Seafall: A Tale of Three Provinces Prologue **Spoilers**

I'm going to be documenting our Seafall Legacy campaign! As a warning, I won't even remotely try to hide spoilers- this is for those who either don't care about spoilers or have already played through their own game. You have been WARNED!

____________________________________________________________________________



So far we have played through the Prologue, and the most fun thing to happen is the preliminary naming of many things- from provinces through ships and leaders. In our first game we also found out that raiding brings all the points, but we also know that in the future enmity will be an important (hopefully equalizing) factor... otherwise its going to be a really bloody dozen or so games.

The story thus far is three leaders were chosen, going out into the sea's for some exploring and exploitation... only for each of the three to be taken by strange dreams. Dreams forcing them to sail out into the unknown west.

And apparently... never come back.
My faction of red! The Province port is known as 'Holystone'.

My brother's faction in the purple, Aegia! Province Port is 'Bastion'.

Dad's province of green, with a port named 'Ridgeport'.

The green ship's names.

Aegia's leader on the left, Ilnea's on the right.

And my avatar for the game, Adelina of Baccanos.

Jeanette Schloss, former ruler of the Aegia province. She was known (in the prologue)
for dealing quite harshly with the natives before disappearing.

Elias Crane, the ruler of Ilnea. Rising from the worst poverty to the top station
in the country, Elias was a wise leader who was focused on discovering everything
the local island chains had to offer before disappearing.

Alphonse Alecto, brother to Adelina, was a veritable prodigy. Gifted with trade
and infrastructure planning, he was poised on the edge of making the Alecto House
the merchant powerhouse it was in the past... before the dream's led him to disappear
to the West.

All of the advisors named so far.

The islands on the right side of board...

... and on the left.
With our leaders heading out into the unknown, they are torn up... and motivations immediately begin to foment in our minds:

Adelina Alecto: The sister of the disappeared Alphonse, and new ruler of the Province of Baccanos. Suddenly left with a teetering merchant empire full of uncertainty and plagued with the rabid writings found in her brother's journal about a strange vision and an unknowable quest that took him away. She know goes west with a level head with hopes of finding her brother, and solidifying her families fragile power.

Dorian Endarian: Elias Crane was more than just the ruler of your province- he was a dear friend and mentor. You fought hard to take his position after he disappeared- his policies and dreams for the province must be defended from the ravenous legislature. Though... the dreams that he had of late were strange- what could be so important out west? He must know.

Marcus Schloss: To Marcus, his sudden ascension to ruler of his province came as a pleasant surprise. Legacy was all that mattered to his mother, and she raised him as such. Cold and even a little cruel, she assured that Marcus excelled in all things- but it also meant that few tears were shed at her disappearance. Unconcerned with his mother's fate, Marcus turns his eyes hungrily out west to claim the fame and legacy that he deserves- even if his laurels must be dipped in blood.

So, as we have our important characters, and not much else. It WAS just the prologue after all. Be sure to stay tuned for future updates and have a happy Thanksgiving!
