For millennia the gods of order and chaos warred in deadlock; bringing death, famine, and pestilence upon the realm of mortals. The age of heros is over and only ruins remain. Blinded by their grudges, the two pantheons failed to see that have they stirred entities so ancient and incomprehensible that even their names have faded to time. As a ravaged world braces itself for the machinations of greater deities, the river city of Heimsfell remains blissfully ignorant.  In a world that produced innumerable of her kind, Amber was just another orphaned slum child focused on surviving the eternal winter of the north. In a realm of swords and magic she had neither to defend herself from the things that lurked hungerily in the dark. However, the strings of fate begin to twist themselves around her neck as an encounter with a peculiar band of mercenaries will spark a will throw her into a journey across the vast lands of a broken world.
