THE YEAR 1013 (2004) OF THE AGE OF LIGHT...
1/16/1013 Age of Light:
A new year is dawning as the adventurers make their way to Tankard.
Long exiled from their homes, the dwarves of Tankard use a strange
celestial phenomenon and chilling winter conditions to strike
at their dark brethren holding their undermountain mines and
kingdom. While the dwarves attacked below ground, the adventurers
guarded the surface settlement amidst a meteor storm, arctic
creatures lead by an ice hound from the past, and various residents
of the Hammerfall Mountains, including a lich and its minions.
With the aid of the adventurers, the dwarves were able to reestablish
their control on Tankard and work on rebuilding their lives
again.

11/12/1013 Age of Light:
The adventures traveled into danger! Giants and Ogres, fleeing
from something in the northern mountains, headed southward,
which threw the Northern Border of Northgate into turmoil.
Thus, when the adventurers arrived in the far
northeastern Shire of Whitehorn to offer their assistance, they
found what kind of creature could chase away so many Giants
and Ogres from their mountainous homes: An ancient earth elemental
spirit which proved far beyond their ability to stop.
The adventurers eventually discovered a cave painting
depicting a method used many years ago to imprison the spirit
involving a specially crafted long spear, now broken into pieces
around the region. Dealing with the many conflicting Barbarian
Tribes ruling the area, gathering the long spear pieces and
recrafting it, and summoning the courage to battle an invincible
foe, the adventurers rallied to defeat the ancient elemental
spirit and its earth elemental minions and set things right
again.
With winter setting in and the troubles within
the mountains put to rest, the adventurers departed so the army
of Northgate could focus on driving the marauding Giants and
Ogres back to their own lands.
Meanwhile in Battice, as the adventures defeated
the earth spirit, an army of thugs, humanoids, and Giants moved
into the Freehold of Battice. Capturing the populace and turning
the town into their base, the army dug in firmly while their
leaders awaited the arrival of an artifact with the power to
create gates to other Planes. Within an hour of the defeat of
the earth spirit, the army in Battice activated the artifact.
Slowly it began to gain power as the Year 1015 steadily approached...
