The story so far...

"Long ago, The Great King Argwen rose to create the kingdom of Foralia. Centuries later, treachery waits in the shadows, preparing to strike and take the throne."

Brelak, an ancient Shaman of Argwen's time, arrives at the young Queen Mylia's castle warning her of a darkness growing to the east. In the process of using magic to determine more, they unintentionally wake the threat they had been sensing... Rhysza.

The mad Rhysza has been asleep in her cave to the far east for over 150 years. Her mind has twisted and is filled with hatred, having been objected to years of mental abuse in her living years - for she had been blessed with the power to speak to the dead - a whisperer who was scorned for her ability all those many years ago. 

Today she embodies the wrath of a woman scorned as she descends upon an unsuspecting realm, bringing death to all who stand in her way using ancient magic nobody has practiced for centuries.

Mylia has sent her knights to learn more of this threat, while unaware that, Ograd and Korsak - her cousins in the Flatlands to the east - conspire against their Queen and are recruiting necori to worship the Old Gods and re-enact the less than wholesome practices of the Old Ways.

Will the knights learn the truth about Rhysza and survive the process? Will they return in time to warn their queen? How can the living possibly fight Rhysza?

And what of Ograd and Korsak? Will they rise to overthrow the young queen, and will anyone see them coming?
