History
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.
