A hardy people bereft of gods, the Dorns have crafted for themselves a rich and complex cosmogony, a spirituality based on the perseverance of the self over adversity, the adherence to the lessons of legendary ancestors and their deeds, and the exalting of historical figures into mythic heroes who embody specific ideals.

The late Third Age offers the players the chance to influence key events and adventure in a land under the looming Shadow in the north. Old alliances have broken down, the Fortress Wall is crumbling, and the Shadow’s agents are spreading through the land. Civilization still stands but for how long?
