The Wellish Overlords have shattered their ancient prison and torn the Steppes apart, raising new mountains in their fury. Desh Krohan watches his council of wizards splinter as one of Fellein's most powerful sorcerers joins the enemy. The Overlords have created the War-Born, savage shapechangers who hunt and devour everything in their path with endless hunger. These nightmares sweep across the empire while the Sa'ba Taalor ready themselves for the coming clash. The gods themselves descend into the conflict, choosing sides as old alliances crumble. Desh finds himself forced to battle former allies while the Overlords execute their grand design. The Children of the Forges bring their wrath against enemies who dare challenge divine power. This final confrontation will reshape the Fellein Empire forever, if anything survives the carnage.
