Plot:Dun Barethsol:Synopsis

The main character of Adonthell v0.4: Dun Barethsol is Marcella. She is the daughter of a Green Sister who was killed during the Erinsford riots. Her dream to learn more about the secrets of Alchemy seems to come true when she receives an anonymous letter promising to teach her what her foster father, Padrig, would never dare.

The author of the letter is Lord Albrecht of Wyvernesse, who witnessed the bloodshed of the riot and has been searching for ways to prevent such events since then. In the course of his research into Alchemy, he has become more and more corrupt. He has now forgotten his once noble goal. To increase his power, he seeks to gain control over a baby dragon hatched from an old and rare dragon egg, that he has stolen from the Abbey of Shining Mist.

The ritual that would allow Albrecht complete control over the dragon requires the blood of a witch, but those have become rare since the riots and well guarded by the Forestkeepers and their own Green Knights and Rods of Chaos. A girl like Marcella, without knowledge of her own power and in search for more than her life has to offer seems an easy prey for him: lured easily into the wilderness with false promises and disposed of easily when her usefulness ends, all with little personal risk.

Albrecht's simple plan starts to fall apart when his messenger, sent to meet Marcella at Waste’s Edge, is killed by the very bandits, under Alek Endhelm's lead, that are intended to divert the Forestkeepers attention from his own doings at the old Elvish ruins of Dun Barethsol.

Stranded in Waste’s Edge, with uncertain past and future, Marcella must find her destiny, be it good or evil, and prevent Albrecht from bringing an untimely end to her life and doom to the people of Wyvernesse.
