Meanwhile, a restless and vile taint seeks a vessel to dominate-a living corruption spawned from the conflict between the three imprisoned deities: Sarik, Ethoni, and Deimar. This taint finds such a vessel in Seneschal Dean-second in command of the human armies of Lorenth, led by the noble priest-king, Arimas.
Age-old prophecies entwine around events leading to the beginning of the time of silence-the time when the Tear of Deimar made its call, searching for the promised Lightbringer who must eventually stand to face the Seed of Corruption and right the balance of Caliyon for good. An unlikely combination of warriors unites to defeat the mysterious threat.
