Bonaventura!

Each Adventurer has received a special invitation to join a safari into the wilds bordering on the Greenwood in hunt of wild game, hosted by the Belebrantes and by extension, Yuko Dendrarr. The invitation is geared to each specific character, as seen below:

• Lindion Mavienness - Personally invited by Yuko Dendrarr to accompany her.
• Benedict Mayflower - Having used the ruse of a hastily assembled hunting expedition company. He is to organize and guide the hunt.
• Thomas Thompson - Accompanying the expedition as some of the help, maintaining the weapons, gear and carts transporting the group.
• Father Collins - Personal guest of Yuko Dendrarr, asked along to inquire about the religious history of the Aluminat church and its beliefs.
• Dr Psmith - Invited by Lindion Mavienness as her personal physician and to lend his knowledge to the group.
• Additional guests: Anastasia Dendrarr, Telmage Etherington

Additional servants accompanying the safari are servants of the Belebrantes, Lindion's gardener, Joe, and some additional hunters to aid in the hunt. A pair of hounds are coming along as well.

Lore

The rolling plains are a sea of prairie grass, small farming communities, quaint towns, a few lakes and the Serberis River. Knots of trees, craggy rocks and low hills protrude gracefully, giving the prairie a bit of character a naturalist or painter would appreciate. 

Sitting on the horizon like a perpetual brooding storm cloud is the mysterious Greenwood. It is considered one of the last true strongholds of Elves. Not unlike the Eldren, these are pureblooded, proud and cloistered away from the rest of the High Moor. In the East, Hellgate Keep is a bastion against the creeping decay of the Tortured Lands. Two mountains peak out from the canopy of old green trees, giving a point of reference. The one in the North is named the Lonesome Peak. The cluster of mountains in the South is known as the White Peaks. Very few people venture into the wood, and those brave or foolish enough, return with stories of strange creatures, monsters and tales of daring deeds. Others just don't return. A few have even come out having no memory of anything after they tread across the border of the Greenwood. Some tell of Fairie creatures spied from the windows of the train which passes through the wood. Others glimpse strange lights and tell of spine-chilling growls and mournful howls. Not much is known of the region, and that is just how its residents would like it to stay.
