After leaving Brookhaven behind, the Outworlders take to the Wyrmstooth River alongside their newest ally, Captain Rhys Quinn. But this trade route has been abandoned for years... ever since whispers began of the Tanari, a mysterious river beast that turned safe passage into a gamble with the unknown.

As civilization fades into the distance on the journey toward Valkaar, secrets surface. The Outworlders must finally explain who and what they are… while Quinn is forced to confront his own ties to the Void... and to young Shaunus.

And the river itself isn’t the only threat. The Murkmantle Wilds have reclaimed these waters, and something is watching from the canopy above.

Safe waters are a memory. Truth has a cost. And the wilds are closing in.

In the year 887 of the Third Age of Zumundo, the island nation of Eletar vanished. Every city, ship, and soul. Gone without wreckage, survivors, or explanation.

For twenty years, the world has called it a mystery.

But a few know the truth.

And one man knows more than most. Rhys Quinn.

Because he was there.

Before he was a captain, he was just a deckhand aboard the LNS Radiance the day the sea swallowed a kingdom.

In this flashback episode, we sail into the heart of the cataclysm that reshaped Zumundo, witness the moment Eletar was lost to history, and uncover how the endless war between the Bloodfang Clan and the Luminary Order is tied to what happened in that storm.

With Roll4Real Studio temporarily under renovation, Doolin calls for a well-earned short rest from the main campaign. In this special mid-season recap, he sits down with Ian (Andrew), Amanda (Lilith), Stubbs (Alex), and newest party member Mike (Captain Quinn) to reflect on the journey so far and look ahead to what’s coming next.

⚠️ Spoiler warning for Episodes 1–15 ⚠️

Stubbs opens up about Alex’s powerful sacrifice and what it meant both in-character and at the table. Amanda dives into Lilith’s adoptive role as Shaunus' mother and how that connection could ripple through the story moving forward. Mike shares what it’s been like stepping into the campaign as Captain Quinn, going from fan of Roll4Real to full-fledged adventurer traveling alongside the Outworlders.

The party also speculates wildly (and recklessly) about the road ahead: unresolved mysteries, lingering consequences, and the questions that will shape the next chapter of the campaign.

New to Roll4Real but intimidated by jumping in at Episode 1? This episode is the perfect entry point. Catch up on the story, meet the players, and get ready for what awaits beyond the crossroads.
