Game Day: Researching a Dwarven Fortress
It began with a sword called Winter. Jorm, one of the party's dwarven heroes, found the long sword still clutched in the skeletal hand of a Northman barbarian. It will end at the The Lost Sky Citadel of Akrafell, a dwarven fortress at the top of the world of Golarion.

It's finally spring. It's finally stopped snowing, and temperatures are inching their way into the 50s. The kids respective softball and baseball practices are underway, and - if we are lucky - we might just see some plants beginning to sprout and trees starting to green.

Inspired by the Wil Wheaton's Tabletop episodes, my lunchtime gaming group decided to put Ragnarok on hold and try our hand at Green Ronin's Dragon Age RPG.
