Deities of Undeath, Blight, and Sorrow. Life, the Moons, and Shadow. By the axe... Deities at war is never a good sign.

As long as the mortal lives, however, it seems that the survival of Vallis will continue.

FOUR STORIES INTERSECT

The Forest Queen's vision granted Dymurin the name of a chosen mortal, taking him far to the north, yet in his absence an ancient evil stirs within the sacred forest.

Strange new faces appear at the Scurry Tuck Inn, and a new master takes to the dais. But is this new master amused, or deadly serious? It is Knorlite's responsibility to find out.

Corruption festers within the ranks of the Shadowclan. There are those that would put a blade in one of their own, and others that would betray the Grandmaster in secret. Though for Mohridin, his mind is fixated only on the soul he must send to The Abyss.

The Adjunct's mark draws Heyoko deep into the delirious touch of the black desert. Meanwhile, Khemics's pursuit of historic knowledge pulls him into a conflict of powers far larger — and far older - than he anticipated.

Every path is laden with uncertainty. And the scales upon which domination weighs are easily swayed into motion.

The Deities, forever observing, do not always act in silence…
