Remnants of Hope
With the resurgence of the Gaunt infection, the Remnant are desperate for anything that will help them repel the invasion. Every able-bodied individual is put to work defending the walls of their cities, caring their inhabitants, or venturing forth to delve into the ruins of the long-fallen empire in search of anything that can offer a hope of victory.
The last true remnant of hope lies in the search of the Lost City of Pallium believed to reside within the Lost Mountains to the north of Summit. This region is know for attracting many adventurers, most of which never return. The frigid climate, crumbling mountains, and endless caves and chasms hidden beneath it have claimed countless lives. However, with no other option but to face annihilation in the maw of the Gaunt, the Remnant is willing to sacrifice its finest to the mountains if it means the Remnant may survive.
After sending several groups into the Lost Mountains in search of Pallium, news of a reliable and relatively safe way into the Lost Mountains reached the Remnant. However, without knowing exactly where this entrance lies, the risk of taking more skilled adventures and fighters away from their defenses to seek out this new entrance outweighs the rewards. All this news means for the Remnant is that they need to find Pallium before anyone else or else all their efforts will have been in vain.
