Long ago, at the end of the Great War, the Voltaris were outnumbered. The war had gone on for far too long and the Nether Armada had abandoned them. Their only choice was to erect an obsidian portal for their leader, Ingressus - one that led not to another place, but another time. The portal was intended to only travel one hundred and fifty-four years into the future. But when the Deathsinger emerged, he learned that he had gone forward by one thousand and fifty-four years. Achillean Nestoris followed Ingressus through the portal. It was his goal to ensure that the Deathsinger never collected the four Prime Songs, and he failed. Now that the portal had stripped both of them of their Songs, the Tidesinger had the opportunity to succeed in his mission. But navigating this new version of Ardonia would soon prove to be... difficult.
