Every monumental tale has a great beginning. For the 'wayward pairing' of Maldon and Osric, their escape from the Greyplane's Fortress Sax has been successful. The arid prison cells traded for the more pleasant rooms of the newly refurbished, Black Guard House in Spansis, city-state of northern Coaseth. Maldon has established a hold in both the political and influential spheres in the city-state. Osric is no less involved in the undercity of Lowsis which has only begun to reveal its secrets. No city exists without its boundaries bordering on a nation. Spansis is no exception and must concern itself with the possibilities of imminent war.
