Ten summers have passed by in Northernland since the demise of the evil Queen Helistra. A time of healing and tending the land for her people and for the Forestalls to replenish the Plateau and Great forests of the devastation she had left behind. It had not been spoken of, but two questions remained unanswered hanging over the heads of the Forestalls since her death. Why had they never found the body of Ringwold and where did Queen Helistra groom Grimstone’s rune staff in her evil, all those years ago? Questions that had always bothered the Forestall Martyn, more so now when suddenly the repentant rune staff of Grimstone’s within the reborn Ancient One started to have dreams and for a dwarf, whose people had left Northernland hundreds of years before, to suddenly appear on its shores once more from a distant land called Seikyre! His story of what was happening on Seikyre enough for the Ancient One to send help across waters they had never dared set sail upon since the dwarves disappearance, only to find what was awaiting them would see Northernland put in peril once more!
