Something is amiss in the kingdom of Lorenth. During one of the
expansion missions, the humans determine they are no longer alone
in the world as they once thought. In fact, the men are viciously
attacked by the elves of IlluDar. Sentient, magically adept
dragons, dwarves, elemental races, treants, dryads, sprites, ice
elves, and woodland elves compose the fae races that for
generations have lived in a silent pact with the humans, never
revealing their presence until the humans breached their borders.
Meanwhile, a restless and vile taint seeks a vessel to dominate-a
living corruption spawned from the conflict between the three
imprisoned deities: Sarik, Ethoni, and Deimar. This taint finds
such a vessel in Seneschal Dean-second in command of the human
armies of Lorenth, led by the noble priest-king, Arimas. Age-old
prophecies entwine around events leading to the beginning of the
time of silence-the time when the Tear of Deimar made its call,
searching for the promised Lightbringer who must eventually stand
to face the Seed of Corruption and right the balance of Caliyon for
good. An unlikely combination of warriors unites to defeat the
mysterious threat.
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...
