So in my world a few years ago there was a war that started out of nowhere, lasting about two years, which ended just as suddenly as it began. Its all very mysterious and people everywhere have no idea why it happened nor why it ended, each side thinking they won.

​

What my players know is that the king of the attacking country is trying to acquire a weapon which will allow them to create and control hundreds of lycanthropes so that he can attack again

What they don't know is that the war was a sudden distraction so that an elite squad of soldiers could go beyond enemy lines, steal some magic macguffins required to assist in looking for said magical weapon. Now hes trying to make the army to go back and do it a second time to use the macguffin to empower a machine made by a powerful wizard to change a fixed point in history back in time

Currently the party is stopped in an orcish town in a general direction towards the macguffins and i have no idea how to give them the leads they need to investigate this further without just blurting out the whole concept. Ples halp
