tyr Kingdom fractures into several competing factions all fighting to decide the future of the kingdom.

Siege of the North

Siege of the North took the players to the Dutorian capital, Dura, throughout the winter of 505 into 506. There they weathered a deadly siege by ice monsters, and with their help, the city’s defenders were able to just barely hold on until the warmer weather came.

Captains’ Carnivale
Story event April 2nd - May 17th, 2023
Each year hundreds of people flock to the Drifting City to celebrate the supposed birthday of Captain Aleutian, the first Pirate Queen, in the Captains’s Carnivale. The day that she came into the world is marked with appropriate gusto, and the ensuing party can last for over a month. When no Pirate Queen rules the Archipelago, those who wish to follow in her footsteps host their own event at the Carnivale to try to win support.
In 506, the four major Captains vying for the position of Pirate Queen gathered in the Drifting City... and only three emerged from the celebrations alive.

Path of the Moon
Summer 2023 Story event
In the summer of 506, the Aurora Expedition - a joint venture between Dutoria, the Land of Rivers, and Xocrium - set out to explore the Frozen Gates with the aid of a new, protective potion. On their journey, they found an abandoned moonviper village, and later rediscovered the ancient capital of the moonvipers, where the expedition fought and slew the half-alive remains of an elder drake.
After over a month traversing Frozen Gates, the Aurora Expedition began its long trek back to mainland Theavia. When they arrived in Dura’s harbour in mid-September, they brought with them stories of their adventure, and lost knowledge from the edge of nowhere…

The Heron’s Ballad
Winter 2023 Story event
In the winter of 506, Padwell hosted a magnificent theatre festival in its capital, to celebrate its culture and impress several important guests invited from abroad. The country’s best performers - as well as many of its worst - gathered upon its streets to show off their skills.
Though a Xocrian plot that nearly interrupted the celebrations, the assistance of Redwing agents and volunteers saved the day. The festival ultimately ended up being successful, and gave visitors from across the Realm a new appreciation for Padwell’s culture and people.
