Once Upon a Time in the Wastes

You are Praxians; Bison Riders from the Burning Rope Clan. It is Sea Season in 1626 and your clan is slowly making the long trek back to Prax from deep in the Wastes. You are currently camped at Bison Khan and Rainman Grasslands.

A patrol recently sent north into the Rhinoceros Rocklands has gone missing. Rumours abound as to what has befallen them. Did they pick an argument with a group of belligerent Rhino Riders? Perhaps they ran into a fearsome monster from Chaos Box with fatal consequences? Have they been ambushed by the Bad River Llama clan, traditional enemies of the Burning Rope clan? Or perhaps they have been turned into herdmen by the White Stripes Morokanth clan said to be camped at the oasis of Hoofcrack? Or is it something unexpected and entirely worse? In any case, you and your fellow adventurers are sent by the clan elders to locate and bring back the missing warriors.
