Valanthas is in chaos. While the tyrannical Paladin Order seeks to consolidate its control of the kingdom, several factions have banded together to defy their rule. The ambitious Lord Diojin has amassed an army of mercenaries and bandits, and, emboldened by the support of Valia and her demons, has been leading the fight back against the Order. However, impatient with the ongoing conflict and seeking to seize even greater power, the two allies have put a plan in motion that will bring a swift end to the conflict, but one that threatens catastrophic consequences. Ardon Forseld, living a quiet life as a craftsman on the island of Kalastar, believes he has put his adventuring days behind him. But while Ardon might have tried to forget, his friend Obdo has not, and he means to bring the old group back together for one last adventure.
