It's been two years since the expedition to the Silent World. Each of our adventurers has returned home, some to great fanfare and some (blessedly) to some deserved peace and quiet. A few of our crew have been privy to their collective spoils: knowledge curated from the Old World. A few months with the books had resulted in research grants that shuttled top scientists from the known world to the labs of Reykjavik. Numerous other expeditions, both privately funded and backed by the Nordic Council, have successfully been carried out in Denmark, in parts of Sweden, and around Finland. Four months ago, Copenhagen was cleansed and reclaimed.

A library was opened in Mora for all the books that were returned to safety from the various missions, where bright-eyed adventurers gather as a meeting point before setting off into the vast wild unknown. One night burning the midnight oil, an offhand note of breakthrough research for the rash was discovered, mentioning an Old World city somewhere a little bit further away than Denmark.

A group of very familiar individuals gathered again in front of the Nordic Council with a proposal, and a budget.

Now Taru Hollola, Trond Andersen, and Törbjörn and Siv Västerström are gathered outside of the Library of Mora, waiting for some adventurers to arrive.
