Kandon Winterheart fears they will run out of wood. Riley Weston cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

The Flood

A flood has covered hundreds of miles, leaving nothing but a small village that was built upon the top of a great hill. Settlers from flooded towns are seeking refuge, but there's not enough supplies to go around, and some refugees and plotting to take over.

Adrian Arrias thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.
