Favors of Fortune

In the uneasy calm following the gods’ brief but brutal war, Mithaniel Marr and Rallos Zek struggle to forge a truce. Yet even as they negotiate the end of open conflict, Mithaniel’s focus fractures. A shadow clings to his thoughts, an unspoken fear for his sister, Erollisi Marr. Something has changed in her, something he cannot ignore. When he finally speaks, his voice carries a weight that shakes even the divine: Scorn has returned.

As adventurers begin their search, the first signs are subtle, then unmistakable. Across the lesser planes, chance itself twists unnaturally. Simple gambles collapse into disaster. Once‑reliable odds warp into impossibility. Victories slip away as though guided by an unseen hand. The very fabric of luck feels poisoned, bent toward failure by a force both deliberate and unseen. No one can yet explain how or why, only that the pattern is spreading.

With the gods distracted, fate unraveling, and Scorn’s influence rising, the path ahead grows darker by the hour. The champions of Norrath must step forward once more, not knowing whether fortune will favor them, or betray them at every turn.
