The Hook

▶ GM Read-Aloud

The adventure begins not on a ship, but in the quiet hum of an old bookshop on the harbor edge. The Father — running an errand on his way home — browses the weathered spines when a book falls open at his feet. Inside, pressed between yellowed pages: a folded note, edges worn, ink faded but legible.

📜 The Note

"To the blood of my blood — I have left what was promised. Beyond the Shattered Reach, where the wake speaks and the stone sleeps, you will find what I could not carry home. The sea remembers those who seek. Come when you are ready. Come when you are whole."

▶ GM Read-Aloud

Below, a crude sketch: an island, two peaks, a circle of stones. And a name — worn away, unreadable. The bookshop owner remembers nothing. The note has no return address. It has been waiting here, somehow, for years.

Next: The Frozen Strait

The pendant leads north — into waters so cold the waves freeze mid-crash. There, beneath a glacier, a Viking queen waits in a hall of ice and memory. Her pendant was stolen by a rival clan. Your family must choose: return what you found, or keep it and face the consequences.
