Hooks
From the royal balcony, to a grand audience of enthused citizens, the Dwarven King's herald is crying a mission ordained by the king himself. He seeks to employ five adventurers, a Commander, a Survivalist Guide, a Divine Scholar, a Tomb Raider, and a Guardian. The chosen heroes will enter the deadly boneback canyons where they will seek to return a divine relic long ago lost to the King's ancestors. The reward is great, the choice of any one item from the king's treasure room or armory, but the risk is greater. The King will not tolerate failure, and the bonebacks are a treacherous, merciless land. One must not travel far before crossing into the a region of the canyons known as Dragon's Crest. It is true that none have ever returned from this place having witnessed dragons, but it is assumed that there they must be, for no one has ever returned from that place at all.
