Across the frozen
wastes that border the village of Skaljard, the Laird Alastair
Dunmarle resides in a castle, recently restored from a centuries-old
ruin. With a large household, an retinue of mercenaries hired from
the ports of Moonshae and the Sword Coast, there is some mystery as
to both his origins, and his intentions on Skal.
Disfigured, with a face
hidden by an ivory mask, he is nevertheless reputed to be a
benevolent leader, and plays willing host to many of the adventurers
of Skaljard village.

- A number of new player quarters within the Rustfire Inn

The Crypts of Dunmarle Castle
Elsewhere, across
the ocean, and beneath the isle of Arelith, the city of Andunor is
playing host to the 7th legion of Gracklstugh, a duergar
metropolis of the Underdark and home to one of its foremost armies.
Speculation is rife as to their intentions, though with the
preparation of their forces for an assault against the Illitihids of
the Mind's Eye, it is clear that once again the denizens of Arelith
Underdark face a critical period in their history.
