Publisher's Synopsis
In the Northwest of Aerbon, King Louis Delaunay IV of the Kingdom of Legion declared a tax upon the hemp that passed through his lands. The people of Ahglor were a hardy folk who grew the stuff and hunted and farmed in the northern reaches of their mountainous country. The King was a fiend for their weed and his men confiscated it at the borders, arresting any who carried the product of the North on their travels to exchange it with the eastern elves of Aenor. Meanwhile, in Aenor a mysterious threat plagued their land; the residents of their coastal towns were disappearing in the night and an expedition was arranged by the Great Chief to explore the lands east across the water.
