Root: Talon Hill Quickstart

War has returned to the Woodland.

In this quickstart, political turmoil and a conflict of succession threatens the fate and stability of the clearing of Talon Hill (and possibly all of the Eyrie!). In the midst of the Woodland War, the clearing is locked into conflict as three contenders of the Kingfisher family fight for their claim to the ashwood throne of Talon Hill. As vagabonds, you must navigate these dangerous and complicated state of affairs. You choose whom you will serve, or assist, if anyone… and you may tip the balance of the war in this key location!
