Campaign Event: The Radiant Dragon Crisis
by Sean MeaneyMystaran Almanac Review: As of the end of the year AC1019, the Nightdragon Synn (Dolores Hillsbury) has discovered the existance of the Radiance. Unless some heroes rise to prevent her, she is likely to absorb five thousand Rad during the day without Magic occuring at the end of AC1020 (directly interfacing with the Artefact known as the Nucleus of the Spheres) at a moment when Wizards will be unable to oppose her - having teleported in a moment before Midnight.
Thaumont 25 AC1020: Dolores conducts an experiment where she absorbs 100RAD and uses it to craft an Immortal Artefact of Minimum Power; She ships it off to Karameikos so her new minion: The Lich Priest Korizegy can establish his Arch-Bishopric in western Karameikos.
