Talos is a dead world. When the Harvestwind was unleashed over a hundred years ago, the necromantic storm killed most of the living creatures across the face of the world. In its wake the dead then rose again and returned to an undead semblance of their former lives. The whole fabric of society was irrevocably changed, but it endured, until now. Something has begun to go wrong at the White Tower, the spire of creation that determines the fate of the world. By the order of the Warden of the White Tower, a contingent of some of the most capable and fearless undead knights, mages and specialists in the realms have been tasked with tracking down the source of the threat to the tower and putting an end to it.
