Given in: 2026-08-27 — Aras needs a message delivered to the Leonin: get them to agree to a summit (location of their choosing) toward establishing an embassy. Past summits had the location or envoys attacked. Meletis historically enslaved the Leonin under a previous government.
2026-09-03 — Fought a Minotaur checkpoint on the road (one escaped to report). Reached Tethmos during the Speaker’s festival. Brimaz welcomed the party; Nireon briefed them. Calestron is the main opponent to opening borders; trade with Meletis needs a vote of the tribal matriarchs.
2026-09-07 — Helped light the Brazen torch (it flared unexpectedly — likely an isolationist trap) and calmed an escaped antelope. Calestron invited the party to the Rite of the First Hunt; began the first trial at a pyramid with an altar on top.
2026-10-01: Second trial of the Rite of the First Hunt — reached the top of the pyramid.
2026-10-15: Third trial (chasing the stag); Calestron congratulated the party on completing the First Hunt. Minotaurs poised to attack the Leonin youth.
