The ruins of Old Shornhelm in eastern Rivenspire now serve only as a base-camp for the Bitterhand Bandits… a fitting capital for one of the most ruthless gangs in all High Rock.

It is a stark reminder to High King Emeric that despite the turmoil that afflicts this region, the issue of the rule of Rivenspire must soon be settled.  For what is a country without a king, but gangs of bandits; and soon who will there be left to protect the towns and villages from these gangs, but worse bandits still.
