Where Shadows Lie

Many are the shadows that tug at men's hearts.

In a world overrun by the dark tides of Orcs and other foul creatures, the heroes of Achaiah's Fist have succeeded in carving out a city of Men. Now, the city of New Elswick held securely, they begin to look outward in the hopes of finding other survivors. On one such mission, the young half-Elf Bearclaw finds himself in the city of A'tross. A strange place, ruled by a Council of Seven who are selected through a system of challenges and duels, A'tross has withstood the tests of time and Orcish hordes. In recent years, however, a shadow has fallen across the city. There are new faces on the Council, men of questionable intent, and who have risen to power by dark means. Terrible things are happening and the streets of the city are no longer safe. Bearclaw and his companions must confront their own inner demons and shortcomings if they are to help this city from falling completely into darkness.
