Chapter 1: Home Sweet Home

The heroes transition from mere explorers to rulers of their newly founded capital on the shores of the Tuskwater. Starting from the fortified trading post, they must expand their influence across the untamed Narlmarches and the rugged Kamelands. Civilization brings its own turmoil: political unrest brews in muddy market squares, secret cultists plot in hidden cellars, and a werewolf terrorizes the outskirts.

Meanwhile, the wilderness remains fiercely untamed. The party will negotiate with fey in mystical groves, protect desperate logging camps, and hunt down dangerous beasts like the legendary hodag and monstrous owlbears. The true existential threat looms in the south—a violent tribe of trolls led by Hargulka has claimed an ancient dwarven fortress, preparing to crush the fledgling barony before it can fully take root.
