The Dusmen are invading, and nothing will stop Provine Sael from leading an investigation into the many questions about the northerner’s late start, and so Grog and Burk must march north as well.
With the onset of the war, both sides have stripped the border of troops, and it may well be safe for the small band to slip into enemy territory and poke into odd corners in search of the truth. The north is a little-known land, home to rumors about rivers of unmelting ice, dragons, dead cities from the dawn of time, and countless other stories which may be legend, myth, fact, or a combination of all three.Grog and Burk are free, and in the short weeks since their return to civilization, the brutes (half-Human, half-Ukar) have had to face many decisions, something neither Grog nor Burk enjoys. But on their own or with the group, they uphold the honor of the Ebon Blades, a barracks of the old school, secure in the knowledge that Master Horne expects them to do their very best. Views: 232
