Chronicles of Hildegoth: The Gathering

Book 2: Much has come to pass since N'ommu stepped from the space between spaces where all evil has poured, simmered, and gestated over the millenia. Now that it is a he, and now that he has begun gathering all forces that will bend their knee to his rule, it falls to the scattered forces of the High King and his allies to take stock, rebuild, and arm themselves against a force about which they still know very little. As for the other players being drawn into the tapestry: JaBrawn the werebear, the orphaned children under his care, Arachias the politician from Greann, his unusual servant Noal and their pupil Alec, and the partners of opportunity Ribbet and Val, all are making their way down their individual paths, replete with obstacles, dead ends and victories. Finally, though, these paths begin to cross, and the opposition to N'ommu may yet have the strength to truly challenge him. Or so Canthus, the Grandmaster Warrick tugging all the strings, hopes.
