THE STORY

Word has spread throughout Skyrealm that the Pale Baron of Aileron will once again host a Great Hunt, and to the winner will go all spoils. Will you and your intrepid crew risk your ship and lives for fame, glory, and Æmber?

You and your fellow Archons are about to embark on a dangerous adventure in the skies high above the Crucible. Taking command of a small skyship, you must hunt the legendary and elusive Skybeasts. Only the boldest, and perhaps reckless, skyship crews can hope to earn the greatest prize of the annual Great Hunt: the patronage of the Pale Baron.

THE ADVENTURE

In The Great Hunt, players work together to use their skyship, Nantucket, to hunt powerful Skybeasts in the Crucible’s upper stratosphere (known as the Skyrealm). Each time the players defeat a Skybeast with Nantucket, they score a certain amount of renown.

The players must also deal with aggressive Stormkin pirates who will persistently attempt to steal their Æmber. Players do not directly win by forging keys, but each time they forge a key, they earn an upgrade of their choice for Nantucket, which will make it easier for them to earn renown.

There are two groups of enemies in this adventure: One enemy group is the Skybeasts, which the players must successfully hunt using their skyship, Nantucket.

The second enemy group is the Stormkin pirates, who will harass the players throughout the adventure and attempt to steal their Æmber. The Skybeasts and Stormkin are also considered to be enemies of each other. The Stormkin will normally try to avoid the Skybeasts, but the Skybeasts will attack anything that lingers in their territory, including the Stormkin.

Will you win over the Halyards or will the Stormkin pirates foil your renown?
