Fornost Erain 

Fornost Erain, Norbury of the Kings. The bygone capital of the Northern Kingdom, whose ruins lie a week's distance from Bree. Stories tell of its sad history and fall under the Shadow a thousand years ago. Men say the place is haunted and call it Deadmen's Dike. No sane person walks there, but people whisper of forgotten secrets hidden in abandoned halls, guarded by nameless horrors.

For centuries, Fornost slept, visited only by the watchful Rangers of the North. Then, the ancient city awoke. One stormy night, lightning struck and the earth shook on the hills, and now rumours speak of unearthed treasure and eerie lights in the darkness. Whatever lies buried beneath the ruins is stirring, and sinister forces are moving to make their plays.

Who broke the peace of the dead city? What dark secrets are sealed within, and what happens if they break free? What, exactly, happened here, one thousand years ago? The mysteries are many. Only one thing is certain:

Fornost needs heroes.
