Story of the Seals

About 1000 years ago, a very evil elder god (so powerful that even to speak his name or think of him gives him power, whether one worships him or not) broke into the universe and tried to rule or destroy it. Other gods fought it back, and imprisoned it behind 7 Seals. Heironeous, Wee Jas and Ehlonna were the major gods involved in this. 7 Seals were created and carefully guarded. Currently, 4 of them are broken (resulting in, among other things, a plague of Chaos Beasts on the land. The party has been able to save one from being broken, and is looking to repair others that it knows of.

The events of 1000 years ago may be related to the raising of the great barrier mountains to the west, as well as the fact that even creatures that were alive then don't have good memories of exactly what happened back then.

Around the same time the Scar Mountains were raised by the action of many many high level magicians working together, some giving their lives in the effort. The Magicians broke the continental plate in order to do this and infused them with much magical energy powering blocking spells... The area around the mountains was so strongly infused with magic that Treant's came and settled the area creating what is now known as the Living Forest.

The guardians of the Seals kept in contact where possible, but the Elder God's followers were of course after the seals in order to destroy them and release it...

Myths and Rhymes

From speaking with the fey outside of Dallford:

Balance broken Four times, Three more and lost
Balance can be redone at a lower cost than the first time

Known/likely Seal Locations and Status

Some of this information is pulled from the partys use of the Mind Crystals

A - Mind Crystal A - Seal broken. A heavily magic'd cloaked city back several hundred years guarded by KSetax'ha. Was attacked by a Dracolich, which broke the Seal. KSetax'ha triggered a massive explosion to hopefully seal the portal and destroy the invaders as well as himself. The rift was only the size of a pea.

B - Mind Crystal B - Fershaw - Seal broken. The attackers were from the same Fershaw family of Necromancers as the Fershaw Noble involved in the Sneaky Sneaky Vampires episode in Caltha'na'b. The rift was the size of a grapefruit.

C - Mind Crystal C - Seal was broken at Battlefield in Basin by the Nasty Druid, and the location of the pieces of the Seal are hoped to be still there. Remin sealed this rift, which was big enough to drive a wagon through. This Seal has now been found and repaired.

D - Labyrinth - Seal still intact due to the actions of the party in stopping the Mind Flayer.

(One of the following is likely broken according to the rhyme...)

E - Unknown

F - Unknown

G - Unknown
