PREMISE: The Quest to recover the Crown of the Elf-King
FIRST PERIOD: The Prophesy
Event: Half elf necromancer Kamuun-Taa is condemned by the emperor of the island realm of Pagatalynx to eternal imprisonment in the catacombs under Mount Siptorath. Before he is taken away, he works potent magics upon a miniature brass bell, and has it smuggled to the continent by one of his minions. Kamuun-Taa is never heard from again. The bell, alleged to be a weapon of obscene power, become known as The Voice of Kamuun-Taa.
Event: The Crown of the Elf-King is forged. the mystic ruby The Soul of Sh'nn T'arth is set as the centerpiece of the crown. The Soul is a gift to the Elf-King from the king of the Centaurs, meant to seal their alliance and represent the eternal friendship between Centaurs and Elves.
Event: Yoen D'Kari, the Elf-King's court seer, predicts a war with the Centaurs. The only person he tells of this is Taesa, the king's advisor, who keeps the information to herself in the hopes of keeping it from coming true.
Event: Taesa is killed when she saves the king from an assassination attempt. In a tragic - but likely inevitable - twist of fate, this assassination plot is carried out by a band of Centaurs who are part of an extremist group who seek war with the elves rather than friendship. Naturally, when the assassination team's leader Kor Ruus is captured, he pretends to tell the Elves everything but in fact gives them nothing but lies designed to make the Elves think that Centaurs are secretly pulling the wool over their eyes.
Event: Convinced that the Crown is cursed, the Elf-King delivers it to the Gnomes and asks them to use their magic to conceal it from the elves for all time.
Event: Before the Gnome-King Atticus Oldblood can complete the spell that will hide away the crown, his castle is besieged by the criminal cartel of Kullen Greedygut. The cartel is fought off and none of the royal family are harmed, but they manage to escape with several of the gnome's treasures, including the crown. Kullen takes the crown for himself, but sells The Soul of Sh'nn T'arth to Mordecai the Wandering Wizard.
***Event: Centaur General Kar Varus, eager to earn glory in war, convinces the Centaur King that the Elf-King's rejection of the crown is a grave insult against his honor. The King is reluctant to declare war, but gives Kar Varus permission to launch a raid against an Elvish outpost as "appropriate punishment" for the insult.
PERIOD: The Siege of the Dragon's Nest
Event: Looking to recover the crown, the Elf-King sends an elite team of trusted soldiers to the crowns last reported location. This location is the nest of X'zalliavasha, Queen of the Dragons.
Event: Breowynn, middle daughter of a farming family in the rustic Willowfall region, shelters an injured woman in the family barn. Unknown to her, the woman is really X'zalliavasha Queen of the Dragons, disguised in human form and fleeing after being attacked and injured by centaur General Kar Varus. X'zalliavasha swears an oath of gratitude and bestows the Voice of Kamuun-Taa on Breowynn.
PERIOD: Declarations of WAR
PERIOD: The Flight of the Ancient Castle
ENDING PERIOD: The final battle between the Centaurs and the Elves.

****Event: Kullen Greedygut, taking up wearing the Crown of the Elf-King and insisting on being referred to as King of Thieves, embarks on a series of bolder and bolder raids, cumulating in an ill-advised attempt to steal the horde of the Dragon Queen.
