Stone and Steel

A powerful mage is given a mission that will preserve the status of those who adhere to the faith and practices of the Covenant. A warrior defends the traditions and heritage that define the legacy of the orcish clans, even if it means he must turn on his own. What cost is too high?A young girl, growing up over-shadowed and under-privileged, will face a decision that could alter the course of her people, for better or worse.A young boy, raised with a sword in his hand, holds a history that could tip the scales of power, if he only he knew the truth.Those with power seek to protect it. Those without seek to topple the scales. Some seek glory. Some crave vengeance. Some will do anything to hold on to the strength they have while others are just learning of how strong they could be. The Fractured Lands have never been more divided, and hidden from them all, ancient forces are waking. Forsaken evils, long thought legend, are slipping over the Black Peaks. Forgotten powers stir in the deep places, seeking to break their chains and be free. Forbidden songs are once more being sung. The night carries whispers of secrets long kept. A bloody day is dawning, and the future will be written by stone and steel.
