An Aasimar, two Half Elves, and a Marleek join the Unnamed Guild under the leadership of a Dwarf named Drosko. They gather outside the city of Valtaska on the peninsula of Tanaviak to receive a mission from the High King — one that will take them across the peninsula and far beyond as they contend with the Sand Cult and its mysterious plan to bring about the end of the world. Kings, nobles, cultists, giant flying fire whales, and the Embodied Gods all lie somewhere ahead.
