necessity.
    Her horse, Jonn, took her from the well-traveled road between the city of Dragon’s Reach and the small town from which she came, the plainly-named Crossroads. This dusty and boulder-marked road cut through the Dragon Valley like a deepened scar, well-used by desperate travelers and vicious highway robbers alike. She worked a small path off the road until it faded away, leaving her in the midst of tan grass and umber-hued ghas-root plants and shrubs.
    Being in the open on any bit of a rise invited trouble, either by bandits or drakeworms, so she wisely stuck to ravines and dry gullies once filled by spring rains. With winter, these stream beds turned dry and hard, useful paths which kept her horse free from the razor-sharp briers, but the streams never stayed the same every year, so relying on them could take you anywhere if you weren’t skilled in the least bit in navigation and survival.
    Her father taught her those skills, a woodsman by trade named Margus Wellstone. The Wellstones were blood-relatives of the Stormpeaks, and the most hated man of the North, Daugr Stormpeak. For this man Daugr was a Freeman, an Iceblade rebel against the outsiders of the Holy Empire of the Immortal god-king Amarus. The Holy Empire by trade and blade ruled this land, Southerners from the South Sea. The Empire was all things and rich, so they came north and established ports where proud Northman cities once stood, and brought these savage lands into the Empire’s folds.
    But Daugr Stormpeak would have none of it.
    It is said the Empire mercilessly killed his family and children, took his land, and banished the man to the hellish prisons under the grand Northlands capital of Sunrise. He escaped in a daring Iceblade raid, wounded the Imperial governor Regus, and fled to the deep ice-clad forests around the northern port of Icehold, a land where Freeman sympathies and blood pacts held stronger than stone to ice on the peaks of jagged mounts.
    The Iceblades raided brutal Imperial garrisons, terrorized the Empire’s holds and forts, and spread populist rebel sympathies across the land like angry blood spilled on purest snow.
    The Empire would have none of this, and so started a civil war which spread across the frozen north like wildfire, pitting family against family and hold against hold. With open rebellion burning in the deep forests of Icehold to the north, to the uneasy peace of stalwart Imperial strongholds like Dragon’s Reach to the east. Sometimes the state of unrest in an area was like the weather, you just had to be there to know how much blood was going to be spilled that day.
    Her family was related to Daugr’s, and thus blood-bound to join the oft-futile but bloody fight. This fact also raised the suspicions of Imperial garrisons wherever she went, so she rarely used her born-name, preferring to use her first-name and title, Brenna the Hunter, or Brenna Hunter for short.
    In this suspicious and violent time, using her birth-name could be a death sentence by association.
    Thoughts of blood-oaths and wars between an Empire and the people of a stubborn land fled from her thoughts as the open maw of a hillside cave came into view. Surrounding the cave’s entrance were the decomposing bodies and bones of villager and Imperial soldier alike, allies in death but often enemies in life, and all of whom attempted to slay this beast.
    This is it.
    Inside the drake holds the fair daughter of the mayor of the Crossroads, a fair lass by the name of Chloe Chrissus. Returning her alive to the crossroads meant a reward of one-thousand gold coins with no questions asked. Only the one scaled and clawed beast inside this lair knew this fact as well, and drew the people of the land to their cruel and greedy deaths. For this beast fed on their souls, and with every soul, the vile beast grew stronger.
    And larger.
    Fools all who entered here, including herself.
    For this was the lair of the drakewurm Faer.
