Roman rule has ended in Britannia, and the country is divided into quarreling petty kingdoms which are in conflict with each-other as much as they are with the Saxon invaders. The once magnificent provincial capital of Londinium has been abandoned and is surrounded by Saxon lands, though the Saxons themselves, it is said, fear to inhabit the city.
The heroes are highly placed and trusted retainers of King Einion of Ebrauc, whose only son is critically ill, and, it is believed, cursed. They have heard tell that Londinium is the hiding place of the Cauldron of Dirrnach, one of the Thirteen Treasures of Britain, and famed for it’s healing powers. Can the heroes retrieve it and help the king’s son?
