The balance of power between the mighty Tero’zar, the former guardians of creation, and the human population is shifting, and conflicts are sprouting like mushrooms.

What role will the former world capital of Terovania play in the power structure of Pentaquin?

As a devoted follower of the Light God Mage Circle, your father already gave his life in battle. Will your sister continue his attempt to free the world from the supposed tyranny of the other circles, or can you bring her to reason in time and save her from your father's dark fate? A dark adventure between the abysses of light and shadow awaits you!
