With a famine and drought sorely effecting the lands of the Kingdom of Arisilon, the Prince Regent has grown worried, and sent two young warriors that had tested their mettle: Vernor and Talon to the city of Eganstar to find the Sorceror Kaltham in the Red Cathedral and implore him to act, if he could, against the famine and its possible causes. Here they meet the sorceress Alicia who is also waiting for an audience with the infamous sorcerer, and Caroddoc joins them shortly as well, though his purpose with the sorcerer is less scrutable. Any other traveling companions the characters have wait outside in the main foyer of the Cathedral.
