The Imperial Age, the founding of the city of Pavis, the year 831ST. The forces of Harmony serve Lord Pavis in the creation of a Real City in the wastelands of Prax. He is opposed, in varying degrees by trolls, the aggresive Third Council, rapacious godlearners, savage animal nomads and, of course, inimical chaos hordes. In 834ST interest in the Dark Season Trollball league reached a peak of frenzied excitement. What peculiar reward was offered by the Great Mothers? Why had a team come all the way from Pamaltela to compete? How did humans get to see a report on the violent and dangerous game? Find out.... The secrets of the Dark League were never revealed in full and attention turned to the growing nomad threat. Not a horde of Storm Bull fanatics this time but something far, far worse... As the rains dried up and the dust storms blew in from the east there were questions, debates and strange alliances within the Walls of Paragua... Who was Elboi and where was he from? Why was fierce nomad warrior called Eugenia Primrose? Why did a Waha shaman deal peaceably with the ground men? What about the mysterious tattoos? Do I like chips?
