Overview: In Valara, travelers from distinct backgrounds—the human trader, the elf scout, the dwarf artificer, the tiefling scholar, and the halfling bard—are drawn together by prophetic dreams and a spreading omen. A fanatical cult, the Nightbinders, plans to reopen the ancient Convergence Gate, merging the Material Plane with a void beyond. If they succeed, borders crumble, chaos spreads, and free will falters. The adventure asks players to set aside differences and fight as a true fellowship.

Setting and regions: Crestfall (port city), Mooncall Forest, Ironhold Mountains, Saltspire Dominion, Skyreach Isles, and the Glass Peaks guard the Relics and test each holder's virtue. Each location presents a blend of faction politics, perilous terrain, and moral choices.

Main Quest: Recover five Relics of Convergence—Courage (Dragon's Gate Key), Wisdom (Archivist's Eye), Compassion (Heart of the Harbor), Justice (Scale of Balik), and Unity (Cloak of Unison)—and place them at the Nexus Spire to seal the Gate during the Convergence Festival.

Triggers and central events: A tremor shakes Crestfall as a crimson comet darkens the sky. The heroes must locate relics before the ritual completes. Trials for each relic echo the virtue of its bearer; a captured Nightbinder offers a grim bargain that could fracture the party or reveal the cult's hidden ally.

Hooks and side quests: Dreams of a starfall, a masked envoy who only certain backgrounds can hear, and a brokered alliance with a pirate lord who guards passage to the Glass Peaks all pull players toward danger and discovery. Parallel quests include rescuing a Saltspire courier for a critical map, negotiating with rival factions, and rooting out a traitor within the Nightbinders.

Rewards: The five Relics grant unique powers, a Bonded Unity that unlocks party-wide synergy, factional titles, and safehouses across Valara, plus the Convergence Mark that blesses future teamwork checks.
