Do You Speak Draconic?

After being invited to a celebratory party, the Chainbreakers spent their afternoon preparing for the party for the high nobility of Wileforge and start off by buying some new apparel. After learning a bit about Ryfir's peculiar hair, they make their way to the Ironbeard Manor to be celebrated by the city and be rewarded 2500 gold each for their efforts in the Rodist Vale Swamp.

At the party, the group meets the Cloud Council, a collection of the rulers of nearby cities that work together to ensure peace throughout their lands. They also had an encounter with Remcast, a prominent figure in Balkas Waves' past. After overhearing a conversation regarding the transfer of 12 "units" between Remcast and a mysterious figure, Zorander Rex, Balkas lets the party know of the impending caravan. Jean, wanting to keep tabs on the situation, introduced himself and the rest of the Chainbreakers to Zorander who invited them to "try out" for the role of protecting the caravan on its way to Veritas. After a quick battle with some of Zorander's lackeys, he seemed impressed with their battle skill, but didn't fully trust the party enough to allow them to accompany the caravan on the way to Veritas. At this news, Balkas attacked Zorander while in bear form and a second fight broke out. Zorander held his own, alone, and the battle eventually dissipated with Zorander and his group, the Mistcallers, heading out with their caravan to Veritas. The Chainbreakers then headed to Dwynn Foehand, the Valor Guard commander in Wileforge and let him know of the situation. Foehand, having had history with Zorander Rex, gave the group a cart of their own to travel with. Arcas Swill was the next stop, which is where the party met Tyrrath Shadowhorn, who agreed to join them on their adventure. The party, including Tyrrath, headed out to Veritas to catch up to Zorander Rex and attempt to recover whatever the 12 units were. Upon arrival, they found the Great Tree of Veritas along the western gate with 5 bodies hanging from it, all with red 'x's painted on their chest, each matching one of the races of the party members. It seems they were prepared for the Chainbreakers arrival.
