| - One cold morning of a memorable day, scouts reported dire news in Frostkeep. The orcs were massing, and moving towards the city. The defenders had little time to prepare, for it was only two hours later when the sounds of drums and battle cries could be heard. Panic and slight chaos emerged, for the guards gathered at the gates in fear and confusion, and without leadership. Hurack, captain of the guard, turned out to be a traitor, and had mysteriously vanished. By that time no one knew this battle would be the dawn of four great heroes, who’s names should never be forgotten.

| - One cold morning of a memorable day, scouts reported dire news in Frostkeep. The orcs were massing, and moving towards the city. The defenders had little time to prepare, for it was only two hours later when the sounds of drums and battle cries could be heard. Panic and slight chaos emerged, for the guards gathered at the gates in fear and confusion, and without leadership. Hurack, captain of the guard, turned out to be a traitor, and had mysteriously vanished. By that time no one knew this battle would be the dawn of four great heroes, who’s names should never be forgotten. Evana Marlson, the guardian of Frostkeep. Sister to the Duke, and a beautiful lady warrior who dedicated her life to the city. She was the one who came to lead the battle, who refused to give up, and was among the few who eventually freed Frostkeep from orcish paws. Caluldur Holelin, the berserker. An elf with cunning intelligence, but, according to most, completely insane. During the battle of Frostkeep, Caluldur couldn’t get enough of it’s thrill, and took down his foes with great pleasure, like a true berserker. Orcs fell before his mighty blade in massive numbers. He decisively changed the course of the war, by getting help from Tarloc. After the battle, he mysteriously vanished from the city. Svart Aere, the dark hero. Following the ways of a mysterious priestly order, to most he seems a dark character, shrouded in mystery. Strange rumours exist about him, and there are only few persons he truly wants to speak with. His role in the battle, however, is certain. He was the one who followed in Sarwick’s footsteps, the one who fought until there was nothing left to fight for, and then turned back with Evana to free Frostkeep. Many note his reluctance to engage in battle; the fact that he didn’t enjoy it. Svart himself stated that it was his duty, and that he had no choice. Tiki of Saxenshire, the brave halfling, twin sister to Kira the martyr. The one who put a traitor to justice in the aftermath of the battle. She bravely stood by Svart’s side with her short bow during the entire battle, fighting for a town she had no feeling for. Yet, she remains modest about her contribution. My own role in this battle is scanty. When the orcs attacked, I was going through the city archives in the tower. From the window, I could observe the start of the fighting with my own eyes. I loosened arrows on the orcs, but since I am no warrior, there was little more I could do. I left with the last group of refugees to Ashrindale. The story of the part of the battle I didn’t witness is based on the tales the heroes who fought told me.
