Episode 1: Clanging of the Mine Bell

When a massive caravan bearing the official seals of the Zhulmar Deep Council winds its way up the glacial switchbacks into the remote mountain settlement of Hatfield, the town's fragile sense of routine shatters in an instant.

For Seldiesal Sol-astra — healer, exile, and keeper of quiet secrets — the sight of Adjudicator's banners on the surface can only mean one thing: the past has come collecting. As the ancient Judgment Bell rings for the first time in living memory, she pulls her children close and braces for the avalanche.

In this premiere episode, we meet a community built on the margins — exiles, miners, and surface-dwellers living in the long shadow of the deep kingdom's authority. When a lone dwarf steps out of the shadows to meet his fate with quiet dignity, every resident of Hatfield must reckon with what the Weight of Law means for those who have always lived just beyond its reach.
