Young Gaspard Bay, a rising baronial hero ennobled for his efforts fighting with the eastern Hernfar garrison, desperately wishes to be given lordship over the disputed territory of Roth's Vale, not just for himself, but to fulfill a promise made to his ancestors.
Having no true borders itself, Roth’s Vale is the nebulous border territory between greater Terrinoth and the Mistlands. Though it is in many ways a cursed land, it was not always so. Before Waiqar’s betrayal, Roth’s Vale was a flourishing territory, protected by great magics and glorious treasures from the golden age of the Elder Kings. When the last baron of Roth’s Vale died without an heir, it became a no-man’s land, and the debate over who shall become its warden has only intensified in recent years.
Gaspard's main rival in the struggle for claim over Roth's Vale is Baron Zachareth. He covets the hundreds of artifacts lost in the land’s abandoned temples and castles. Such items could be used to defeat the undead—or to raise and command them.
