The Fate of Umdaar (1/5)
We meet rebellious Princess Zenobia on the run from her father, a sinister Master of Umdaar, and her friend and protector the watchful Mutawarrior Zhevra Rider, ‘Victory Through Perseverance’. Coincidence brings them to the same Dustball tavern as Lars Gloomfall, the Remorseful Dragonfolk Runesmith, who is bringing terrible news to his friend Thorian, the Warrior Scholar of the Psyker Rad-folk. The door bursts open and … chaos, a tavern full of big blokes, the kick of a Zhevra, and a frightened trader called Witcha. Then … rumours of the Hammer of the Beasts of Umdaar, the Pit of Pain, a successful con … and sudden suspicions …

‘Vikki’ the Mutawarrior leads Princess Zenobia through the tunnels of the Pit of Pain but has to leave her Zhevra lest it attract the attention of Thorian the Warrior-Scholar and Elementalist Lars Gloomfall, who they do not trust …

Fate of Umdaar (3/5)
As the Champions of Umdaar head North in search of the Cudgelord, Thorian the Warrior-Scholar of the Rad-Folk must guide their climb from the deserts of Dustball up to the Temperate Plains. Only the swift action of Victory, the Watchful Mutawarrior, and her Zhevra mount, stop Princess Zenobia from falling to her death. Above the cliff Lars, the Remorseful Dragonfolk Runesmith, leads the Champions into the camp of the Exiled Marmots of the Tundra, who are building a monument to their ‘lost god’ … Aquata. There’s heated theological debate, tough moral questions are asked, and Zenobia answers them so that a priesthood teeters … then there’s an icy crevasse, surprise attack and … the Husks of the Cudgelord …

Fate of Umdaar (4/5)
With Thorian of the Rad-folk rendered incorporeal by the frigid icequake tundra, it is left to a Rebellious Scion of a Master, a Watchful Mutaworrior Zhefra Rider, and a Remorseful Dragonfolk Runesmith to retrieve the Hammer of the Beast of Umdaar! There’s an iceworm, an audience chamber and the dramatic confluence of the two. Then … statues become missiles; a dangerously deceptive approach is adopted; and an aspect of the Hammer is revealed before … a bully is sent running …

A Prodigal Daughter Returning with a Vengeance, Princess Zenobia, helps disguise a Zhevra as something less dangerous, so that the Watchful Mutawarrior, ‘Victory through Perseverance’ has more chance of entering the city of the Ascendant Castle unnoticed with Lars the Remorseful Dragonfolk Runesmith pretending to be a travelling tinkerer. Thorian, the warrior Scholar of the Rad-Folk provides Victory with a model of how not to be a Mutawarrior. There’s a disloyal Gallow Knight, Castle Servants willing to help a Princess, A Wall of Winds preventing aerial attacks, and some suspicion the bi-monthly ‘Ascenency Lottery’ may not be entirely fair.
Then … a Festival of Ascendancy, the back stairs to Ghoulian Gallowglass’ apartments, the innocent clothier’s daughter, and a confrontation that brings everyone’s loose ends together into an explosive cliffhanger …
