Snow has been falling on the mountain passes for several days, and the Dog’s Pass leading to the neighboring kingdom is blocked. The adventurers are forced to spend the night in the vale while waiting for the snow to melt. They are on their way to the city of Ironstay, capital of the neighboring duchy. Bustling at this time of year, the new Queen Eleanor I, heiress of Isolde I, spends the winter there with her court. A famous festival is held to welcome her, promising work for adventurers.
No one in the group knows the valley; it would be wise to stop at the inn to meet the locals and find a bed for the night.

A century ago, King Gundomar I couldn't choose between his twin daughters. As he was about to place the crown on one head or the other, he chose to divide the realm between them instead. To protect their new kingdoms, the sisters purged their bloodline, slaughtering anyone with a claim to the throne.

Now, civil war is brewing again, and unbeknownst to the party, one of your players is a hidden descendant of Gundomar I.
