The story of this band of adventurers begins on Kordun. The island was abandoned centuries ago, after a plague decimated the entire population. Those that survived settled on one of the smaller islands south of Kordun and founded Teldor Village.
At first Teldor Village would send back volunteers in search of new settlements and valuable resources. After a while this practice turned into a rite of passage, where every person at the age of 20 (5 for those of a shorter life-span), had to survive a full winter on Kordun.
Their story begins where the rite ends.
