The soul stealer has risen and the fate of the infant Lightbringer now hangs in the balance. The human race finds itself oppressed by the former Lorenthian seneschal as his powers grow into the realm of necromancy. Skeletal hordes, soul bound revenants, ghasts, wights, and even bone dragons heed the call of the soul stealer as his minions strike fear into the hearts of human and fae alike. Even hope becomes threatened as the fae races remain indecisive about how to act in response to the prophecies of old. Yet hope is not lost... the infant Lightbringer must live to stand against the evil that rages across the land, even as the balance of creation begins to shift. Some of the fae have chosen to indulge themselves in the human emotions of hope as the light of prophecy begins to illuminate the answer to the dilemma of the soul stealer. Yet is this new enlightenment really the only course of action left to the living races of Caliyon? Some fear the cost of victory may be too high a price to pay...
