The year is 1806, and the American frontier along the Appalachian Mountains is as wild as any place in the world. In that tangled network of hills and trails the people a dozen nations cross paths: rich landowners and poor hillfolk, Irish rebels and New York speculators, native tribes and African slaves. In the harshness of the mountains the stilted hierarchies of the East fall away, giving rise to a brutal, raw-boned meritocracy. It is a land where a hard woman is given more respect than a soft man, and where a bullet settles a dispute better than any lawyer.
Something has drawn you here, the lure of freedom or power or gold. A mysterious benefactor is offering an incredible bounty to anyone - anyone - who is willing to travel west to join a grand expedition that will reshape those wild lands forever.
It is in this place where you will find your fortune or die trying. High up in those green dark hills, dying is always an option.
