The Sundering of Alari

Her journey began with the War in the Marsh. Alari F'latri's homeland, a proud nation of Elves, had waged conquest from the Great Forest Pumiknod, clasping the world in their slender, deadly hands.

Unfortunately, they underestimated their opponents. As their armies swept westward, into the mountains and the hills beyond, a small collective of the tribes of Man swept forth from the southern swamp, Atekisa. Surprised, the Elves were **** into retreat, and from there, the bloody conquest gave way to bloodier retribution.

Now small and inconsequential, the battered Elves of Pumiknod lust for their former glories, and one such elf (only half, but don't mention it), an ambitious and uncompromising Druid Priest named Arduin has set out on a quest westwards, seeking an artifact powerful enough to restore their kingdom.

Joining him are a pair of mercenaries.

Mary Levine, Archer of Truest Aim, a human woman native to Pumiknod.

Gretel Dartel, "The Axe", a dwarf of the western mountains of Kanilwoge.

It is his last hire upon whom our story now descends. Alari F'latri, Elven Porter.

Paid a pittance to carry food and water on a treacherous journey, she will find herself getting far more than she bargained for...
