After the Battle over the Mountains, those who had been living on the mountain said enough. The mountain was theirs', and they would not let anyone harm it again.
A prophecy was brought before The Council, saying that the people would have many years of plenty, that should be stored for the up coming years of drought.
The Southern Lands kept being hit with massive storms, leaving the crops to rot where they grew. The less fertile north barely got any rain, not enough to grow anything. The only reason so many lived was because they have stored so much the previous years.
With everyone gathering for trade, young warriors from all the clans are asked to be the hands of the council members. This year, the council has something in mind for the ones that stand out the most.
An assassin attempted to kill Iesha Kamaria, Matron of the Silver Moon Clan and a Council member
In the past few years the Council has noticed that things were worse than they should have been. The grain storage damaged, their relationship with human merchants dissolving. The tipping point was an assasin attempt on a council member. A small group is sent to find out who is doing this sabotage and why. They have 2 years to search and come back.
