As the summer months wound towards winter a curious invitation was sent to each of the nations of Dargarth. Champions from every castle and clan hall were called to a midsummer festival being held by two brothers, Tandrei the Elder and Sarthas the Wild. Long ago these brothers had quarreled over an artifact of tremendous power, the Chalice of Memory. In a rage one of the brothers slew the other and spilled a few drops of blood into the waters of the Chalice. Its magic tainted by kin slaying the Chalice, instead of granting a boon, bestowed a curse upon the family. From that day forward they remembered every death they suffered.
A hundred years passed from that fateful conflict to reach the summons the brothers sent. Those who answered the call found that here, in this hundredth year, the stars had aligned and the ley lines shifted in such a way that the curse could be broken, or altered. While the brothers continued their battle, the first of Splintervale, Tanith Lorn, had found love in a most unlikely place. A daughter of Tandrei the Elder who he met in the woods on his rangings both beautiful and kind.
Against the wishes of their fathers this pair was wed. The outraged Tandrei the elder was slain by Tanith Lorn and Sarthas the wild was dispossessed as clan head. The curse of the Chalice of memory had been broken, but unfortunately this was not the only evil in the forest.
With so many outsiders in the woods it was almost to be expected there would be a number amongst them with greed in their hearts. There were a number of idols throughout the woods that were stolen, sacred wards of the elves that locked ancient undead monstrosities into their burial chambers. With these upset the dead began to rise to trouble the living.
There was also a savaged knight who warned that the Doom of Langer had been seen in the area, though the beast never manifested that any adventurers saw.
