Description: Trouble brews in the north, an old friend comes calling, and Broken Tusk must seize its chance to rise to greatness.

Theo has his work cut out for him. As the small town of Broken Tusk expands, striking deals with neighboring towns, attention from the north drifts southward. The Kingdom of Qavell, which has long-since neglected the southlands, threatens to bring them all to heel. But the locals aren’t willing to give up their slice of independence so easily and an elven trader seems all too willing to help throw a wrench into the works.

When a mysterious figure appears on the beaches outside of Broken Tusk, things kick into motion faster than expected. The Season of Blooms is ending, giving way to the torturously hot Season of Fire. Theo will need to use both his alchemy skills and the ever-expanding skills of his citizens to bolster the quaint town. But every turn he takes reveals a little more of what happened before he was brought to this world.

Perhaps their newest arrival has answers.
