On breaking and entering a bank to rob, they find the coffers empty and that they are surrounded by soldiers of the new Empire hunting them. As they defend their position, they fight back the soldiers but Scian is seriously injured and the soldiers try a new tactic to smoke them out of the bank. They manage to escape but Scian’s condition is deteriorating and they have picked up a tail from the town. After searching for herbs to heal Scian’s wound they return to find a man standing over her. He’s called Callan and with his butcher blades is known as Brother Death. He has no love for the new army of the Golden Empire and joins them in their quest. Telling them of a healer, Zacare, in the Marsh of the Mists who can aid Scian the band of three becomes four. Meanwhile, a young dwarf named Meldof, with her trustee war hammer named Gwen is on a mission to track down an army sergeant, Talysome The One Eye, who has been using and abusing other female dwarves. Meldof and Gwen catch up with Talysome who loses more than his other eye. In Xin’trea the puppet Empress Merwyn plots to retake control away from Balor. She enlists the Mage Avallah to be her protector after he saved her from an assassination attempt, and also to be her eyes and ears around court. Heading out into the city under disguise, Merwyn discovers some juicy information on Captain Eredin that she uses to offer him a proposal to overthrow Balor. Elsewhere, still insecure about his low born status, Balor returns to the power within the Monolith with two child sacrifices. But the energy that Balor is given is only fleeting, a mere taste of the chaos magic. He is told by the force that to truly obtain the full power of this magic will require true sacrifice not tokens. Eile, Fjall, Callan arrive at the healer’s with Scian where she is healed to full health. While there they also discover the mage Syndril, who managed to escape his imprisonment at the hands of Balor by using the Monoliths to travel between different points across the Continent. The group realise they can enter the palace at Xin’trea and destroy the master Monolith by travelling between the Monoliths. The band of four becomes six. As they use the monolith to transport to Xin’trea things do not go as smoothly as they had hoped. The band are confused as to why there are now two moons in the sky, and why a beautiful aquatic flower is in fact a fierce monster chasing them down.
