The story begins immediately after the events of “Two Swords”. The hostilities between the Kingdom of Many Steles and Mithral Hall temporarily ceased and many wanderers appeared in the Moonlight Forest, each of them pursuing their own goals. The dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden and the moon elf Innovindil head to the Sword Coast to find the body of the tragically deceased Ellifain. Another drow, Tos'un Armgo, armed with the terrible blade of Khazid'ha, seeks a way to save himself. And numerous orcs, despite the news of the death of King Obould, demonstrate unprecedented unity, building new fortifications in the forest. Everyone has different goals, but everyone has the same path through the Moonlight Forest.
