Now is the time to tell the story of an ancient realm, a tragic tale that
sets the stage for all the tales yet to come and all those already
told...It's a conflicted time in Kurald Galain, the realm of Darkness,
where Mother Dark reigns. But this ancient land was once home to many a

Vatha Urusander, is being promoted by his followers to take Mother Dark's
hand in marriage, but her Consort, Lord Draconus, stands in the way of such
ambitions. The impending clash sends fissures throughout the realm, and as
the rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges
from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the First Sons
of Darkness, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake
