A band of valiant heroes have been sent by King Valorous III to make first contact with the mysterious continent of Kellawan.
They find a land ignorant of the terrible Horrors that stalk Barsaive, a people that has not been subjected to the savagery of the Scourge, and a culture that has been stagnant, neither advancing nor declining, for hundreds of years.
At first welcomed by the Empire that dominates the northern portion of the continent, the adventurers were shocked to discover that a statue of Verjigorm, the ultimate Horror, is given the highest honor by the Emperor himself.
When an attempt is made to steal the party's pattern items, combat ensues and our heroes quickly become hunted refugees, safe nowhere on the continent and unable to return home.
This is the story of Aliou "Arilou" Kartung the Orichalcum Elementalist, Demek Mongoson the Cavalryman Warrior, Miles Vorkosigan the Windling Warrior Wizard, Neth Elon Jaklar the Scout, Oxander Gammenon the Weaponsmith, and Pole the Troll from Throal (Air Raider and All-Around-Handyman).
Action, comedy, Lovecraftian horror, romance, greed, deforestation, courage, and "mondo" combat - this story has it all. We hope you will enjoy the tale as it unwinds in these pages and links.
