The party wakes up from a deep sleep to find themselves marked with strange blue tattoos. These are no ordinary tattoos, as the azure ink shimmers with a deep magic. Five distinct symbols, aligned on the sword arm of each character. The group has no recollection of how they got there, but feels a deep sense that these marks serve an insidious purpose. Who put them there and why? How can they be removed? These answers await as the group embarks on the adventure Return of the Azure Bonds.
