Heroes of Daerraphere

The Heroes of Daerraphere (sometimes referred to as the The Old Adventurers) were a small group of adventurers from Daerraphere, known for their help in discovering plasma energy. Seen as celebrities by the people of Daerraphere, they disbanded in 30 AGE to pursue their own lives.

History
The Heroes of Daerraphere formed somewhere in Cerenvia, Daerraphere around the winter of 20 BGE. Taking on local adventures for roughly a year, they eventually gained a reputation among the nations of Cerenvia. During the spring of 18 BGE, the group's paladin, Wrenn, heard rumors of an ancient treasure hidden within the twisting halls of a mind flayer colony beneath the Blue Marsh. Though it took them 3 days, the group invaded and destroyed the illithids' lair and discovered a series of cramped chambers on the bottom level of the colony.

Inside, they found several machines and documents written partially in the common tongue of the land. Unsure of what it was they had found, the adventurers spent the following days hauling the objects to the surface, where a group of elven scholars began studying them.

After finding no conclusive evidence of what the machines did, or what the documents meant, the scholars asked for the help of the ulkers, who determined that the machines were not at all arcane by nature. Instead, they were fueled by something else that was previously unknown to Daerraphere; plasma.

After several years of research, the people of Daerraphere had a major jump in technology due to the research conducted. Electricity became a common sight and plasma was being used almost as much as magic had been. Eventually, the adventurers' findings had allowed for Daerraphere to look to the space age, and by 4 BGE, the world had created the DSS Trinity, the world's first spaceship. This event launched the people of Daerraphere into the Golden Age.

In 30 AGE, the members of the group decided that their time had passed and that they could hang up their armor in exchange for a commoner's life. However, some of the members, such as Yevelda and Kal'van, continued to support the advance in technology, this marked the disbanding of the Heroes of Daerraphere.

As of 1400 AGE, the tomb that the heroes had made their discovery in was officially known as the Crypt of the Nameless Paladin.
