The DDC are on their way to their showdown with the Winter’s Knight. First however they must traverse the Faewilds. Across story and fairy tale landscapes back to an isolated mountain valley in their own world. They need to get to the lonely place where the mortal remains of the human who became the Winter’s Knight are interred. Waiting for them there will be eladrin grave wardens. These deathless fey elves have been set by the Queen of Night and Air as an eternal honour guard, and they are single minded in their devotion and duty.
Imbued with speed, finesse, and magics that call on the fury of the winter storm, these wardens are implacable opponents. The DDC will already have run a gauntlet to reach them, and they will receive no mercy if they fail. They served the Old Night and guarding this place is their penance for failing to protect him. Their sorrow locks them into their winter forms – a grim jest by the Unseelie Queen herself.
