The citizens of the Golden Ring have lived in peace and prosperity for decades. Invasions by the hoards of centaurs from the east, the villainy of the Kolduny, and the wars with western neighbors have been in the past for most people's memory.
Recently, however, some strange occurances have led to rumors that evil is now stirring again. In several cities of the Golden Ring, childern have been falling ill to a strange disease. Local Volhovy are unable to identify the illness, but suspect it is not natural. No one can be sure what the cause is, but some villagers are afraid again. And winter about to set in, and the local wise women say it's going ot be a cold one...
The campaign starts in one of Vladimir's most popular inns, The White Stallion ('Beli Kon'). A large inn in the town's merchant district, inside there are several full tables of Slavs, one table of dwarven craftsmen (a gnome sits amongst them) and a table of rowdy foreign men who appear to be Varangians (Vikings). There is at least one partially empty table. Many people are talking about personal busienss, though a few are debating the causes of the strange illnesses. Many people are drinking Medovukha, or weaker spirits, and feasting on dishes such as blini or pelmeni.
It is currently November. Full winter has not yet set in yet. Outside it is chilly but not freezing; very light snow has appeared recently but melted immediately.
