Shadows Linger

As a shadow grows in the Bitter North, the allies of old have failed to rally a unified front. Through treachery and deceit, the ancient bloodlines of the Horned Society have regained control of the area known as the Shield Lands. In the east, a beacon of hope rises, but few believe it will be enough to tip the balance. In the South, a freed Orc gladiator named Turrosh Mak has united the Pomarj; ruling from his thick-walled fortress at Stoneheim, he threatens critical trade routes while turning the southern Wild Coast into a haven for brigands, pirates, and slavers from across the Gearnat Straight.
