Long ago, the Forlorn Swords inTainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalonused to be full of life, both in war and in peace. The four Dál Riata tribes used to rule the snowy, mountainous landscape, and each of them thrived in their chosen role, alone and working together.

In current times, things have become a far cry from what they used to: the tribes are fractured and at odds with each other, their Giants have fallen silent, and the Wyrdness encroaches upon them as much as it does the rest of Avalon. One man wants to change it all, but only if someone can help him rally all the Dál Riata.
