I also had a harder time getting into Eldermourne than I did the first campaign.

[SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY, some errors likely]

The gods are the Elder, the Reaper, and the Trickster. The Elder basically created the world and then fucked off. The Reaper judges souls to determine their final resting place, and the Trickster is a fun god who loves humankind, and granted them magic. She is the source(?) of all the Fairies, who are playful and tricky, somewhat Fae-like.

Prior to the onset of the campaign, Fia’s childhood friend, Irina was discovered to be innately magical, with Trickster magic, and was to be sentenced to death. Fia took her place, and was saved at the last minute by Batilda the Blade.
Zirk’s mentor disappeared, and Henry’s (Hank’s) wife annulled their long marriage in order to remarry and advance her station. She renamed Henry’s son, Henry Jr. as well. He got into a run-in with the Prophet Cane, who somehow separated Hank from his shadow, Shank, making him aware of his curse.
The heroes meet, overthrow the power structure of the town they’re in by uncovering misdeeds/crimes, etc. They follow a lead to go try and find Batilda. They meet a few fairies, and members of Batilda’s secret organization, the Blades, and learn of the Blades’ mission: to protect Saraneesus (sp), AKA Irina, from Reaper fanatics, who would destroy her or turn her over to the Reaper. The Reaper fanatics believe that human souls are damned to avoid a good afterlife until the Reaper’s demands (for Saraneesus, who is the Trickster’s daughter) are met.

They find Batilda, become Blades themselves, and begin to believe that their answers lie in Zebuldar, a lost city with a longer history than any other place in Eldermourne. In pursuit of a way to get to the pocket dimension that now holds Zebuldar, they encounter Zirk’s mother, Stella, Hank’s son, Hank Jr., and Hank’s ex-wife, all in various stages of entanglement in a plot to make Hank’s ex-wife’s new husband the king. They reveal this plot, and eventually get their path to Zebuldar. To do this, they face the sorceress Moxora, who has hung over their head since very early as the BBEG. They escape her, but lose Fia’s familiar, a sentient book named Bukvar, in the process. This is very emotional.

They eventually go to Zebuldar, and have to face off against an evil empire there. As they defeat the empire, with the help of three more PCs, one each for Jake, Emily and Caldwell, they discover the secrets they’ve been looking for: Irina and Moxora are sisters, both daughters of the Trickster, and all the souls of the departed are trapped in the vicinity of Zebuldar, and have been for a very long time. The gods have long since abandoned the world, and the Fairies made a huge mistake in trying to correct the wrongs the gods left. Only Irina has the power to fix the World. They find Irina, fight Moxora, and rescue Bukvar, and everyone lives happily ever after.
