A new threat rises… Something has broken through the veil that separates the world of Fiara from the Demon Realm. Following an influx of demons being let loose by an unknown event, the Highmark is in upheaval. Trolls pour down the mountains, driven from their ancestral homes, and lay waste to the cities and settlements of the Highmark and the Dwarven lands.

Will these new powers be an ally or an enemy to you? Where some see only danger, the clever mage spots an opportunity. Find a way to tame the troll hordes and bring them under your command, ally yourself with demons and profit from their vast powers – if you are willing to pay the price. Alternatively push back against the emerging threat and gain the respect of not only the people of the realm, but also your fellow mages. Whatever you choose, the path will be fraught with danger.
