The Raven Thief
Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.
• The Pot And The Kettle
The team praised Nero's actions passionately, letting out sighs of relief and grateful glances as they realized that they had survived yet another life threatening encounter.
However, Spheris noted that they had to move on and get out of the molten land before the heat eventually melted the ice. This was accepted in totality from the party as they wanted anything but to remain in that horrible place.
They began to move forward, hoping to put as much space as possible between them and the frozen path. Suddenly, a deep, resonant roar echoed through the landscape, a sound that seemed to shake the deepest core of the earth.
Instantly, they all turned towards the source of the noise.
In the distance was a looming mountain. Spheris felt his heart sink. He recognised that mountain, its peak wreathed in dark smoke.
