From the introduction: The Pack of the Howling Sun has gained notoriety lately as a cult bent on the fiery death of all that cross their path. Their raids beyond the borders of the Kingdom of the Wolf have left charred bodies and burning villages in their wake. Uffi Toothless believes the pack is tied to the Children of Surtur, an unusual death cult whose members believe selfimmolation is the way to convince the demonic lord of fire to destroy the world. The immediate threat posed by the death cult’s new offshoot troubles him, especially as it shows outward aggression formerly absent from the cult. He seeks stalwart folk who can gain intelligence on the Pack of the Howling Sun such as the group’s size, reach, and extent of their ties to the Children of Surtur. Since the Kingdom of the Wolf’s inhabitants hunt, capture, or outright kill nonlupine humanoids, close intelligence gathering is almost impossible for Uffi’s scouts and warriors. Anything short of powerful illusions to conceal an investigative team’s identity would prove disastrous for the team and reveal Uffi’s involvement to the pack leaders, potentially painting a target on the old jarl and his people.
