Synopsis

Two stirrings of the wild open this volume. In the continent of Chandrar, wildlife and monsters have been driven from their homes by intruders, and the Empire of Tiqr wakes under Nsiia, the Empress of Beasts. Far from there, the dungeon beneath Liscor moves, and a certain skeleton keeps helping friends and enemies alike in the only way he knows.

In Liscor itself, an election is about to give the city a new set of leaders. Whether that turns out well or badly is left open.

The consequences of careless actions spread outward, through politics and through small, personal moments. Amid the unrest, the characters still look for pleasure where they can find it, whether they are a skeleton, a Fraerling or an [Innkeeper]. Something is following them, though, and when it catches up, nothing will be the same.

The threats come from several directions: a Grand Elephant on the warpath, the schemes of the undead, and the moves of the Titan. This is a fantasy with a large cast across more than one setting, mixing political tension and monster trouble with moments of warmth and humour for its characters.
