Following a lead that pointed out the disappearance of storm sorcery professor Lysander Voss from the Mages College, the league has been tracking down the broken pieces of the Lantern of the Borrowed Storm. Cutting across some farmland the party... bumped into... some of the local farmers while chasing down some of the gang members that originally tried making off with the lantern. A group of mounted guards rode back to the party and beckoned that it would be beneficial to share information on this group the stout woman leader called "The Tempest."
