Spiralling into Chaos

In the years after Islena Doraux vanquishes Myrhia on the ramparts atop Castle Kammlogran, the Antiquated Land gropes its way toward healing and recovery. Yet, on every horizon, deepening shadows gather. On every tongue, whispers of disquiet foretell the approach of a new and terrifying era of darkness...of familiar ghosts and new menaces that will send the beleaguered world spiralling into chaos. In Emercia, an aging King Artumas has returned to the throne, secure in the belief that the inured Myrhia will pose no further threat to his realm and the day may not be long in coming when he will finally be granted the eternal peace his recurring lives have long denied him. As the years pass, he finds his kingdom increasingly beset by chaos...the source of which appears to be the very woman he believed was incarcerated in the prison of her own petrified flesh. The Eastern Continent's tentative peace is further shattered when Sygeanor usurps control in Metocan and begins a vengeance-fueled campaign of cleansing against the fledgling nation of Lamia...all to sate her immutable hatred of that country's conflicted queen, the immortal Lorio. The Antiquated Lands' woe is further exacerbated when the Sisters of Esotaria, a female order of warriors and battle mages from a previously unknown land across the ocean, appear in Emercia, offering their aid in preventing Myrhia's return. In the desert continent of Majeer, a mad prophet prepares to unleash his massive armies upon the Eastern Continent with a mind to claiming it for his false deity. Embattled on all sides, King Artumas and his allies prepare to face this rising tide of darkness...though he soon begins to fear that his newfound allies from across the ocean may pose the greatest threat of all to the Antiquated Lands' future.
