Teijia, the philosopher witch, has unleashed a terrifying new weapon: a scorpion-god whose venom corrupts reality itself! As the worldʼs borders crumble, the nomadic Stormraiders mount one last, desperate assault to overthrow the Three Nations and claim a kingdom of their own.
This time, divine favor and a handful of allies won’t be enough—to end the war and prevent annihilation, you’ll need an army! Forge your identity as a warlord, crime lord, or divine champion. Journey across seas and deserts in search of a weapon capable of defeating the Unconquerable Scorpion!
Old Friends and Foes Return. Reconnect—or clash—with Melaxu, the nymph philosopher, and Tamur, the Desert Empire spy. But stay alert: the Stormraiders Galimar and Gisla have also returned. What will your sovereigns, King Hyras and the Desert Empress, require of you now?
New Allies, New Dangers. Enlist Col, the satyr general, and his young ward Clannath, a crow-woman afflicted by the God of Rage. Seize territory across two nations and maneuver to shield your followers. Yet watch for the schemes of the dark priests… and the priests of Heaven, who still view you as a heretic and an enemy of the gods!
The Downfall of Philosophy? While King Hyras and Lord Vankred prepare to settle the Stormraider War, the witch Teijia unleashes her ultimate creation: the Emissary Beast Magdala, the Unconquerable Scorpion, whose venom can shatter the structures that sustain the World That Remains. What hope is there against a being the gods designed to be invincible?
