The Tale

Since time immemorial, the world has been protected by a benevolent Light. This Light must be renewed each generation or it will fail.

On the summit of Mount Skala, where it was last renewed, a darkness has settled that will not lift.

The cities higher on the Path have gone silent, and no word has come down the road in months.

The dark has reached Somariel, at the foot of the mountain. Most of the townsfolk have left, the storms do not end, and the shop owners brave enough to remain lock their doors at nightfall. Brave heroes have come before, to rid the town of this evil, yet none have returned. It is time to gather your companions, steel your courage, and face the gathering dark.
