===== Lichyard Raiders=====
 
a Connaught County adventure for beginner to intermediate characters.

Half-orcs at [[campaigns:connaught:locations:Landsdowne]] raid the graves through a tunnel system, eventually discovering the city of glass or at least a foreshadowing of it.

This adventure can be begun at any location near or within [[campaigns:connaught:locations:prince_crossing:prince_crossing|Prince's Crossing]], or at/near [[campaigns:connaught:locations:Landsdowne]].

===NPCs===
scenes with memorable NPCs get the players emotionally invested.
