“
Just when you thought Realmspace-faring slavers were the worst thing that could cross your path, it quickly became apparent you were wrong—terrible things lurk in the depths of the long-dead Abeiran city of Xorvintroth. And when faces with countless, unfathomable horrors infesting an ancient city of a long-dead civilization from another world there's one solution...explosives.
