For awhile now Lonetree has been under attack and on the run, but now with the help of the Secondary Heroes and the Orcs the town is now safe and settled. What they're left with is a single quiet year, four seasons with which to rebuild and remember how to work together. Eventually the frost shepherds bearing bad news from the rest of Serein will arrive but Duncan and Etney don't know that yet. So we begin with Spring into Summer. Meanwhile Brymgar continues his own year.
