The Winter's Eight

Ambassadors of the Ordening

Neverwinter City Watch

Roaringhorn Estate

**The Winter's Eight** is the current strongest group of adventurers during the year **1485 DR**. The group was originally created to investigate their group kidnapping, and stop the evils within Neverwinter. However, they would expand their efforts eventually to all of Faerûn. The names comes from the combination of their origins in Neverwinter as well as the number of members at a single time. They would not decide on a name until entering the Ruby Phoenix Tournament.

## Location

The original location of The Winter's Eight headquarters was within Neverwinter, on an estate granted to them by Talros Greystone. This would be where the group would head their expeditions and adventures from for a majority of their career. After successfully repelling Iymrith and returning balance to the Giants, they would move to the Eye of the All-Father in order to build an Embassy there.

The Eye is currently equipped with many different buildings that have slowly been put into place there. These include things such as a Barracks, Treasury, Libraries, Craftsman stations, and their own mining system. The keep holds fifty soldiers to protect it, along with a handful of Storm Giants that were granted to them by King Hekaton to provide protection during Giant gatherings. Following the destruction of Neverwinter and the convergence of the Planes, the Eye would also come to hold many refugees that have come from the outlying towns.
