The pair of escaped Nithian slaves - Khaz'mir, a foreign-born Rakasta and Ronir, a dark-haired Heldanner - wandered the Northern Badlands in driving rains for several days until coming upon (and sucessfully evading) a flock of strange, flightless bird-like creatures with heavy, sharp-looking beaks and to find themselves upon a small fort south of The Ruins of Corpsewatch called Stonegullet.
Stonegullet, as the duo would learn, was built by the Jarl of Ozurfold with financial backing of the Thyatian Empire. The Thyatian Senate installed a foppish lesser noble as governor, but the Jarl ordered a Northern- born and legendary Thane as military commander. However, the territory where the small fort lies is within Nithian claimed territory, and as such, much of the decadence of Nithian culture flows like cheap wine through the markets and taverans of the surrounding village.
The so-called 'Dead Lands' of The Ruins of Corpsewatch are still a very real and grave danger to the Northern Reaches, as wandering groups of ravenous dead still stalk the hills. Thankfully, the aimless hordes are not what they were in years past.
