Darkness stirs in the green woods of Faloria. From the autumn shadows, murderous Goblins begin to emerge, eager for blood and plunder. At the southern border, scheming Gnomes plot incursions into human territory. These developments seem grave enough indeed for Falorians Jay and Rook. But they are trifling compared to the turmoil brewing to the east beyond the mountains, a state of affairs the two young men know nothing about. Yet. For over three hundred years, the Destroyer and his minions of Darkness have lain dormant. Now, at long last, the time has come for the Shadow to reclaim dominion over all of Aduin. Jay and Rook will be swept into the coming storm of events in ways few could ever have fathomed. Together, they stand on the precipice of a maelstrom of magic, monsters, mages, and much more. They must follow the path that is their destiny.
