The philosopher witch Teijia has unleashed a devastating weapon: a scorpion-god whose venom corrupts reality itself! As the world's edges crumble, the nomadic Stormraiders mount one last, desperate offensive to overthrow the Three Nations and claim a kingdom of their own.
This time, the sign of your god and a handful of allies won't be enough: to end the war and avert global destruction, you'll need an army! Establish your influence as a warlord, crime boss, or divine leader, then traverse oceans and deserts to find a weapon capable of stopping the Unconquerable Scorpion!
Old Friends and Enemies Return. Rekindle friendships, rivalries, or romances with Melaxu the nymph philosopher and Tamur the Desert Empire spy. But stay vigilant: the Stormraiders Galimar and Gisla have also returned. What will your sovereigns, King Hyras and the Desert Empress, require of you now?
New Heroes, New Threats. Recruit Col the satyr general and his young ward Clannath, a crow-woman cursed by the God of Rage. Secure territories across two nations and conspire to safeguard your followers. But be wary of the dark priests' ambitions—and those of the priests of Heaven, who still brand you a heretic and enemy of the gods!
The End of Philosophy? As King Hyras and Lord Vankred prepare for a final confrontation to conclude the Stormraider War, the witch Teijia releases her ultimate creation: the Emissary Beast Magdala, the Unconquerable Scorpion, whose venom can dismantle the very engines that sustain the World That Remains. What can possibly stop a being forged by the gods to be invincible?
