Beyond the Great Hall

By Ryan C Cipriani

Adventure. Excitement. Danger. The ethereal call of duty and the sepulchral chime of honor. All of these are things Kr g, the Battle Prince, would prefer to avoid. Welcome to the Southern Reach. Nestled south of the raging Swordsong River and west of the impenetrable, mysterious Dragon's Spine mountains, it is a harsh and rugged land, fraught with peril and rife with might and mysticism. From clans of bloodthirsty trolls and village-razing dragons, to the looming, constant threat of abject boredom, this is a land in need of heroes. And the young heir to the iron barbarian crown is quite contented to let someone else do the hero work. That is until Kr g's father, the wise and fearsome Battle King, expels his son from the confines of the Great Hall just weeks before the prince's 25th birthday, and sends the untested, uninterested junior warlord on a series of zany and tumultuous labors of would-be greatness. Much to Kr g's chagrin, he finds he is painfully naive in the hazards of the world beyond his fortress city, and it will take a heap of luck just to bumble past the next signpost. With the help of a stalwart, if extraordinarily strange, group of squabbling new companions, the Battle Prince will brave the stronghold of an invading band of marauders, and plum the depths of an ancient monster's cave as he ventures forth on his first real steps towards becoming a hero... dragging his heels all the way.
