As dawn breaks over the verdant canopy of Verdan-Glen, the village of Abondavie stirs to life, its inhabitants unaware that the winds of fate are about to sweep through their tranquil lives. Nestled at the edge of ancient forests and sprawling meadows, Abondavie has long been a haven of peace in a realm fraught with hidden dangers and dark secrets. But now, something stirs in the shadows and the edges of the frontier, drawing them seekers of adventure to a destiny far greater than any they had imagined.

Your journey will take you from the mist-shrouded forests of Verdan Glen to the bustling streets of Valcour and the harsh fortress of Bertrand, as you seek to stave off evil and save the realm. Along the way, you will encounter allies who will fight by your side, associates who will offer you wisdom, rivals who challenge your might, and adversaries who seek to thwart your quest for their own dark purposes.

Intrigue and magic will be your constant companions, as you navigate the complex web of alliances and enmities that define the politics of the Protectorate. The pursuit of knowledge and secrets will lead you to ancient libraries, hidden temples, and forgotten tombs, where the line between friend and foe is as thin as a blade's edge.

Your choices will have a profound impact on the affairs of the realm. Will you ally with the enigmatic mages, or will you seek the martial prowess of knights? Will you uphold the ancient laws of the land, or will you forge a new path in the face of adversity? The fate of the Protectorate rests in your hands.

As you rise from humble beginnings to become heroes of the realm, you will engage in classic sword and sorcery adventuring, facing down fearsome beasts, outwitting cunning villains, and overcoming trials of courage, intellect, and spirit. The journey will test your resolve, but remember: the brightest flames are born from the darkest shadows.

Will you answer the call and become the beacon of hope the Protectorate desperately needs? Adventure awaits, and with it, the key to saving the realm—or sealing its doom. The adventure begins now.
