30 years have passed since Galeon Promos' defeat of Xoria and the founding of Kormyrith. An uneasy peace has been brokered after years of war with Xoria in the disputed Burning Expanse. Galeon has secluded himself in his laboratory working on a secret project and Illyana Promos is now the defacto leader of the fledgling city-state. Galeon and Illyana'a sons Jadlon and Banner are groomed to take leadership positions in Kiron's powerful nation. Simmering anger and hatred grip both sides as Xoria's General Stexas and Illyana Promos sit down to meet at their annual summit. Both angle for an excuse for war and seek to obliterate their old enemies. Meanwhile an old mentor returns to Galeon. Just as magic and the battlemages seem irrelevant and obsolete, a terrible arcane threat surfaces from the depths of the abyss. Amidst the specter of renewed war with Xoria, Galeon and a small group of allies must travel to Hell to face the source of the threat, Satan's new high sorcerer, Ashlan Vylnaxx.
