It has been roughly three long years since the day the city first learned that the Skull of Oghren was smashed. A skull used to create afflicted as one the most severe punishment in the city, a source of historic blight on the world at large, and the destruction has not gone unnoticed.
There is a new storm headed towards the city. Sköll, a fox hunter by trade, is seeking truth of the matter. An undying warrior renowned for his skill and monstrous might. A man as much a hero and a saviour as he is a villain and enemy to the city.
As for the young set of the hands that saw the effort to see the Skull of Oghren smashed, their lives have gone on largely unnoticed by the many powers of the city. But the passage of time will see it changed as the magisters of city once again hold the annual test to pick the most promising children to join their ranks.
There is indeed a storm brewing and it is hard to imagine that anyone would get through it truly unscathed.
