Year as King's Adventurers
Start on 1-12-1244 TGR to 1-1-1246 TGR
This was a time in the history of the Dragonslayers that they were in dire need a favor from a very powerful source. The group desired a resurrection spell from a High Priest in Gallimurfee and in exchange for that they performed a task for her. She owed the King of Gallimurfee a favor; so when the Dragonslayers took over this debt the King had them spend a year working as 'The King's Adventurers' while allowing them to continue living in Thedd
This is the journal from that time:
