It was the time of the god wars, when the ancient deities fought for power and the right to rule. With their neglect, the fires of chaos were free to ravage the lands of Kohr, unhindered. From the shadowy recesses of the turmoil, came Valen Dreckmoore, Grand Blade Master of Kohr and keeper of the lost Shadow Magic. With The Dread Lord possessing Darconnen finally subdued, Trydus Kalenthos is ensnared by Valen and compelled to recover an ancient item of significant power. Meanwhile, Artis Nemendes continues to march to Korah to wage war with the mighty Blade Master army at his back. Khellaran must then liberate himself and Kryssanna from the dungeons of the Emperor of Korah to assist Artis with the coming battle. Adreana, The Princess of Dragons, ultimately teams up with the resistance to try and stop Valen Dreckmoore from his most horrifying plan yet - to draw the world of Kohr within the very Shadow Realm itself.
