So begins an epic tale of shattered alliances, noble acts and dark deeds to be told across the Realms for generations to come. A mysterious relic is borne to Neverwinter in the hands of a lone hero so that its secrets may be unlocked - secrets that carry the fate of all the North. If left unchallenged, all of the North is doomed to fall under its power.Įven in this darkest hour, hope remains. Unbeknownst to the denizens of the North, deep in the Mere of Dead Men, dark forces from across the Realms have been rallied under the banner of a legendary evil. Unnoticed, a greater danger stalks the City of Skilled Hands. Tension growing between the mighty city-states means the Sword Coast again teeters on the edge of open war. But the brief peace the Realms have known may be at an end. Years have passed since the war between Luskan and Neverwinter, almost enough time for the wounds of war to heal.
Bards sing tales of heroes from ages past, but never have the Forgotten Realms so desperately needed a champion.
