The war was supposed to be over. Generations ago, the armies of darkness were driven back, their fortresses broken, and their terrible masters cast down. The people of the realm have grown comfortable in the long peace that followed. Kings rule, merchants prosper, and the old stories of war and demons have become little more than tales told beside a tavern fire. But evil does not always die. In the lands beneath the shadow of Blacktooth Ridge, strange things have begun to happen. Travelers disappear along lonely roads. Villages report raids by creatures that should have been driven from these lands generations ago. Old ruins have become occupied once more, and whispers speak of dark powers gathering in forgotten places. At first, these troubles seem like the work of common bandits, goblins, gnolls, and ambitious men. They are not. As the characters grow in power, so too does the danger. You will explore forgotten ruins, delve into ancient tombs, cross untamed wilderness, uncover political conspiracies, battle monsters and warlords, and stand against forces that threaten entire kingdoms. Friends may become enemies. Enemies may become uneasy allies. And the choices the characters make may determine who survives the coming war. Because this is not a war between armies alone. It is a war for the living. And somewhere in the darkness, something that should have remained dead is waiting to rise again.
