Publisher's blurb: In an always snow-covered and desolate region, a small town called “Howl’s Peak” is located. It used to be a small human community of lumberjacks but due to the harsh environment, most of them abandoned the town. Since then it has become a save haven for half-orcs and other outcasts who log “steel-pines”, an especially durable and robust type of tree for a Neverwinter company. As the adventuring party finds their way to Howl’s Peak a murderous plot unveils itself: Gurred’s severed head (one of the town’s half-orcs) is thrown into the chimney of the town’s local inn and splatters to the feet of the horrified dragonborn innkeeper Icicle. But who would do such a thing? There are many possible culprits, Gurred seemed to have made some enemies among his brothers. But what would that mean for the community’s fate?
