Last moon saw the final destruction of the corrupted Witch, Valtherion, and the greatest of his Face-taker allies. Thanks to the cunning and the strength of the Freefolk, the Western World-Lock has been retrieved and granted to the King in Gold and Eastern Witch-Queen, Gabriella.

And in the midst of this conflict, Summer has blossomed into fullness. Its warmth bathes Freehold and the Hinterlands with light and heat, yet there are those that know that this radiance is fleeting. Beyond the Summer and the Fall lies Winter and the machinations of Anubisath, Witch-King of the North and wielder of the Northern World-Lock. His minions move to ensure that the stalwart Freefolk have little respite even as their master regains his strength and momentum.
