The heroes of Ruauck-El are reeling over a great loss. There is no time to rest and mourn as the dwarven leaders within the Frost Dwarf keep, the Shield, have called upon an ancient tradition, the Giimtock, to unite the clans under one ruler to lead them into war. Trillius, who had succumbed for a short while to an evil entity of a blue dragon called Dal-Draydian, longs to be reunited with the dead creature's knowledge of the lost treasures of Ruauck-El.
