Synopsis

Plot

Oakleaf was an isolated village hidden away deep in the mountains, in the valley whose only access was a series of cave passages through the mountains, thus while the petty wars of man raged outside, the village slept on. However on one occasion they were visited by a group of Sorcerers seeking quiet and this they did, hiding themselves even from the villagers deep in the mountains. They helped the village no end, controlling the weather and helping to cure the plague when it struck.

It came to pass that one of the Wizards sought far beyond mortal comprehension and in doing so encountered an almighty evil power - a power which was to turn him against his fellow sorcerers, slaying them all and preparing to destroy the village.

This was all unknown to Cedric, the merchant, as he trudged wearily down Blizzard Pass. All he discovered was that it had begun to snow, something that had never happened in living memory here in the Pass.
Instead of heading south down the Pass and home he was forced to run, freezing cold, back towards the Gate of Sorcerers where he thought to seek refuge in the Caves, but the gate was barred. Almost frozen to death and without any shelter it looked like the end. As you may have guessed this is where you take over.
