The Brood

In the murky swamps of the south the Brood Mere has spent centuries watching the development of her children. Now they find
themselves at war, drawn into a conflict she has long planned but could never prepare for: The Creator Gods have returned, and
they have come to bring death to her offspring. Already the Forked-Tongue River is choked with the corpses of her children and
the Creator Gods a like, and yet it there seems to be no end to the waves of invaders pouring in from the north. Ever planning,
however, the Brood Mere readies her children to cross into the Greenbelt in force- to strike against the heart of the adversaries
that would destroy them.
She has seen the face of her gods and with her children she has renounced them. The Creator Gods seek only their death, and
so they shall return the threat in kind.
