📖 Story Summary

In the Great Valley, most tribes have migrated south for the season, but one small clan is stuck — hunted by a fearsome creature known only as the Night Thing. The dwarf chieftain Skarna Two-Axe begs for aid, urging brave hunters to pursue and slay the beast that has slain her son and terrorized her people. (Atlas Games)

As the adventurers investigate, they’ll begin at the clanfire, uncover clues about the creature, and pursue it into its eerie lair, filled with strange manifestations and danger. The deeper the party goes, the more they’ll discover—not just about the Night Thing, but about a shadowy plot against the clan itself. Only by confronting both the monster and the hidden threat can they hope to save Skarna’s people. (Atlas Games)
