The Dead of Winter

In the Land of Ranangard, the Riddle of the Raven--the primal spirits embodying the sanctity of Death--have gone silent.   Meanwhile, Hredd--an ancient and long-forgotten goddess of Winter and Death--has reemerged upon the world. Her church has spread in the Land, and her acolytes are viewed as saviors by most. But a few suspect a more sinister agenda behind her and the disappearance of the Riddle.   As this drama unfolds, a malevolent curse manifested on the Land, turning the recently deceased into the undead. And a mysterious cult of demon-worshiping warlocks are the ones responsible.   Is the Church of Hredd responsible for the silencing of the Riddle of the Raven? Is the Cult of the Blood Moon colluding with the ancient goddess or are they bitter enemies?   In the midst of it all, a group of adventurers is called upon to defend the sanctity of death itself. They are known as the Raven Swords.
