Our tale begins in one dark night... ...with carnage... The royal family slaughtered, a young man steps in to fill the void, setting a blood-soaked crown on his head. King Osric turns the city in new directions while rumors of the Night of Blood are killed with the same ruthless efficiency that broke the royal line, and those who dare to speak out are soon meat for the crows... Sixteen years later... King Osric holds the kingdom, controlling it through force and fear; his Guilds hold commerce in a stranglehold. Fiends prowl outside the walls, and, some whisper, within them as well. Evil rules the streets, and few are those, brave, foolish, or desperate, who dare to walk alone after dark. The gods remember... And the ways of peace and freedom forgotten by some live on in the hearts and minds of heroes determined to see Glynrhos restored to her former glory. Fighting both directly and in more subtle ways, they are not without hope or resources. But they cannot win this war alone. They need allies .... ...They need you. ^[1]
