From the introduction: With the Coryani Civil War ripping the Empire apart, the true victims are the poorer towns and villages who have always counted on the protection of mighty Legions that are no longer there. Faced with an implacable evil, must they now submit to a new master? NOTE: It is highly recommended that LA-HP4-03 be played after LA-HP4-01 and LA-HP4-02. This is a LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure, designed for 6th to 16th level characters (APLs 7 through 15).
