| Winter is fast approaching and the Dragon Queen war has ground to a standstill as forces on both sides hunker down to shelter from the annual snows. While the Red Empire licks its wounds and prepares to repel yet another onslaught come springtime, there are those who work tirelessly to seek any edge that might aid in the coming battles. With her younger siblings making diplomatic inroads at the court of the Red Emperor, Alythara, princess of the wood elf realm, seeks to liberate her homeland from the evil enchantment that holds it in thrall - a nightmare perpetrated by her own father, the king, in his folly. Reclaiming the throne of wood elf power could put an end to the elven diaspora, and free valuable resources for the war effort, especially with the elven artifacts said to be hoarded in the palace of the elf king. With a small band of adventurers at her back, Alytharra has braved the great forest Colven, and now stands on the very border of her father's nightmare: a twisted wood that was once the realm of the wood elves. | |
