The Land of Mithrock is one of tumult and phenomena, of monsters and magic, of dynasties and replacements. The Maras of Bainarithe rule the land, but trouble finds their subjects no matter the time, no matter the era, no matter the king. Ivalee Brineheart is the leading candidate for the Arch Sage position, but her interpersonal skills jeopardize her potential as a leader. Alexander, the adopted bastard of the World's Most Contemptible, struggles to keep his sworn-brother, the Crown Prince, in tow. Eldric and Melara Rosamund are rich, attractive, and seemingly exotic to those who don't know them thanks to their half-elf, half-voidling status. They, like anyone else, struggle to deal with a father who no longer seems to respect what makes them, and their dead mother, themselves in the first place. Ben is a Cleric, a monster hunter and exorcist hybrid, who wanders the land of the Massif with his partner, Abe, to keep the mountainous land safe from the beasts of their world. His confusing life is made more-so when he is offered a massive contract tied to an amoral request.
