MINES OF RONION, MANDALORE
Finish What was Started
The Force had been systemically purged from Mandalorian society time and time again. It has been mistrusted at best and vilified at worst. And the galaxy’s most prominent practitioners only gave proof that it should be eradicated.
No longer.
Mand’alor the Iron set a new decree: the galaxy’s ultimate weapon would be denied to the Mandalorians no more. At his direction, the Iron Wolves took form, the Mandalorian answer to the fervently zealous Jedi and the barbarous Sith. Less hierarchical than either major religion, the Iron Wolves are siblings-in-arms and the first defense against Force threats.
With Mandalore’s surface restored to its Clone Wars-era state, all that remains is to purge the last remnants of the Sith Occupation. An order had been given long ago: the Mines of Ronion must be cleansed. But the enemies of Mandalore intervened, drawing the Great Heathen Army far from home to put an end to the harassment. And so the corruption of the Sith lingered on, festering beneath the surface.
Until now.
Messages from Ronion have indicated the situation can no longer be ignored. Locals have reported tremors being felt on the surface. Sithspawn attack the village by night and harass would-be travelers by day. Mand’alor the Iron has dispatched the Iron Wolves to rid themselves of the Sith influence once and for all.
The entrance to the mine lays bare and open to the surface, the heavy doors that once kept the Darkness sealed away torn from their hinges. The smells of rot and death hang heavy in the dank air. It is eerily silent but further in, faint rumblings and growls vibrate the air.
The Dark side is palpable, a pressure in the sinuses, a weight on the lungs. With every step past the threshold, it grows. The unprepared will soon find themselves tested as it seeks out weakness and vulnerabilities. Even those that have braced for it will find the Dark side’s influence gains strength the deeper they go.
And every so often, a tremor runs through the earth.
Let the hunt begin.
TEAM SOLUS
LEVEL CRESH
Reports have come in of phantom creatures haunting the western tunnels of Level Cresh. Tracks left behind and recorded by survivors indicate a pack of nexu or a close relative. Hunt down and exterminate each one, but exercise caution. The few survivors of these phantom attacks describe swift large animals with plenty of teeth. Numbers unknown.
TEAM T'AD
LEVEL DORN
Other reports from Ronion describe an additional problem: bipedal wolf creatures have made their den in the northeast portion of Level Dorn’s tunnels. These beasts harrass the local villages and roads at night, killing the livestock and often breaking into homes when livestock cannot be found. Extra caution is advised: territorial markings made by the creatures have been found to contain an unidentified crystalline substance.
TEAMS SOLUS AND T'AD
LEVEL ESK
A third problem remains once Levels Cresh and Dorn are cleared out. Locals report seismic activity in spite of no faults in the area. Geologic scans of the mine show fractures and crevices opening up in the ceiling of a large natural cavern in Level Esk. Rejoin with the entire task force, investigate the source of the tremors, and exterminate it.
