 In the deserts of Ashar, shamans whisper of the dark days to come. The sands are shifting, spurred by the rise of a living deity. His ambition knows no bounds. He is hungry, the winds say. He fancies himself the harbinger of an era to come.
An era he wants to create in his own image...
Across the border, in the land of Feragh, petty noble houses fight for the scraps of a decaying country. They bicker and wage small wars-- all running unchecked by the increasingly powerless royal house. Wise men say that times like these are always preludes to times of bloodshed and war.
