The Remordan Valley in the hinterlands of the Thyrrian Empire – home to misfits and malcontents, but also rugged frontier folk and friendships forged in the hardships of its remote climate. There, you can make a new start, or disappear. There, you can build a life with tenacity, honest work, and – sometimes – a good sword.

But not all are drawn to the Valley for its freedom. Dark ruins haunt its wildernesses, and darker entities languish in their shadows. Now a conspiracy of misguided fools will stir things that should have been left dead and the whole region will pay the price.

But the Valley won't take it sitting down. Legion veteran and half-hobgoblin; wizard and elven warrior-priestess; gnome politician and orphan apprentice. Their unlikely friendship will form the rallying point for the free peoples of Remordan.

And they will defend the Valley.
