The Kidnapping of Prince Thrommel

The escaped Temple leaders execute their first major operation. Prince Thrommel of Furyondy, Provost of Veluna, is abducted and totally disappears. The kingdoms know it was the Temple survivors but cannot find him. Thrommel is taken back to the Temple ruins and placed in magical stasis. This is the moment that confirms to Furyondy and Veluna that the Temple is not dead. Strategic posture shifts. Otis, a Knight Bachelor of Veluna, is dispatched undercover to Nulb as a smith, beginning his long-term embed. He establishes the network of two giant owls and four sprites in the woods between Nulb and the Temple ruins.
