exactly.
Ferdok isn't the capital of the Kosh. It's the old capital, yes, but meanwhile it lost this status to Angbar. It's still an important city, it's an important trade city lying at the banks of the great river (on of the most important travel lines of the middenrealms). But it's also suffering from the recession and the people are a little bit old-fashioned or conservative.
In Ferdok you get you're own mansion. This mansion is the hub. The rest of your companions are waiting there for you. But it seems, you get some customization options. Nothing in special, but as you follow the storyline you will collect some trophys.
You're starting at "Avestreu", a small village near Ferdok. Ferdok's gates are closed because of a mysterious series of murders. Your character has an appointment at Ferdok and so your journey begins.
In the meanwhile we were told, that Drakensang is the name of a mountain.
SPOILER!
In the beginning, you have to find two intercessors (advocates) who guarantee for your integrity. So you're starting doing some good things to the people of Avestreu. There you can also meet one of the first companions, an amazonian warrior. You're starting with some side quests and you're getting in touch with the bad guys for the first time.
When you enter the town to meet your friend (Ardo von Eberstamm, former regent of the Kosh). You'll find out that he was also an victim of the mysterious murderer. That's the next step in the storyline.
Maybe you know, that there is a print newsletter for the pen & paper game in Germany. It continues to report about the changes and development in the aventurian world. In the latest issues there have beeen reports about some mysterious artefacts related to dragons. Also there are rumours about a mysterious sect of dragon cultists (something bad). And of course a progress report about the building of the Hesinde church in Ferdok (The main quest needs a Hesinde church and Ferdok didn't have a Hesinde church until now. No problem, the creators of TDE reported that the Hesinde church is building a new dependance in Ferdok.
