While the great cities hold steadfast against the dangers of the far north the various smaller settlements and hamlets of the frontier must often fend for themselves. Such is the fate of the town of Deadsnows sitting at the feet of the foreboding Nether Mountains. Threatened by orcs, goblins, dragons, and other menaces the folk of Deadsnows are always vigilant and never stray far from their walls. The roads are just as dangerous, only the bravest travelers walk “the Fork”. You are one such traveler daring the far reaches of Faerûn. Weary from your journey and seeking shelter from the cold you have arrived in Deadsnows. You find that the people are without welcoming words and kind smiles, a grim aura resonating in the air. Facing food shortage and constant attacks across the countryside morale is low and the town watch are pressed to retain order, the Seneschal having naught to offer locked away in his manor. A sinister shadow presides over Deadsnows misfortune, the eyes of tyrants have come to rest on what they see as theirs to be dominated. Willing or not you will find yourself swept up in the coming events. Will you seek to help the people, muster riches for yourself, or merely survive?

Our tale takes us to the town of Deadsnows, an isolated settlement in Old Delzoun, a region on the far northern frontier of Faerûn. Players will start off in Deadsnows and from there can journey about the region visiting locations such as The Fork, the Nether Mountains, the ruins of Ascore, and so on. Deadsnows itself currently has a range of problems from a lack of leadership to a food shortage which has lead to unrest among the people. Not to mention the usual attacks by aggressive beasts and bands of goblins and orcs. As suggested above this series of occurrences is not coincidental but the work of malevolence, the machinations of those who would seek to subjugate Deadsnows and it’s people. You and those like you must choose to merely survive and tend to your own affairs or take up the mantle and help the people from the coming storm. Further detail will be provided via query as well as when the official thread/OP is posted. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Below is a listing of rules and guidelines as well as some “resources” (wikis) for those who wish to familiarize themselves with Deadsnows, The Silver Marches, and the rest of the surrounding area. These are after all locations that will be visited in the RP. The official thread/OP will have further details as well as other features, for now I am focused on gathering those interested and providing any requested clarity. I will also add that any helpful suggestions are welcome!
