Strossborg seeks to hire Acryn adventurers to help them with a mad wizard problem. Payment of 50R a head, plus salvage rights
The party travel to Strossbourg, having been hired to investigate an artefact which appears to be corrupting and ensnaring those who are magically attuned (i.e. mages and those with a lot of mana on them, which is extremely inconvenient for Strossbourg, as that describes most of their adventurers).
The party trace the source of the corruption to an artefact of a long dead warlord, Gustav the Terrible, with the artefact being designed to act as a last-ditch defence should his kingdom fall (or at least a massive inconvenience to those who had overrun it). Recent excavations in the warlord's volcano lair had activated the artefact, causing the troubles. The party successfully rescue the Strossbourgers who have been caught in the artefact's grip, but the Heart itself is stolen by Frederick Dines. Following a dramatic escape from the exploding volcano, the party return to Strossbourg.
Seeking to remove his proto-god nature, as he has heard that it is in fact hurting those who follow him, Mark Carter puts himself forward to undergo the ritual to create a Perfected Being, severing him from the divine energies. However, something goes wrong, and Carter screams out that the procedure is hurting everyone, and must be stopped. When it becomes clear that the procedure cannot be stopped (either due to the unwillingness of the Strossbourg mages, or simply because it had progressed to far), Carter sacrifices himself to stop whatever terrible things he has felt occur. This very nearly causes a major incident with Strossbourg, but with some hasty diplomacy the worst is averted. Mutterings among the Strossbourg people suggest that this simply proves their convictions that gods, godlings and their followers cannot be trusted. Carter's wife, the flux being known as the Ice Queen, rages, coating the north in a colossal blizzard.
