From the designer:
Today, you died on the battlefield. You didn?t even want to be there, but there was nowhere left to run away to. No escape. All that remained was to stand, in the cold, against the foe. You couldn?t even do that.
Then, SHE returned you to life and charged you with one task by which you might save your family, your home, and the world: slay the usurper, the heresiarch Josilfa Migol of Galgenbeck, whose armies decimated your people. (This won’t save the world. SHE merely wants vengeance against Josilfa.)
It is the dead of night, and a blizzard threatens the health of those still living. Josilfa, though, revels in her camp, the force engaged in an unholy orgy for Nechrubel.
Your task is impossible, with your one ally the blizzard itself--the snow, mixed with ash blowing from the cremation pits, is so heavy in the dark that your passage will be heavily obscured...
