Firstborns

The group called the Firstborns heard the call of God and embarked on a journey to a land of peace and joy. But to get there, they must trek through dangerous terrain filled with bandits and marauders, whose only ambition was to steal and kill travelers. Furthermore, hot on their trail were the short, stout man and tall, thin man, their mortal and relentless enemies. They hired mercenaries to hunt them down and slaughter all men, women, and children. Not daunted, the Firstborns continued forward, their faith wholly in God, who had called them, and they met each undertaking and conflict inside and outside the group with courage.
