32 Chapter 1: Campaigns in tal'Dorei

A common rumor states that numerous political fig-

ures who publicly decry the event secretly partake in the

gambling, and the location of the event is concealed not

only by magic, but also impenetrable layers of bureaucracy.

Kraghammer has hosted the event several times, with most

local guard and political clan houses turning a blind eye.

If there is a nest of Clasp working near an event, it’s not

uncommon for the Brawlers’ League to hire them to get

word out to the right folk, providing protection and allow-

ing them to grant loans to poorer patrons.

The Chamber of Whitestone

Generations ago,

a team of intrepid

explorers and for-

tune seekers sailed

from Port Damali

in Wildemount

to Northeastern

Tal’Dorei through the

Shearing Channel,

but wrecked upon

the Alabaster Sier-

ras’ rocky cliffs. The

expedition was led by

a human family called

de Rolo, and they

bravely led the survivors

to safety after the wreck.

They took refuge in a valley

within the Alabaster Sierras, and

there they discovered the holy Sun

Tree, a radiant tree blessed by the Dawnfather. A com-

munity grew around the sacred tree, and the respected

and beloved de Rolos were exalted to lords of their set-

tlement, which they called Whitestone.

The sovereign city-state of Whitestone enjoyed peace

for many generations outside of larger scale politics, but

this peace came to an abrupt halt when Lord Sylas and

Lady Delilah Briarwood, opportunistic cultists of the

Whispered One, invaded Whitestone and slaughtered

the de Rolos. Their reign ended six years later when

the only surviving de Rolos, Percival and Cassandra,

reclaimed the city with the aid of Vox Machina. With

the tyrants dethroned, Percival established a council

titled the Chamber of Whitestone to rule in his fre-

quent absence, and the city strives to return to a time of

prosperit y.

goals

Under the watch of Lady Cassandra de Rolo, the cham-

ber handles and surveys all political aspects of life in

Whitestone. Its foremost goals are to undo the damage

done by the Briarwoods, to repair its shattered infra-

structure, and to restore trade with the rest of Tal’Dorei.

Whitestone provided haven for refugees after the

Chroma Conclave destroyed Emon, and the city has

become a major player within the realm of Tal’Dorei. Its

need to make alliances and rebuild its broken military

has never been greater.

Current Chamber leadership is organized by areas of

responsibilit y.

• The Guardian of Woven Stone is the title given to
  the central figure on the council, responsible for
  higher civil justice, community unification, and
  oversight of internal government.


• The Steward of Sunblessed Gifts is responsible for
  local farming and goods, overseeing distribution
  between citizens and exportation.


• The Curator of Fortune’s Bounty is responsible for
  all major commerce, both local and regarding trade
  with allied/foreign entities.


• The Keeper of Divine Virtue is responsible for reli-
  gious organization and spiritual guidance in the
  multiple faiths within the region, both as a reli-
  gious leader, and protector of practices.


• The Pale Lord of Wardship is responsible for the
  enforcement of local law and organization of the
  Paleguard, acts as judge on smaller matters of civil
  justice, and oversees defense of the city during
  times of war.


• The Sophist of Native Ingenuity is responsible for
  the construction and infrastructure of the city
  and castle.


• The Grand Mistress of the Grey Hunt is responsible
  for diplomatic relations, and rooting out indigenous
  dangers throughout the Parchwood to protect the
  citizens of Whitestone.

relationships

Whitestone’s previous solitary existence, despite its benefits,

left it without allies in its time of need. The Chamber of

Whitestone has developed a relationship with the Council

of Tal’Dorei to better ensure their city’s safety. These days,

trade caravans are a common sight along the Silvercut

Roadway, transporting goods between Whitestone and
