Daveth was a simple farmer, working for his lord, Jalde Frode, and raised two productive people of the community, Aldred and Kjell who together help their village and the Jalde's lands survive. The summer has been poor - they have tirelessly worked on their own fields before the first of the winter storms arrive There are stories often told, one of them between Merrit, the hunter, and Berach, the adder that you can see in the sky. But this story is true - Berach's Jewel is real. Daveth will do anything to save himself even if it does incur the wrath of it's owner.
