Legacy of the North & the Ten Towns
Freezing wind sweeps across the tundra, ceaselessly battering anything that dares to grow or breath in its domain. Even in summer, when the days interminably long, the sun blazing low in the midnight sky brings no respite from the chill. Without fail, the wind finds it's way through every crevice opening in the warmest furs, tent flap and every roof of the strongest homes.
The people of Ten Towns have long stood against the perils of the North. For most of these folks, the events that shook the region a hundred years ago are now distant memories. But what was defeated was not destroyed. Now, as evil forces converge on Ten Towns, the people of the North face their greatest trial yet. Fortunately they won't have to face it alone and the end of an Era of upheaval is nigh!
