A new year, a new season, a new spring. Ice and snow begin to fade and give way to green grass and flowing rivers. The cold chill in the air becomes nothing but a swift bite to the unprepared. With spring comes not just a new year but new life, new adventures, and most importantly the chance to start anew. The mouse territories begin to awaken from their frigid torpor and stir among the budding changes of the new spring. Flowers bloom and bees buzz, insects return to their routines and the animals of the forest emerge from their hiding places.

The fortified wilderness stronghold of the Mouse Guard, Lockhaven, has suffered greatly over the winter. Short on food, medicine, and other necessary supplies the Guard has been dispatched as they have been able to make liason with the surrounding towns and villages. Though it is still dangerous with surging waters and snow-covered shadows among the treetops it is less so than the dead of winter.

Life in the Guard is difficult and not galmorous but serving the territories and preserving the scent boundary is key to keeping the mice safe. You have been chosen from among the best and brightest young mice to take up the cloak and mantle of the Guard and eventually become a Guardmouse in your own right. Though it is a dangerous life the excitement is palpable as you all head toward the assignment boards for the new spring. Your appointment was sudden but the need is dire.

Gwendolyn has summoned you, the tenderpaws of the winter, to her chambers to give you your first mission. Your Patrol Leader is to be The Black Axe, a legendary mouse among the Guard and quite literally a living legend in the territories. Even after hearing the assignments you all had to double and triple check it to make sure that you hadn't been wrong. An older mouse, Geram, who has lived and worked in Lockhaven most of his life chuckles as he begins pinning up another message on the board. "Young mice on the way to save the world eh? Don't be late to see Gwendolyn, if you are who are they going to put your cloak on?"
