Shaundakul's Garden - Guardian of the Road
By Stan!
The worshipers of Shaundakul believe that every road, street, and path is a precious gift from their god. The Rider of the Winds, it is said, watches over those who travel for any reason and gives his blessings to every journey. What's more, his faithful often wander the world offering aid and comfort to any travelers they meet.
However, the devoted do not aid one excursion -- the quest to find Journey's End, which some also know as Shaundakul's secret garden that has been hidden from the eyes of the world for centuries. In fact, an entire sect of Shaundakul worshipers have made it their sworn duty to prevent anyone from ever reaching Journey's End. This sect calls itself the Guardians of the Road.
Bringing the Parts Together
Perhaps while the PCs are aiding the pilgrims with the bandit mentioned earlier, they stumble across both of the items described in the first part of this series. When they do so, they may gain the attention of a Guardian of the Road, who seeks to prevent the PCs from making the journey to Journey's End.
