The Silent Stalemate

The era of open wars between countries has been replaced by a silent stalemate, and no one wants to start a new war without first gaining a significant advantage.
And so, the standard company of quest-takers sets out: a pair of elves (a drow warrior and an elven princess), a dwarf, a mage, a holy man, a human prince, a werewolf, a cunning thief, and a warrior maiden. Who is the main hero among them? Who will survive it all-they don't know, but they are determined to retrieve the artifact that can defeat the Dark Lord.
But how do they find the damned thing? In a small village, hidden in the foothills of the mountain range that divides the Dark and Light halves of the world, live ordinary people. They hunt, marry, quarrel-in short, they live their lives. And as fate would have it, it is they who know how to reach the artifact's resting place.
The whole story is written from the perspective of one of the cart drivers accompanying the party.
And one more thing: Everyone lies.
