Since his earliest memories, Tar'vid has trained to be a Paladin, a holy warrior and defender of the innocent. Now upon reaching his eighteenth birthday, he is to face the judgement... a ritual few return from. Should he pass his judgement he will be set upon the path, to walk the world for a decade, before returning home to train the next generation with his gathered wisdom. Tar'vid will soon learn that the world outside of his home is much different than he expected and that there are powers in motion set against him... and so his path begins

After settling into Randell Tar'vid is contacted by the Paladin order and commanded by the Saints to go north. And so he embarks on his mission northwards, a path fraught with danger that will test his resilience and commitment to the Paladin order, a journey that will leave him changed forever.

As the murmurs of Tar'vid's return to strength circulate Windholme becomes broiled in turmoil as sides are taken. While the fires of war and rebellion are fostered amongst the other tribes by the mysterious Korgan... once more Tar'vid's path is fraught with danger.
