Welcome To Fort Lyonhall
One brutal summer evening, a most peculiar event unfolded at Fort Lyonhall. The usual joyous and communal atmosphere of the Fort had recently become charged with tension. You see, only a few days prior, a baffling incident has occurred - an enigmatic artifact, later dubbed the Fellstar, fell from the sky. Its arrival during a meteor shower had captured the attention of everyone, from curious Bards to vigilant Guardians.
But it wasn’t the discovery of the Fellstar that surprised the small band of Citizens on this summer day; as dusk descended upon Fort Lyonhall, guests from worlds unknown— aptly and quickly dubbed as "World Walkers"—began to stream through a portal, adding an air of excitement and mystery to the evening's festivities. The initial reaction among the guild members was a mix of apprehension and delight; they were eager yet uncertain about the newcomers. Each guild saw this influx as an opportunity to recruit fresh talent, seeking adventurers who were willing to join their respective causes.

The guests were warmly welcomed, given a tour of the fort, and brought up to speed on the ongoing projects and goals. Lively conversations ensued, punctuated by the musical interludes of the Bards. However, the merriment drastically shifted when Professor Galandris announced that the Fellstar had mysteriously vanished from its secured location.
With urgency filling the air, the guilds quickly organized an investigation among the guests. The mood spiked in intensity as guild members discussed evidence, some of which served as red herrings while others pointed toward the true perpetrator. Each guild presented clues: a set of spent magical lockpicks, linked to elven crafts; traces of magical powder that could only be used by someone familiar with secrecy and stealth; and more. Accusations flew as the guests collaborated to uncover the threads of truth amidst the chaos.
The guests, now determined investigators, prepared to submit who they thought the suspects were. However, just as the World Walkers prepared to cast their judgement - the Elven Ranger, Nym, suddenly made a desperate attempt to flee, igniting a dramatic chase scene across the ramparts of the fort. The Guardians sprang into action, a coordinated pursuit that turned the night into a whirlwind of action and excitement for the guests. The climax reached its height as Nym was apprehended, and World Walkers tugged at the threads of justice and morality in their votes on how to deal with her: banishment, execution, or community service.
In the end, the World Walkers showed Nym grace, and she was thus sentenced to community service. In the aftermath of the event, Fort Lyonhall evolved not just as an outpost fortified with defenses, but as a vibrant nexus of stories, alliances, and magic. As whispered conversations of alliances formed and stories spun lingered, the promise of future adventures beckoned. With curiosity as their guide, the World Walkers embraced the magical uncertainties that awaited them in the world of Miscuri.
