In a world long against magic, they meet a mysterious half-elf that knows of their secrets and offers help against those that hunt them. But an old evil is awakening.

The western lands tremble. The city of Eh-Rin is under siege and with the nearing eclipse of the moon, the powerful spells protecting the ancient city will fail. The legions of the Grand Protectorate ready their forces to smite the very place that stands as the last beacon of hope in a darkening world. In a desperate assault to save Eh-Rin, Kealin and his companions draw upon the power of death magic and unleash a horde of their own in a final attempt to defeat the enemy that has already claimed two elven kingdoms.

His conquest was for his ancestors. His glory was within grasp. His failure has left all of his companions dead. They say that the race of men took that which belonged to the dwarves.

For obvious reasons and for not-so-obvious reasons that most others in Ikinidor don't know. Now with a ranger and his apprentice needing their help, he'll have to reveal such truths from his own past. This is also ignoring the truth that the rangers stole something from the elves and now the apprentice appears to have some strange dark curse. A curse that could signal something worse at work in the world. One thing is for ...
