Epic fragments from the early days of Whitehawk: a band of unemployed war-veterans, fallen out of favor with the king and exiled, gather for last draughts of ale in their favorite tavern the Golden Mermaid, but then the withered old gelf, his mind a ceaseless maze, claims to have found a treasure-hunt. All but one, terrified, agree to it. The promise of heaping loot was too tempting. They speak blood-oaths around the oak table loaded with blazing quox candles and gleaming weapons. The next morning, hung-over, they strike upon the sea to seize easy loot from an old wizard who long ago locked himself away in his tower. Aye, that may be all well and good, but when it comes to such an enterprise don't expect that things will go as planned. Armed to the teeth with famous bronze and life-rending steel, they enter into places that its better never to go...and not only that, but even if they make it up into that tower, what if the centuries-old Archmage wakes up?"
