Philosopher witch Teijia unleashes a terrifying new weapon: a scorpion-god whose venomous touch unravels reality itself. As the world teeters on the brink of collapse, the Stormraiders make their final, desperate bid for power. This time, you'll need more than faith and friends; you'll need an army.

Rise as a warlord, crime boss, or divine leader. Traverse oceans and deserts to discover the weapon capable of defeating the Unconquerable Scorpion.

Reunite with old friends and foes: Melaxu, the nymph philosopher; Tamur, the Desert Empire spy; and the formidable Stormraiders, Galimar and Gisla. Face the demands of King Hyras and the Desert Empress.

Recruit new heroes, confront new threats. Enlist Col, the satyr general, and his ward, Clannath, a crow-woman cursed by the God of Rage. Expand your territory, protect your followers, and beware the machinations of both dark and heavenly priests who see you as a heretic.

King Hyras and Lord Vankred clash in a final showdown, but Teijia's ultimate weapon—the Emissary Beast Magdala—threatens to destroy the very foundations of existence. Can anything stop a creature designed to be unstoppable?

Return to the World That Remains and forge your own path.
