Azul, Feikiran, Gileas, Illidan and Jax are teleported back to the Hosttower in Luskan. They make their way back to the compound of Ship Rethnor to find their long-lost comrades in Boarstack, Kelderrin and Rolann. With Boarstack being the most lost, having accidentally misplaced himself from the Underdark back to Luskan.
After a friendly reunion, Boarstack, Gileas, Illidan, Jax, Kelderrin, Nord and Rolann decide to travel north to Ten-Towns where unfinished business remained.
The merry band of adventurers travel north by sea and east by land to arrive in Bryn Shander. After a rather brief conversation with the bristly Duvessa Shane, the band heads to the Brewmaster Pub. Astonishingly, Declan is behind the bar. Declan says that Embree is still recovering and that he cannot leave her side right now. He suggests that they seek the help of a mysterious wanderer who is rumored to be a great fighter. The party recruits the enigmatic Nord, a man with short, straw-colored hair shaved on the side and frosty blue eyes.
A dwarven Harper agent also speaks quietly with the party. He suggests that they travel north of Bremen to talk with #Harshnag @ForceGrey.org, a Frost Giant expert of Frost Giants. Jax confers with his own contacts and confirms the situation.
The party trudges northwards through the icy landscape until they are several days north of Bremen. Gileas leads the party and his bravery is rewarded by a huge boulder thrown at him. The party has a feeling that they’re not in Luskan anymore and they leap into action to defend themselves. A short battle ensues and the group receives the unexpected assistance in the form of an imposing frost giant who proclaims himself to be Harshnag. He suggests that they seek the aid of the Oracle of the All-Father to find out the reason behind the giants’ unusual violence.
With Kelderrin standing on the shoulder of a giant, they follow the blue icy road to the Valley of Khedrun. After many days of long travel, the group arrive at a magnificent giant temple and fresh human footprints in the snow. This makes the weary party wary of a potential confrontation ahead.
The party moves quietly into the hallway to find a large band of human barbarians banging at the enormous doors to the temple. A chained white dragon is with these strangers.
Rolann misty steps towards the group. He cuts down their leader and the female barbarian nearby. The party quickly realizes that these barbarians are not aggressive and Gileas becomes peacemaker, healer and apologist.
After the reaching a tense ceasefire, the barbarians make way for Harshnag. The frost giant opens the doors to reveal an enormous room with statues of giants and a rune-engraved archway. Harshnag announces that the party must unravel the mysteries of this room to reach the Oracle beyond.
