Nothrim, a deserted castle on the northen border, was a great stronghold long time ago during the war against the dwarves of the Ironfist clan, but now there is only a small garrison remaining. Being far from civilization, there are many dangers hiding in the wild. Here at the border starts the very first line of defence - ranger patrols. Artan, one of the rangers, has been given orders to investigate the fate of the villages to the north of the river. Local population is worried, one of the villages was burned, the other seems intact, but nobody knows what have happened to their inhabitants.
