After getting a summons from Sheila Heidmarch, you find yourselves meeting with Venture-Captain Sheila Heidmarch in one of several libraries in the Magnimar Lodge.
Her briefing is short and to the point. "Thousands of years ago, a group of insanely powerful wizard kings ruled Thassilon, a vast world-spanning empire. Many of the great monuments in Varisia, including the Irespan here in Magnimar and the Storval Stairs, are relics of this forgotten age. The wizard kings wielded powerful rune magic and declared themselves rune lords. The Thassilon empire was destroyed by some immense catalysmic event, but the runelords were prepared and entombed themselves in hidden, well-protected chambers and put themselves into deep, magical sleep."
"Until recently, we thought the secret of the location of these chambers and methods of waking the runelords of Thassilon was forgotten. However, recent findings revealed that a powerful group of Lissalan cultists knows where Runelord Krune is sleeping and are working to waken him from his long sleep. Awakening a powerful and ambitious wizard like Krune would have a massive impact on Golarion the Decemvirate would prefer to avoid."
Sheila nods to the armored woman next to her. "Ollysta has been actively pursuing the activities of the cult. She just got a lead about a powerful branch of Lissalan cultists operating in Kaer Maga. We need you to track down the cultists and find out what they are planning and disrupt their operation in Kaer Maga."
