The Druadach Valley has spent two hundred years in total isolation. Now its connections to the provinces of Skyrim and High Rock have been restored, and the rest of Tamriel is watching its withered remains with interest. Chief Gorek of Garshakur refuses to surrender his mountain stronghold to the Imperial Legion, denying them control of the trade route between Jehanna and Solitude. As the war grinds on, the people of Druadach flee behind the walls of Highreach, seat of the young Lord Haelan. But even that last refuge is under threat — a mysterious knight of unknown origin is cutting through defenses and leaving only death in their wake. The valley's fate rests on the choices of champions both seasoned and untested.
