The journey goes dark. 

 

For where there was war, there was always death. And death meant life for the Lord of Nundric. 

 

In the bowels of Parthaleon, Sorcerian's power grows. Every soul on which he feeds increases his strength, and with war on the cusp of waging in the west, the anticipation of his servants is growing.

 

Meanwhile, Lucian's journey to Medric has been stopped. In the forest of Ravelon, a Fairy battalion has separated the companions, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Didrebelle has run off in pursuit of Gamarea, but will he reach him in time? What fate will meet Lucian, trapped within the clutch of the Matarhim? Indeed the heroes' paths delve deeper into darkness, as new foes emerge to thwart them, and new friends fight to gain a foothold in the quest. Friends from the most unlikeliest of place. And darkest.
