Telgora remains bathed in blood and smoke. The longer the country’s civil war continues, the more vipers and vultures appear from the gloom—each eager for whatever scrap of flesh or treasure they can take for themselves. Against them stand those who believe in a future free from bloodshed, darkness, and destruction. But they too will fight if they are to win. The question remains: who will join them? As politicians, generals, revolutionaries, and every citizens claw and snap their way towards any advantage in any theatre, who still remembers the once proud promise of the now desolate River Federation? For who in Telgora would still fight for anything resembling A House United?

From the palaces of crumbling empires to shady halls of power, from the farthest reaches of raging seas to the narrowest alleys of ruined cities, the people of Telgora know that the time to pick a side has arrived. Return to a land of magic powered by fear, where biplanes duel dragons in the sky and politicians treat with revolutionaries in the ashes of a country they once professed to love for the beginning of the end and decide once and for all where you, too, stand.

Freedom or control?
