Blackjack Heritage Campaign Epilogue
In the years after their victory, the Crew of the Blackjack has spread across the Sovranty of Lozar, the Kirinal Concordance Zone, and as far as the Silversong and Forged Moons. The Blackjack Trading Troupe's deeds, alliances, and literally heaven-shaking feats continue to shape the world of Erathia as they find new paths in life.
Spark's Lunar Legacy
Retiring to Jennook, the goblin city on the Silversong Moon, Of the Forge the Spark shed his belt of giant strength and returns to normal goblin size. He develops psi-tech, drawing on the latent psionic energy of blue goblins, and collaborates with his partner Oasis to explore bio-technology. Though their inital psi-graft experiments fail, Oasis redirects the research to cultivate psi-grass, a psionic-enhancing weed with mild paranoi-inducing effects.
Riding the success of psi-grass, Spark rekindles his romance with Oasis. He asks her to take him back, and she mocks him for taking so long to realize such an obvious thing. The two plan a wedding on the moon during the next Lunapalooza.
Elenwe's Vow of Peace
Elenwe Heskiloth tracks down Marine the Wolf Widow and gifts her legendary weapon, Bedlam, to her werewolf rival. She devotes herself fully to the pursuit of peace. Her temple, the Pole of Ashaya, in the Zone grows in popularity as an axis of pleasure where many lap dances are given. El remains the most beloved pole dancer in Erathia.
The Cult of Ashaya grows more kindly under Elenwe's influence. However they are still respected in the Zone as El's martial prowess and reputation for smiting bad customers is still remembered.
Meanwhile, her son Link Heskiloth stars in the hit Hedron Network series, "How I Forgave My Mother."
Lance the Rancher
Lance leaves the world of Erathia behind to start a Wagyu beef farm on the Forged Moon. He becomes fond of awakening plants and animals, giving them sentience. He does this with one of his cows, Jizztopher, named after the noble Dwarven House Coylen. They bond over hearing the sentient grass scream during grazing time. Lance resolves to never butcher his friend the cow.
Lance continues to collaborate musically with Spark, sending tracks to the popular Spunkify Hedron Network, now run by DJ Spunk and SumuLanceCrumb.
His home town of Razakstad looks forward to the ascension of Margravine Paz von Razak, their growing ties to House Ionite, and the coming birth of a new heir to House Razak.
The Ascension of Nia
Niamhi Silversång becomes a living legend after footage of her ordering Malfador's launch into the sun goes viral. With Malfador confirmed gone by the other gods, Nia's burgeoning power draws the attention of her patron Moon Breeze. The ki-rin concedes that her former warlock has surpassed her. Nia has become a demi-god and the Divine Gate will not allow her to return to Erathia.
Moon Breeze declares that Nia is an Archfey and assists her former warlock in forging a pact with Nia's assistant Hivali, making the shadar-kai Nia's first warlock. Nia steps back from leading the Blackjack Trading Troupe, focusing on her family as Baron of House Silversång and as the Royal Consort of the Kingdom of Amredhel.
She establishes the Tempest Tide Bardic College, nurturing the talents of the next generation of performers. Along with her royal duties, Nia raises her growing family in Faerie. This includes eight children with Cabron Elf-King, six children of House Silversang and two of Amredhel. Her sister Sigrid Silversång continues to be a pain in the ass, but they get along fo the sake of the family. Nels stays close to his sister and plays in every Lunapalooza.
And the Rest
Thunderfox takes command of his own ship, retains Xeno's Spigot, and continues to explore the wonders of the multiverse.
Hivali, Wicked Mind, Cumvel Coyilen, and Lt. Aymer Ulalen step up to run the Blackjack Trading Troupe after the retirement of their founders. They proudly maintain its legacy.
Of the Vengeance the Rebellion leads most of his tribe to Jennook, establishing a strong goblin presence on the Silversong Moon.

Coyote Rose and Lance's daughters run the Red Claw brewery and the Salamander Bathhouse for the Troupe.
The Order of Light appears to be swayed by Malfador's collusion with the Far Realm, and appears to distance themselves from the Infernal Forces.
Tiamat's deal with Malfador and the Far Realm is revealed by Harmony Tun-Razak. Her esteem in the Order rises and she is next in line to take over after her father steps down.
General Aginnad, now a Duke of Hell, continues his friendship with Lance and the Crew. He works with Titivilus , the Ambassador of Hell to propose that Hell officially becomes one of the Days of the Week. (Or at least take the place of Heaven every now and then.)
Rampol the God of the Sun deals with the new houseguest in his realm.
Somewhere Father Ozniah Zug continues to make trouble for adventurers. Urim Goldmaster is still in jail. And finally, Tazi Asadi, the Unbeliever nods slowly and approvingly at the end of the story.
