Setting

The lands of Khadin. Most of the "known world" is located between the northern Olora Moutnains and the southern Taren Mountains. This region is called Ilren and is home to the nations of Sedas, Gir, Hana and Kanith and the swamps of Kuth. North of the Olora Mountains is nothing but tundra and ice, dominated by savage gnolls and giants. South of the Taren Mountains is largely unexplored. To the east is the Green Vale, home of the halflings and far to the south was the once great port city of Al-Lorin, now an evil ruin haunted by the dead.

Timeline

• The tale begins in the remote town of Ree, located just beyond the southern gates of the once great dwarven city of Nir within the Taren Mountains. The annual caravan from the north has just arrived in Ree, heralding the start of the Winter Festival. This is traditionally a time of joy & celebration for all of Ree and the many people from beyond the town who come to trade with the caravan and enjoy the festival. But this year is different, a problem has arisen in the depths below the city that will require a skilled team of adventurers to solve.

• 14th Day of Cedik - The annual caravan from the north arrived in Ree and the Winter Festival officially began following the Mayor's speech of welcome. Old and new acquaintances and friends are united and an audience at the Mayor's office is requested. The newly associated party is informed of a problem with the waterworks within Nir that will soon cause dire consequences within the town. They are tasked with a mission to enter the town Archives, sealed off a decade ago due to a vermin infestation, and retrieve a map of Nir in order to locate and plot a route to the ancient waterworks within.
• 15th Day of Cedik - Early in the morning, the party gathers at the entrance to the Archives, where Apprentice Thane seals them in until their mission is completed.
