In the realm of Anteoth the wounds of war have yet to heal. The Elven wars have long since ended and the humans assistance has come with a price. The alliance between the races is strained as claims of debt create a constant hatred. But the ghosts of the past have come back to haunt the elven people as the Torrid clan rises again. Banished from their homeland, they seek to reclaim their birthright and call forth an ancient evil that sleeps within the pure heart of a priestess. The Ophaelic elves are not prepared for the slaughter that will come. Their only hope rests with the unlikely heroes of a guild known as Vengeance, a rare collaboration of humans and elves that lives in the human capitol of Thrane. The young Ophaelic priestess, Whistler, has come in search of aid, having suffered the shadow's torment at every turn. Her chance encounter with the guild's undead knight, Khordan, might be Anteoth's last chance for survival. Join Khordan and the members of Vengeance as they fight to drive back the Torrid threat and unite the races again. A shadow has fallen over the land and all are subject to her wrath. She is darkness. She is death. She is Rae.
