Story

“The difference between mischief and malice? Numbers.”

Edgewall is the closest thing to a civilized city, on the border for the Wilds. Lots of creatures from deeper parts of the Wilds can be seen at the markets, but one of them is never welcome in the city. The rats. The piper Totenhanz asks you to see through this problem, but when you go search for their nest, it seems the hunter has become the prey.
