In brief summary:
Our heroes, Bellos, Greppa and Merideth, are citizens of the city-state Theralis, devoted to bringing their home through the developing crises safely and well. Although Theralis has begun to turn the tide against the orcs, there are disturbing hints that that the battles fought so far were merely the side effects of a greater war... one between the gods themselves.
In investigating the causes of the war, Greppa has encountered and spoken with a fiend... a lost God consigned to the infernal realms a thousand years or more ago, during the last major upheaval among the gods. He has decided to investigate the allegations of the fiend, and determine for himself what his goddess Allas is not telling him. Merideth has agreed, and Bellos, though wary of the fiend, continues to accompany the two.
We join them as they leave Tuoma, a northern city-state (and the locus of trade between The North and the southern city-states) to head east... into the very heart of orc expansion.
For more details, see Part I and Part II!
Our heroes:
Bellos the Brewer: Taller than either of the other two, but still something of a midget beside the real warriors of Aglaonis and Theralis both, Bellos is a slender, athletic man with dark, curly locks, a tan, unshaven face, and dark, dangerous blue eyes. A thick, meat cleaver-like iron sword (common to the Aglaonis region) lays across his back, a thick leather belt holds his tunic tight, and winged sandals adorn his feet. He wears steel bracers, and a white cloak of a long-forgotten militant Order of Allas. He bears a birthmark in the shape of Allas' symbol upon his neck.
Greppa of Tartwater: A fragile-looking ellini barely topping five feet, Greppa looks to be seventeen years of age, but in truth he is an arcanist of near-legendary calibre, already the equal of any Theralese arcanist save two. He has caramel skin, auburn hair, and dark, intense eyes. He bears the same birthmark as Bellos, but placed on his upper right chest, just below the collarbone. He is dressed in a dark, ankle-length tunic (held by a thick leather belt), a finely stitched coat, steel bracers, and a white silk cloak. He bears no weapons save a knife.
Merideth of Southbottom: A slender, pale woman with short, black hair and wide, dark eyes, Merideth has blossomed into a powerful and attractive mindworker whose servant background is rarely suspected. She bears the same birthmark as the other two, but on her left calf. Merideth wears a practical knee-length tunic (held by a thick leather belt) and coat, both dark brown, steel bracers, and the white silk cloak and clasp of Allas. She carries a single spear, made by a long-forgotten militant Order of Allas, and wears an even more ancient circlet upon her brow from the buried military of Kithios.
