Kaot is a world filled with magical horrors and wonders crafted by the first generation of gods. The continent of Arken has been unreachable by outsiders until now. Ships that attempted to approach its shores only drew close enough to see that a landmass was present before unnatural circumstances destroyed or disappeared them. Sovereign Liannon, ruler of the Socranian Empire, has called for able-bodied citizens to aid in settling this new land in exchange for promises of forgiven crimes and parcels of land and power. What awaits, however, will change the world--and its magic--forever.
