Here Comes the Sun

Played with Georg Zuse (scakah) & N. 9 (Tomas)

After an agent of the Queen of Ice & Snow stole the Sunseed, and in so doing, doomed Sung Drasisle, the Winterwoe Queendom launched its war of absolute dominion over the known world. Near a year has passed since then, and in that short span, its triumph has been all but assured. The last of the dryads cower in their final glade, the races of elves, dwarves and humans have been reduced to nought but serfs toiling at the Queen's whim, and snow has shrouded all the lands.

For the Summerglade Courts to have even a hope of resurgence, the Northfort's treasure vault must be breached, the chains that bind the Sunseed in arcane ice be broken, and the prize escaped with and returned to Sung Drasisle. Can this be achieved, the dryads swear they shall do a better job of safeguarding the precious seed in future.

The Queen of Ice & Snow is a ruthless, remorseless force of nature, not the sort of ruler who lounges in an ivory tower, reliant on guardians to keep her safe. She has personally slain many of the realms’ greatest heroes, often in single combat. Her primary troops are creatures the dryads call Snowfolk, which stand almost 3m tall on average and have greater strength by far than the average human. They are also canny pack hunters, with sharp instincts, sharper senses, and just enough ingenuity to use basic tools.

MISSION GOAL: Infiltrate the Northfort, recover the Sunseed, return it to Elder Sarracenia.

PORT-IN: By Sung Drasisle, in the Summerglade Courts.
