A SUMMARY OF THE
SEVEN TALES
Corwyn takes part in an expedition to the Northlands looking for the answer of eternal life, but soon finds himself in a wild adventure where his own life hangs in the balance.
While visiting a shrine infrequently sought after by the faithful, Corwyn draws closer to the divine, birthing an encounter that will stay with him the rest of his life.
During a strong downpour, Corwyn finds a cemetery next to an inn in which he takes shelter. He soon discovers, however, that this is no ordinary inn, and both it and the cemetery are more connected than he could ever imagine.
A fruitless search leads Corwyn and an old dwarven friend traveling alone on a road at night, wherein they meet up with some halfling highwaymen who receive more than they were expecting from the duo.
When two demon hunters arrive in a small village, Corwyn and his dwarven friend get wrapped up in a strange series of events that become more confusing and life-threatening the further they progress.
While running for his life in the Grasslands of Gondad, Corwyn comes upon a neglected memorial from a once mighty empire. Curious and eager to escape his pursuers, he begins an investigation, leading to a supernatural encounter.
While on vacation for the summer, a request for aid from an old flame soon sends Corwyn into a mess of halfling thieves, ancient tombs, treasure, and some other rather messy issues he finds hard-pressed to get out of so easily.
