Sig had once been an adventurer. He had once fought, drunk and bled alongside companions to change their destinies. Yet that fight had been won, and his companions were gone. Some were dead, others... were somewhere else. He now lives his long days in a hidden keep on the edge of the Wilds, a sea of trees filled with monsters that guard the mountain of the gods. When a group of runaway slaves stumbles upon his keep, the harsh realities of the world are once again brought to his attention. Will he remain silent before them? Will the men and women that join him convince him not to?
