In the aftermath of war, the remnants of a fractured empire are now godless. To the east, the legendary general of Mustaton rebuilds his forces. To the south, the kingdom of Heron holds the last surviving member of the imperial family. To the west, the reclusive nation of Rivervalley takes advantage of the chaos to strike beyond its borders. And to the north, a minor kingdom, having stood neutral in the war, now commands one of the largest armies on the Continent. Freed from the shackles of worship, with no one to praise but themselves, which ruler will rise to claim the throne and the empire?
Whilst in the shadows, a greater threat exists. They have been biding their time, patiently sowing their influence throughout the land. And now they are ready to act.
