The Passage of Lilondära

There is a woman who will do anything and everything in her power to rescue her people from the giants, including traversing the dangerous mountain named Lord Goralae, fighting horrendous beasts of all kinds, journeying through the dark, and worst of all: dealing with the most annoying travel companion to exist. This woman is Cleric Liliondära of Huevein.
The human village of Huevein sits in the shadow of Lord Goralae, a mountain that is normally a place of riches and stability. However, since the dwarves left and the giants moved in, Huevein has been terrorized by the grizzly creatures that lurk in the dark. After a full winter of people slowly going missing, Huevein's authorities have declared that they have no choice but to evacuate the town for fear of imminent demise. Liliondära cannot and will not accept this. Packing her bags and taking her father's pickaxe off the mantle, she heads toward the mountain in hopes of rescuing her people and finding her sister Lyana, who has also recently gone missing. What she was not expecting to find in the mountain, however, is Kaliander of Breadbox, an arrogant, boisterous bard who decides it best suits him to accompany Liliondära. For fame and glory, sure, but also because people need to be rescued!
All the while, Liliondära has just become a Cleric of Trixshala, the Goddess of Light. Normally the goddess is ever-present and helpful to Her followers, but for some reason, Liliondära is not graced by Her presence. She undergoes rigorous tests of faith while on her journey, hoping that she can prove herself worthy of the goddess's blessings. Liliondära's not sure what's worse: her people being kidnapped, feeling abandoned by her chosen deity, or the exasperation Kaliander can bring on. It's something she'll have to figure out in the deep darks of Lord Goralae!
