Once proud and mighty, the mountain dwellers known only now as THE LOST ONES were once masters of the tunnels and mines that run deep beneath the eastern mountains of the four kings empire. Long ago, a great conflict erupted between two great brothers of the mountain. The clash of swords and shields echoed through the tunnels and mines, and the earth shook with the fury of battle. When the dust had settled, a proud and ancient people had been shattered, a bond was broken, and their once-great cities had crumbled into ruin.

 

Forced from their homes, those that would become the lost ones fled into the harsh wilderness, these proud warriors and miners now eke out a living on the windswept mountain peaks and in the rocky valleys below. They have learned to hunt and forage in this unforgiving land, and have become experts at navigating treacherous terrain and fending off dangerous beasts. Though they may be lost to the wider world, they have carved out a path of their own, far from the conflict and strife that once consumed them.

 

But though they may seem content to dwell in isolation, there are whispers of these forgotten people still harboring a burning resentment towards those who drove them from their homes. In the shadows of their mountain fastness, they sharpen their blades and hone their skills, waiting for the day when they may return and take back their seat at the great table, deep inside the caverns beneath the mountain.
