Note: This story outline is incomplete.

Saving Parthyn

Malin Keshar, a young studious mage from the town of Parthyn, is fed up with the constant attacks on his home by marauding orcs every summer. After being taught a few lessons on necromancy by Darken Volk, a traveling necromancer, he decides to defend the town by raising the village's dead against the orcs. His unnatural control over former friends and loved ones manage to drive the orcs off, but not without a price:

Malin Keshar is henceforth banished from Parthyn for dabbling in the forbidden arts.

A Peaceful Valley

Angry and bitter over his exile, young Malin searches for Darken Volk, the necromancer who taught him previously, in an attempt to win back his place in Parthyn and defeat the orcs menacing his home. Darken pities the boy and takes him under his wing as his new apprentice. Together, they harvest the souls and bodies of a nearby goblin village to add to their growing army.

A Haunting in Winter

Darken and Malin seek shelter as winter surrounds them. They cleanse a cave full of dwarves and outlaws first before settling down.
