Rat the Thief and Lux the Paladin were two adventurers from the City of Swords in the west. The unlikely duo came to know each other through a pickpocketing incident. Lux had just returned from a pilgrimage to the distant eastern lands when he caught a thief’s hand reaching into his pocket. Lux might have turned the thief over to the law to be tried for her crime. But he sensed that there was a spark and potential for both goodness and greatness in the young burglar. He not only freed Rat but offered his friendship.

I Killed Szass Tam
The Emerald Enclave has discovered a mystical oak in the Flooded Forest whose glowing hollows contain temporal rifts to the past. The druids of Cormanthor have unanimously agreed to seal the hollows and their rifts to prevent tampering with the natural order of the space time continuum. But a group of rebels challenging Szass Tam and the Red Wizards of Thay have other plans for the fortuitous discovery. Before the druids can close the portals, the rebels will send their bravest agents hurtling through space and time on a mission… to kill Szass Tam before he rises to power in Thay!
