A World on Fire

The Emberfall Ruins

Three hundred years ago the Order sealed Kaldrath, the first and last Ember King, beneath the ash of the Reach. Now a cult feeds the old seal, a forge builds monsters on its own, and the drowned walk the marsh.

Begin in the village of Harrowfen, defend Vellmoor Glen from wolves, bandits and revenants, then follow the caravan into the Ashen Reach — where the Crown is waiting for you.
