Introduction to the Unfated Wanderers
The beginning of another epic tale!
The Unfated Wanderers is the sequel to The Demon Plague Verses. This tale follows the further adventures of Billet Stormstone and Vilerend Skymarch. Like DPV, The Unfated Wanderers (UF) chronicles events from the gaming table. I have made changes to the story where necessary. Some gaming endeavors are not fit for these tales, such as side quests, random encounters and other things that do not propel the story forward. Time has also been adjusted when necessary.
DPV was presented as an epic poem. The in-world story is that Tong Shatterbone commissioned a poet to write the tale of Vilerend and Billet. He wanted the world to know who had restored the process of death. The world needed to know who saved them. At the end of the Demon Plague, most people still had no idea why it had happened. The poem was copied and spread to every village, city and caravan on Linomnount. Public readings were sponsored by the Learned Scholars of Icebrunt. As such, Billet and Vilerend became quite famous.
UF was written by a different in-world poet. This tale is presented as prose poetry. The first canto will be posted on March 10th. Prepare yourself for mysterious giants, bizarre entities, supreme betrayal and the culmination of a long-laid, nefarious plan.
