he passing of Beltaine traditionally signals the beginning of the raiding season in the Celtic lands. From Beltaine till Samhain, cattle roam summer pastures and roving bands of raiders ride free. Join us as we re-live the good old days of tribal kings and queens, cattle lords, feasts and famines, hostages, inter-clan alliances and family feuds.
The wolves of Magh Croimor are now stalking the raths and villages of Celtia. If you hear a howling in the hills, it may be more ominous than you think. This season is sworn to be a...SUMMER OF SORROW!

The scenario is early first-millenium Ireland. The stage has been set from the ending of last year's story...

The raiding season ended in the horrific battle of Dun Ailinn in the boglands to the south of Inver Colpa. The death of the Niafer war-chief Dobhar was finally avenged with the bloody demise of Hadaig the Night Raven under MacMorna's grisly battle hammer.
Flidais, Rian of Niafer, narrowly escaped her doom as a royal sacrifice at the hands of the evil druid Morann. At the peak of the chaotic battle, the outlaw chieftain Nion was apparently devoured by the bog, leaving the renegade band in the leadership of his young son Sean and his Telltown bride, a sidhe-woman known as Winter Mist.
Although the Rian was rescued and Hadaig was slain, there was no decisive victory in this battle. The summer ended with both sides limping home to lick their wounds, keen for their dead, and gather the survivors for what will surely be a SUMMER OF SORROW!

Choose your allies - the good, the bad or simply the ugly - and join us for another Summer of brawling, bragging, raiding and ravaging through the 'hoods of Celtia!
Where will the outlaws strike first?
Will the Niafers ride again as the legendary guardians of Tara?
What fresh twists and intrigues are in store for us all before Samhain calls another year's uneasy truce?
Are YOU strong enough to survive the Summer of Sorrow?
