It is the Year 994 of the Fifth Epoch. The high elves of the Elendarii Imperium are at war with the mountain orcs of Gruumsh. The might and tenacity of the orc horde have whittled away at the empire, and the emperor sues for peace. He pledges his daughters hand in marriage to the orc warlord. But a shadowy organization plots to keep the world at war. Join in on an adventure as you meet warlocks and fighters, paladins and rogues, druids and barbarians. Follow our heroes as they navigate a world on the brink of collapse. And find yourself in the shadow of a sinister castle with a dark history. At the end of the day, Dungeons and Dragons is collective story telling between friends. This novel series is what happens when that story telling is put to paper, though its not so collective anymore. Penned by an obsessive DM who is never quite happy with his work, here is my attempt to trim the fat off those stories so that everyone can enjoy them. See if you could spot the natural 1s and 20s.
