Initial Formation

In the spring of 2162, many notes were dispatched to several would-be adventurers, requesting they come to Visimontium later in the year. Several made the journey to the north, these were the initial members of a group that would go by the name Solar Brigade. At the Tispy Wizard they were met by Jan Haskins of the Sentinels. Jan escorted these freelancers to the Council chambers where Aerill Ailpera and Damar Ogden explained about a Wild Magic Zone that had become uncovered some years back and how they wanted the assemblage to gather information about the area.

Investigation of Eastern Wastes

Upon accepting the task from the Council, the group proceded to train together and do some research on the area and Wild Magic Zones. With this knowledge they made their way to the Wastes to perform some tests. At first there was some confusion among the party and the expedition was nearly lost when an enormous spider and her offspring captured some of the members. Fortunately, the remaining members were able to lure the remaining spiders out of the cavern and use magic to destroy them.

Drangonari Portal

Eventually, after enough testing, with assistance from Kieron of the Ivory Order, a portal was discovered in the wastes. Quickly and without warning, several Drangonari psions descended upon and attacked the brigade while they examined the gate. After several on both sides were killed the Drangonari gave instructions to leave the vicinity or die. A hasty retreat was made back to Visimontium, where Kieron mentioned of a similar portal near Mikona.

Ganoomkin Portal Contraption

So eventually the investigators made the long journey to the land of M'Chek. The Hills of Timult, where many ganoom live and work, were the next locale to explore. For this incursion some more assistance was rallied, these included:

There were many ganoomkin Automatons in those halls that were protecting those workshops. The large expedition finally made it to the main workroom, after using many exploding hobbyhorses to disable those guardians. Another portal was there, out of which several extra-planar creatures came. While the warriors kept the outsiders at bay, the mages focused on learning of the device that was holding the rift open. After some work, a replica of the machine was fashioned and the team headed out with it.
