Roaming Tides

The city of Terebith is under attack by forces of darkness. These forces hail from a land to the north, a land of ice and snow. Orcs, goblins, trolls, giants, undead all march upon the City of Tides to enslave its people, bring it under their control. You, hero/ine, will be thrust a preliminary attack by those forces, during the Festival of Lights. You will be selected by a council of war, as part of a small band of heroes, to infiltrate the land of ice and snow and destroy the King of the Ice Giants (Rashikus, pronounced Ra-shee-cus) who has united the dark forces under his magical crown of influence. However someone is manipulating him from the shadows, only time will tell who it is.
Your quest will take you over mountain ranges, through dark caves, haunted mansions, abandoned and active battlefields. You may find love, loss and a friendship all at the end of a blade.

The city of Terabith is like Venice except without it sinking constantly. It borders the sea and a mountain range, however nestled against the coastline it has very fertile soil. Terabith has enjoyed a large amount of prosperity in recent years, what was once a city of Dragons has increased to include all races. As immigration increased, the differences between standards of living increased as well, and a caste system developed. Terabith is called the City of Tides, because part of the city is underwater with houses and tunnels. connecting them to the above water parts of the city. Coincidentally, where someone lives in Terabith is a indication of what caste they are. Working class is underwater, admits filth and crime. Merchant class resides at water level, and the nobles reside in their mansions, towering over the populace.

Water:
Water allows the caster to blend into their surroundings, use water in battle, walk on water, an immunity to cold, and use ice (sparingly) Herons are able to use bodies of water as divining instruments. Dragons can breath underwater.
