	Spinel was born into a hyena-like shifter tribe—the [[Shifter\|~~Igneus~~ of Isonhound]]—that has been decimated by recent conflicts with orcs and the more [[beast]]-like shifter tribes. In spite of their low numbers, the recent disappearance of her tribe’s sacred gems and artifacts has only strengthened their resolve to put these conflicts to end.

In spite of their low numbers, the recent disappearance of her tribe’s sacred gems and artifacts has only strengthened their resolve to put these conflicts to end.

	When she came of age, Spinel and a few of her peers traveled to a nearby wolf-like shifter tribe—[[Shifter\|the Alluvium]]—to train as soldiers. But not long into their trainings, her tribe mate [[Cobalt (shifter)\|Cobalt]]—the target of her burgeoning affections—took off one night leaving only a note behind. He stated he was going to find their tribe’s lost artifacts and not to follow, for it would be too dangerous. At first, Spinel vowed to become stronger so she could prove herself worthy of being by his side. She dipped into the arcane arts to strengthen her swordsmanship and better protect herself. But as the years passed, she realized [[Cobalt]] didn’t deserve her company. She would seek him out and get her answers…or her revenge for his seeming betrayal.

	1/21: I came to [[Synara]]. A big tree told me they saw shifters, but I thought Cobalt traveled alone. A fortune teller told me something about the last one being reborn and a [[victory]] will shift the power. But I met a Dragonborne ([[Durian]]) who also got his fortune read and I think the fortuneteller is just bad. All of a sudden lots of [[dragons]] attacked. We followed a big white one toward the mayor’s mansion. I guess it was after mayors. We were sorely underpowered for this scary dragon. Ulka rescued a lot of people, including the real mayor. A dude told the dragon, named Sro and now in [[human]] form, that he was the mayor. I tried to tell him it wasn’t him (“MAYORS DON’T READ BOOKS”) but Sro didn’t believe me. Sro got in my face but I was too scared to engage. So Sro took the dude and flew off. I don’t like this town.		1/21: I came to [[Synara]].

	2/18: We went to rescue the mayors but were really bad at being stealthy. They gave us bad guns. We met a lady named Belle who wanted to fight us. Ultimately we met Sro again, who mostly just talked to us. He said he was stealing mayors to see if the real was ready for the dangers of Tiamot. Then he said he wanted to teach us lessons about fighting dragons and some of our party fought him, but I feel like it’s bad news to fight a dragon in their home. Then he gave that as the first lesson, so didn’t I prove that I knew that lesson? It was a weird day.		2/18: We went to rescue the mayors but were really bad at being stealthy. They gave us bad guns.

I discussed this possibility with Cobalt last night and he was not happy. It is unfortunate we cannot spend more time together after so many months of misunderstanding. But I have found purpose in fighting to protect Isonhound and in being a harbinger, and if my death can bring back Sardior, then it must be so. As I write, we are getting desperate. TOWIE took the form of Bleucorundum and took the corundum egg. He was so convincing! And we were so tired from his previous attacks. But Vadeth's ring might be the answer. I will make one final plea to my guild leader to see if we can get this done. I hope Bleucorundum is proud of me. </blockquote>		Finale <blockquote>4/23 (megagame): Taking a brief rest on the mountaintops. This has not gone as planned.

Given the high [[dragon]] activity in the area, she also learned Earthbind. As a wizard, she has taken to summoning an owl familiar, who often lends advantage to her attacks. Learning war magic, Spinel has learned to use her reaction to buff her armor [[class]] or improve reactions to threats (buff saving throws with “arcane deflection.”)

	In a final attempt to purge Isonhound [[The Umbral Flood\|of the shadows]], a team of more than thirty adventurers worked together to perform a ceremony to resurrect [[Sardior]], a dragon god who might provide protection from the coming of [[Tiamat]]. This task involved protecting each of five artifacts at separate mountain peaks across the region from [[Feredemius\|TOWIE]] and his minions so the ceremony could occur. Spinel opted to protect the corundum egg, as Bleucorundum was slated to attune to it and retake her seat on [[Ruby Court\|the Ruby Court]]. However, with Bleucorundum missing, Spinel attuned to the artifact. TOWIE, however, appeared and devastated the team. He then returned in the form of Bleucorundum and stole the egg. But all hope was not lost, for Spinel requested a special [[obsidian]] artifact from the Iron Hawks leader [[Vadath\|Vadeth]], who turned it over to her. The artifact had a special ability to morph into one of the five artifacts. It became a ruby-hued obsidian egg, and Spinel attuned to the artifact. Bleucorundum finally appeared, with her apologies and appreciation. With a final sync of the five artifacts, each attuned to a dragon or harbinger, the ceremony was complete. Spinel briefly turned into a sapphire dragon herself and the egg glowed with a blinding white lighting, pushing the shadows back and ultimately revealing a scrawny looking Sardior. However, Spinel then left the mortal plane, her duties as a harbinger fulfilled.

	6/28: The mounts bite really hard, so we want to find where they are coming from. We attacked the camp head on. There was a lot of Falgrim’s fire. We had some close calls, but took them out. Only a few got away. And Vadeth finally managed to get his mount.		6/28: The mounts bite really hard, so we want to find where they are coming from. We attacked the camp head on.

	8/17: We helped a scholar from [[Deeplake]] solve a riddle. [[Elric]] kissed a frog, but it was a weird guy called the curator. Said something bad about Horatio maybe going to the Shadow Forge and we needed to prevent that. And we needed a fey key from a dragon called Uhlm. He opened a portal and went to a different plane with people who seemed weird and brainwashed. He said we needed 3 keys to get to the forge, so we did weird time travel stuff to get the same key three times. But the realm kept attacking us and it wasn’t fun. [[Eurus]] did throw a death knight off a cliff, and I was impressed. We tried to convince Uhlm to help our cause, but he wouldn’t have it.		8/17: We helped a scholar from [[Deeplake]] solve a riddle.

	10/20: Apparently hags have been wreaking [[havoc]] in Isonhound. They all left their home at the same time, so we went to their swamp to see what’s going on. A big pumpkin beast came out and also zombies that belched leaches. But I bit the leaches on me and [[Reylendor]] turned dead nicely, so we took care of everything. There were also lights floating around everywhere. [[Hugo]] and [[Kihlek]] took some of the lights. When we killed the pumpkin beast, the lights all went away, and I think they revived the comatose children. I helped Kihlek figure out how to put the [[souls]] in their bag back into other kids (downtime). I got some cool bracers.		10/20: Apparently hags have been wreaking [[havoc]] in Isonhound.

	12/13: We learned about different stones and how they react to each other. I ate my Gammelgard muffins—they are the best. [[Dippy]] acted weird and ran away. We went to the mines that had a shadow rift and fought some shadow [[demons]]. We sent our familiars into the rift and they saw some things, but it was mostly unhelpful. We took a bunch of the [[fellstone]] and blew up the mine to stop the shadows. I don’t think it helped much. But the fellstone was worth some good gold.		12/13: We learned about different stones and how they react to each other. I ate my Gammelgard muffins—they are the best.

	12/13: I got Gammelgard muffins again. We went to a place where a white dragon was supposed to be attacking, but it was just a low-level [[cult]] named the White Dragon. We magicked them to go back to Gammelgard and turn themselves in. We went to their hideout which had a shiney sphere. It shot weird light into us. It changed [[Arlin]] into a Dragonborn. The rest of us got dragon breath weapons and turned us into “harbringers.” I am the Harbinger of Bleucorundum the Sapphire. What does that mean? Also Tristam turned me into a T-rex and I got to chomp.		12/13: I got Gammelgard muffins again.

	1/21 (megagame): I went to the Pendergras factory in [[Sneerwell]] but I didn’t understand what was going on. So I took a portal back to Seglock. Echamus was going crazy again and was destroying the town. Other adventurers were saving people, but no one was going for Echamus. I used a ballista to ground him, then went over and knocked him out (crit!). The Lunarians were astounded, and we drug the unconscious Echamus over to the Moonwell where he got better. Then a lot of shadows came and killed a lot of people. I helped heal my party and take the shadows down, but it wasn’t pretty. Then I went to the Moonwell to keep it safe. It helps heal corruption and is important.		1/21 (megagame): I went to the Pendergras factory in [[Sneerwell]] but I didn’t understand what was going on. So I took a portal back to Seglock.

	2/13: Some of the once-comatose kids have been disappearing at night. Some were cleansed of corruption by the Moonwell, but one didn’t come back. We talked to the family, who I had met before (downtime). The bounty hunter they hired wasn’t very good, but did figure out where the kid had gone. We went to the swamp and fought zombies that belch leaches again. There were a lot of weird corrupted animal dudes that were ruled by [[Towie]] (a big bad guy, I’m told). There was also a young black dragon that had been captured. Towie wants him for his purposes. But we let it go and it told us where to get nice things.		2/13: Some of the once-comatose kids have been disappearing at night.

	2/28: Towie found us while traveling and it wasn’t pretty. Ona got mind-addled and I bit her to try to get her to wake up. We ran away. We found a river and heard a voice that said it was Bleucorundum. I followed the voice! She led us to her lair, where we healed up. There were interesting images of war and battle on the walls. I would like to study them more. I couldn’t see her, but we had a nice chat. I asked her what it meant to be a harbinger, and she said it was a from long ago. Without the court, it has no meaning. BlueC seems good. I would like to help her.		2/28: Towie found us while traveling and it wasn’t pretty. Ona got mind-addled and I bit her to try to get her to wake up. We ran away.
