The Black River Chronicles

Very few have a genuine understanding of what lead to the time known as the Summer of Fire, of the rising powers that had grown with the patience of mountains, over centuries. Only in looking back could scholars completely understand the full scale of events that preceded it. It is particularly difficult to distinguish what came "before", as this is a relative term. Each individual will have a point in time that they consider to be the time "before", after which their life will have irrevocably changed. General consensus suggests that by 1099 AC, it was already too late.

The Summer of Fire has burned away. The younger gods and their champion have defeated Krynok the Hunter, General Salamander has been destroyed, and slowly Tartaria is reuniting to heal the Clans and the land. The world has been left dazed and flattened, trying to pick up the pieces. Those who survived find themselves standing amongst the ruins with empty hearts, waiting for faces they will never see again. It has not occurred to many that this might be the greatest challenge of all.

Any who believe the Freetown Bridge to be a monument to freedom have sadly misjudged the dark intent of the Frisian Inquisition. Thousands of slaves have been snatched to help with its construction, and the fears of its purpose are building across the continent. Unable to stop themselves, a small group of adventurers from the renegade city-state of Aberddu seek to join those who would destroy it. A ragtag gang of mercenaries, priests, and greenskins prepare to stand up to the might of the Red Inquisition, before they discover that the enemy is closer than they realized.
