The mighty kingdom of Varlandas stands as a pinnacle of civilisation and a beacon of hope for all those in the world of Korthos. The bustling city is the centre of trade and cultural exchange of many people within the land. However, Varlandas has become the staging ground for eldritch forces of dark intent. Dangerous entities are at work in the shadows of the city and their objectives are unknown. A chance encounter within a tavern sets the wheels of fate in motion as a group of unlikely companions find a common enemy. As fate would have it, sometimes the best counter to evil is something equally as sinister.
