A Shepherds Deed

In Grove of the Riverford Kingdom, an almost forgotten place. A young sheep herder named Pend Ragon and his father Ull Ragon travel to the nearby village of Grove to sell sheep's wool. Pend is caught by an Aar Senai named Merey Mereel Foxe and her guardian Hiku after his father sacrifices his life to protect Pend. Pend and his friends, Sam Colt and Rohat Barron, learn from Merey that the Shadow's servants are looking for the angel who is said to have been reincarnated in the area. Unfortunately, Merey is unable to determine which of the three men it is: Pend, Sam, or Barron, and takes all three out of Riverford and back to Tar'Velon. On their journey to the Southlands, Wai Herewini, a "Wind-Listener" (a local healer), joins the group after a horrific battle with shadow creatures. The group is complete when the two druids Odfric and Ered join them.
