Mythic Bastionland - THE LAST AGE - AVARICE

04 Jul, 2026

1. A stopped carriage, guards on duty. A well dressed man inspects a parchment. Amicable unless forced or compelled to share the document, which he will stop by force. If players show honesty, the man reveals its a map for a special location in the realm, and soon everyone will hear of this discovery.
2. Birds and small animals run from the direction of the Myth Hex. Soon after, a hot wind blows from the same direction.
3. A pauper prospector travels by mule towards the Myth Hex. Claims men found the path to the bowels of the earth, and any person seeking riches may partake, for a price, which he claims he can pay. The mule pulls a beautiful image of a golden saint through the dirt.
4. Statues of saints used as gibbets. Five dirty individuals dangle from ropes around their necks, skin dried and red like roasted meat, missing a leg. Next to them, a sign reads "Heed this warning / Maimed for stealing / Hanged for trying again"
5. Three haunted prospectors, bandaged with wounds and gravely burnt, open a mass grave. A dozen corpses lay on their cart (some without a leg, all with burnt crackled skin). The three argue they should not go back to the mines, for the Well Dressed Man seeds doom. If left be, they settle for returning: they can just make it big this time.
6. The Well Dressed Man, flayed from the neck down, bound to an improvised cross, laughs manically. Claims the THRONE has been found, and desires to be cut loose so he can return to the mines and watch. Makes promises of riches if they take him back.
7. A massive quarry, dug hundreds of meters down, a nauseating lukewarm and sulfurous heat accompanied by a dark smoke billows from its center. Hundreds fight in a bloodbath of violence, all rushing towards the THRONE. Shining from the heart of the mine, the unearthed THRONE of pure gold. The flayed man dances throughout the bloodshed.
