At the very north of this four-cornered world lies the impregnable Dungeon of the Dead, so-called because naught but death awaits those who enter within. At least, not until that challenge is met by a certain party of adventurers, six men and women who would one day be called “Heroes”... With this volume, the ashen tale of their youth begins!

Six adventurers, brought together by chance, now descend into the Dungeon of the Dead as a party for the very first time. In this strange place, unbound by natural law and inimical to human life, the slightest mistake can mean death for them all. They will have to cover for one another’s weaknesses and tap hidden strengths to survive this expedition, but their fates ultimately depend on the capricious rolls of the dice...
