The lands of Cothique possess a wild beauty. Compared to many other kingdoms of Ulthuan, they are windy and untamed. In ancient times, these lands were threatened by Norse raiders and dark Elves, but the creation of the Shifting Isles prevents hostile naval forces from sailing to the shores of Cothique. Freed from obvious dangers, the nobles of Cothique indulge in intrigues and temptations, allowing hidden threats to invade the neglected corners of their orderly kingdom. Agents of Chaos and the Terror of the King of Naggaroth create unrest and pave the way for a future conquest of the Realm.
