you wake up in the "bards Beard" tavern after a good rest. your then called the mayor's office, he asks you and your party if they wish to find the 5 soul gems, they are normally in the Skylands but they have gone missing! the mayor assumes that Redmoon is the one and only enemy of the Soulgem saviors, they have all retired. the mayor asks you to be the new soulgem saviors, to find and replace the soulgems into their Skyland homes!
