History
Steading of the Hill Giant Chieftain
In 2966, following the Shattering of Orodeth, many of the giant tribes that had previously been kept under control by the Mercantile Alliance grew bolder and began openly raiding nearby towns. With Drake's Company and Kazak's Follies both disbanded, the leaders of Northern sent word out for local heroes to band together and fight against the giants. Thus did Dawn Breeze, Garland and Zook join former Mercantile Alliance marine Karriss Kellson; and former wizard of Drake's Company Ru Bae Ya; in traveling to the fortress of the hill giant chieftain, Nosnra.
It was raining when they arrived, and Garland took advantage of the reduced visibility to quietly assassinate the hill giants standing guard outside. Entering through a side door, they snuck down a side passage, avoiding the main hall as they dispatched every hill giant they encountered. In one room they were attacked by a cave bear, but Dawn Breeze charmed it into following her. The druid continued to act kindly to the bear, hoping to entice it to continue following her once the enchantment wore off. In another room, they found a letter from a mysterious person named Eclavdra directing Nosnra on where to strike next.
