Five thousand years ago in the lost age of Blackmoor, an artifact of power, some say a marooned ship, began its part in the history of Mystara, a part no one expected and some did not desire. Fearful of its power and driven to action by their Immortals, a band of heroes set out to destroy it in the past to undo its influence on the world. The artifact’s destruction rippled through time. In the present, the arcane was weakened. Led by their Immortals, the clergy threw down wizard, elf, and dragon alike. Magic was abolished. Mystara was much changed. Was this the balance the Immortals sought?

The adventurers of the Karameikos campaign lived in that changed world for years under persecution of the church. Friends were burned at the stake, whole races driven from the land, and life-draining magicks began to pervade the shadows. Guided by a foreign traveler and caretaker from that artifact, our adventurers set out to undo the artifact’s destruction. Together, they opened a portal to the past to the time when the artifact was destroyed. Demons guarding the timeline stood between them and the artifact. With their arcane master’s sacrifice of his life, they gained the time they needed to convince the past heroes not to destroy the artifact. Time as we know it was restored.

Our adventurers find themselves back in Specularum, the capitol of their homeland Karameikos. The year is AC 1000, one thousand years After the Crowning of the first Thyatian emperor. The place of arcane magic has been restored, and there have been no signs of life-draining magicks. A new future unfolds as we join them in the city of the mirror bay.
