What activities do the Shadow Lords spend their lives in? The choice is small - wars, intrigues, love. The seething world of the three Great Kingdoms is engulfed in new anxieties, for the powerful forces of Order, Fate and Chaos know no pity for either their own or others. The Nirvans tried to weaken their competitors by throwing hordes of barbarians at them, but failed and were forced to intervene themselves in the carnage that engulfed all of the Reflections. Enchantment and technology collide on battlefields where success is ephemeral and victory does not end the war. The Great Kingdoms are drawn into the search for magical tools, without which it is impossible to restore the Patterns of Power destroyed by enemies. And now the goal of the endless struggle has become the Grail, guarded by hordes of evil demons.
