Direwolf skeletons lie arranged in precise geometric patterns, the bones gleaming white against snow and clearly meant to be discovered. This isn't just trap. It's message. Thornhaven knows they're coming and has prepared accordingly, using the remains of previous Direwolf assault forces to create defenses that will kill anyone who tries to cross.

He looked around, finally noticing the unfamiliar surrounding. "What the hell?"
