the first verse

Our heroes find themselves fleeing Darkon after being accused of a crime they did not commit. With the help of a magical lantern, they pass through the mists into Kartakass, an untamed land in the southern Core where wolves roam freely. Here, they uncover the mystery of stolen youths and a conspiracy that steals the wandering spirit of Vistani. Will they survive this strange and sinister wilderness or will our adventurers run with the hunted once again?
