A terrible thing has happened - the necromancer Taris Van Santi returned from oblivion and stood at the head of the dark shurds. Having found a new, much smarter and more powerful leader, the Shurdas left their ancestral nests in the snow-capped mountains and began a real war against all life in the Wild Lands. Human settlements are slaughtered and burned, innocent blood flows like a river, but this is not enough for the ancient Taris Necromancer - driven by any hatred, he is already looking forward to meeting his enemies. One of his blood and hated enemies is Baron Coris Van Iser, on whose settlement the necromancer who has risen from the dead has already turned his attention.
