In the module’s opening scene, you awake on a raging battlefield to bear witness to your Prince’s dying words: “Tell the King that she is dead.” Those seven fateful words mark the start of a journey that will propel you from the edge of a dying world into its very heart. Questions abound and answers are few. Who is your

King and where will you find him? Who is this ‘she’ that your Prince says is dead? Who were the men and women, all frozen corpses now upon that field of battle, whose uniform you share? Most importantly, who are you and why did you alone survive?
