The kingdoms of Telara are crumbling. Famine and pestilence stalk the lands. Revolutions spread where ever the populace is down trodden and civil wars start when ever there is a disputed succession. Among this storm of death and war there is an island of calm. The city state of Ienna. Thanks to it's neutrality and perfect positioning for trade it has prospered when others are crumbling. But nothing can last.

Recently the trade from the East that has kept the city prosperous and powerful has been dwindling. No more expensive silks, nor exotic spices or even most importantly rice surpluses are reaching Ienna. If things continue this way then there shall be hunger. Hunger will lead to disease and death. Death and diseases will in turn lead to revolution. Which will then wipe the "Door to the East" off the map. Unless...

The city council has assembled a team of talented individuals to go and find out what has happened to the Eastern states. This is the first official caravan from the western world to go and explore the far east so the council has asked all the individuals to record the events of their journey in journals so later a full report could be given upon their return.
