The giants match to war. The armies of the Storm Giant sweep across Varisia, unleashing the hordes of Belkzen and crushing all resistance in their path. Things look grim, as Janderhoff has fallen and Lastwall barely holds. Despite setbacks by a group of legendary heroes known as the "Heroes of Trunau", countless giants still flock to the banner of the Storm Tyrant.
Things have become far worse as the giants have acquired a new and powerful weapon, some magical capability that allows them to open temporary portals behind enemy lines. Thus elite troops of giants and their allies may strike where they will, avoiding walls and gates. The first use of this power was used to tip the battle of Janderhoff decisively in their favor.
You have determined that the culprit behind these attacks is none other than the fire giant king Tytarian Branderik, lieutenant to the Storm Tyrant and unifier of the fire giant tribes under a single banner. Furthermore, it has become clear that Tytarian is somehow sheltering the Storm Tyrant while he prepares a secret weapon which shall no doubt spell the doom for the small folk of Varisia, and likely Golarion.
You are one of the four heroes of Trunau, and the only hope standing between the giant tide and all Varisia. You, and your trusted companions.
You will begin in your hometown of Trunau, in the calm before the storm. There isn't much time left, so you'd better make the best use of it you can.
So grit your teeth, fasten your boots, and get ready for Giantslayer Book 5: the Anvil of Fire.
