A war plagues the livable north of Mokosh. Both dwarven and human lives lost. Trying to keep the peace a prince and his bastard friend make their way into the arms of yet another enemy. Yet the terrors of the world are not done plaguing them as they are thrust into a journey they have no business being a part of. Yet somehow a bastard, a ward, and two princes find the world's fate resting directly on their shoulders.
