Synopsis:
Season 1 is set in the world of Manumi, in the city of Branshire. It is the story of 5 adventurers (and a Bear) in their quest to save the Tree of Otonia. These adventurers are: Lauric Darkbolt, Sir Vance Oftawol, Jemaliel Kartdth, Kellen Dimble, Guy Clark, and Charlie the Bear. They were sent by High Cleric Glaron to the Tree of Otonia because of a vision he had received. Glaron believed that this vision was sent to him by Pelor (the sun god). However, it was sent by Dim’Varga, the Shapeless, One of the 10 Draconkeli. She wanted to trick Glaron so that she could gain access to the tree and the stone inside.

Glaron explained the vision to Lauric and Sir Vance. And in the vision was a deep dark forest unlike any another, and in the forest was a grove. In the center of the Grove was the tree of Otonia, golden bark, and leaves that gleamed like the sun, even though there was no sun. The thicket had grown so big that it made a dome over the grove and the tree. Suddenly, music rang up into Glaron's ears, and as the song continued the tree began to shift and move. And in the center of the tree was a small black stone, connected to the tree by tendrils. Then a great wind blew and all the light was extracted, and the tree had no color. The tree had lost its leaves, and the stone was gone. Then a booming voice rang out saying "Find the elf the Darkbolt and bring him to me." After their meeting Vance and Lauric went to the Barley Barrel, to get food and supplies for the road. Where they meet Laylea (a season 2 character) she serves them and they prepare for the quest.

The next morning Vance and Lauric both went to the House Oftawol so that Vance could have a retainer on hand. He chose his best friend Guy Clark. The three continued out into the Elder Mountains. They continued to converse with each other, Lauric noticed something in an alcove, not sure what it was he casts magic missile to alert it. Suddenly, lizard bats come flying up out of the alcove and attack them.
