The Dwarven Wedding

From D&D Wiki

The Dwarven Wedding is the story of a small gang of semi-famous characters who found themselves at a wedding between two great houses.

Background

The wedding of Ulf son of Bulf and Irena Bulkura was one that was celebrated throughout the southern parts of Turon. The Bulf and Bulkura families had been fighting against each other for land, resources, and prestige for generations. Seeing the calming of the skirmishes, and a happenstance of Ulf and Irena meeting during their education, the houses were brought together and for the celebration, small-time celebrities were hired in.

But not all was well at the wedding. Grumblings between the two rival houses about the rush of the wedding, jealousy from family members, and inklings of information about darkness from below crept into the party... and so our heroes began their journey.
