The Wanderer's Tale

It has been five hundred years since the Peladanes stormed the distant stronghold of Vaagenfjord. There, the dreaded Rawgr Drauglir and his supernatural minions had held sway over the mortal world in a long, terrifying reign.
And now the peace is broken. Rumors abound, ill omens have been seen, and a priest of the One God has had a vision. The Rawgr - hideous, powerful creatures of which there were but few - have reappeared and, from their far northern outpost, threaten to wreak vengeance on the descendants of the Peladanes, who sacked their fortress centuries before. Something must be done. Nibulus Wintus, the most celebrated Peladane warrior, knows it is up to him to act. So he recruits a force of men ... but most of the volunteers quail in the face of unknown dangers, leaving him with but seven men, a motley crew of dubious qualification.
