Editing Brightstone Heroes (section)

===The Far Invasion===
When the adventurers who would become the [[Challengers of the Unspeakable]] arrived in Brightstone and first began adventuring, Leardon gave them a few tasks, but thought of them as just another adventuring group. This changed when the Challengers uncovered evidence that creatures from the [[Far Realm]] may be trying to open a portal to Syra, and that a group of drow was moving in on the area. Priam, having the most experience with aberrations, immediately tasked them with learning more about this potential threat and, if possible, putting a stop to it; meanwhile Leardon and Myra joined Tol to try and route the drow. However, when the Challengers' wizard, [[Tephra]], actually ''opened'' a portal to the Far Realm instead of closing it, the Brightstone Heroes truly reunited for the first time since Sinianth's demise. Tol, Gurrard, Priam, Leardon, and Balon called in favors from as many groups as they could, then traveled to [[Estorium]] to battle the aberrations directly and find a way to close the portal. Myra stayed behind to run the [[Trine Academy]].

When Myra was kidnapped by [[Theriana]] and held for ransom following the [[Battle of Silverstone]], Priam and Leardon immediately returned to the Trine Academy to start planning her rescue with the [[Challengers of the Unspeakable]]. As scrying had curiously shown two possible areas that she could be in, they split up: Leardon and Priam searched the [[Iron Crags]], while the Challengers searched the drow city of [[Phaervorul]]. It ultimately turned out that both were traps: Priam and Leardon were captured and imprisoned within the halls of the fire giant king, [[Snurre]], while the drow had been ordered to kill the Challengers on sight. In the end it was the Challengers who prevailed, found their way to the caverns beneath Snurre's halls, and rescued Myra before returning with her to the Trine Academy, unaware of Priam and Leardon's fate.

Tol and Gurrard soon returned as well to rescue Priam and Leardon; teleporting to Snurre's halls, they managed to find Leardon and "free" him by destroying his body so that he could regenerate at his phylactery. When Leardon returned to Silverstone a few days later, he discovered that Tol and Gurrard had not yet returned with Priam; enraged, he raised a small army of undead and stormed Snurre's halls to rescue his friends. He found Tol, but learned that Priam and Gurrard had been imprisoned elsewhere. The two returned to Estorium, where the other Brightstone Heroes had established a significant foothold in the ruins of [[Terastra]]. With the help of the Challengers of the Unspeakable, they defended against hordes of demons, aberrations, and even drow. After the sorceress [[Vyrellis]] defected from Theriana's service and told the Challengers that Priam and Gurrard were in the [[Pyramid of Shadows]], she negotiated with Leardon while the Challengers made a rescue attempt. Leardon was granted the western portion of Estorium to build a new nation called [[Palmheart]], while Vyrellis would be allowed to rebuild her empire within the eastern half. Vyrellis also told them they could close Tephra's portal using a number of divine artifacts; the Brightstone Heroes called in a favor from Corellon Larethian and were given his sword, [[Sahandrian]], for the task.

After the Challengers returned with Priam and Gurrard, the Brightstone Heroes joined their armies in pushing towards Tephra's portal in [[Derenath]]. There they fought a great battle against Tephra's forces while the Challengers of the Unspeakable confronted Tephra and closed the portal. Following their victory, most of the Brightstone Heroes returned to Brightstone and Silverstone. Leardon remained behind to build and rule Palmheart.
