The world of Faerun is home to ancient terrors and legendary heroes, most of which have passed into oblivion. The time of heroes is over, as warring city-states merge into warring nations and the the world gets smaller day by day. In the midst of the constant power plays this new era has brought, a fugitive from the depths has crept unnoticed. Returning to finish what he started 2 centuries ago, his egomaniacal foolishness could plunge the world once again into the darkness of the Dawning Times- this time without the legendary saviors it once had. His name is Orpheus Cil, and he will do anything to prove himself worthy of legend.
