Time passed in relative prosperity of the frontier regions. With few if any real indications of the passing of time. Alas though there were changes that went almost unnoticed. First the druids slowly faded from prominence in society. There were even rumors of a division in their ranks called the shadow circle. A circle of druids who wanted to retain control and status in society or took a stance on a more militant attitude towards the populace and its abuses of nature. They remained just a secretive rumor about the elusive druids. Now word of an artifact which could achieve their ideals comes to light. The magical circle stones if reassembled would give them this power. They are not the only ones seeking this artifact and its reassembly. It is on this path that five unlikely adventures would be set. Talasine the druid, a secretive priest of nature. Raveena a sorceress, of fiery hair and demeanor. Raven a swords man, and mysterious mentor. Khonnar the Danean, a youth of fair hair and boisterous youthful attitude. And finally Mahlvakar the ranger, of dark hair and travel wonder. They are a force of nature to be reckoned with, but which force will they side with good or evil. Each side is betting on their good auspices... one will be disappointed.
