The Longshots

The Longshots are a adventuring group that was chartered in the Astonian city of Lichenhall in 241AT. It consists of five members - Ani Ulaul, Ofres Glack, Otrebri 'Otti' Asothel, Valentinius Oratus, and the wolf Volpinos. Despite its foundation in the northern realm of Astonia, it has roots in the Avum Empire. Asothel and Ulaul hail from the Imperial client Kingdom of Eldwith, while Glack and Oratus come from the Empire itself.

Two of the members - Ulaul and Asothel - clashed with the Shardbearers near Whinta during the Miniogue affair, before disengadging.

The two groups would meet again in the small village of Ceadin within the Wickenmoot, this time on better terms. Asothel and Marcus Cassius Cato engadged in a shooting competition, before retiring together, and the Longshots warned the Shardbearers that Thargrim's bounty was well known, though subsidiary to the local concerns over another dwarf. It would be against this dwarf that the two groups would unite, succeding in preventing a blood ritual.

Afterwards, the two groups seperated, the Longshots departing to the west of Zelira, the Shardbearers heading North. Marcus Cassius Cato urged Valentinius to contact the Avum Empire with regards to the fragments possested by the Longshots, and the two groups exchanged sending stones.
