Welcome to Tor, a land of ancient magic, sleepy towns, and whispered legends. Life has always been simple—until now.
Strange things have been happening across the realm:
• Travelers speak of creatures never before seen, roaming the forests and skies…
• Entire villages report strange curses, spreading like wildfire without explanation…
• And in the darkest corners of the land, the dead are beginning to rise.
In the bustling town of Greybend, four strangers meet in a tavern for their very first mission.
Their task? Help sweet Old Lady Nessa with a rat problem in her cellar.
But what begins as a small job quickly spirals into something far greater—and far more dangerous—than anyone could have expected.
