Chinis, an ancient and proud people inhabiting the Sulfur Mountains, is now in decline. The weakness of the new Sovereign and unrest are tearing the country apart. While appanage princes fight among themselves for allotments during the day, the night belongs to thieves, marauders, murderers and those whom they try not to mention even in daylight. The apogee of the protracted internecine war promises to be truly spectacular and bloody. Thousands of eyes from the abyss peer into the unfolding grotesque spectacle of human stupidity, greed and pride. When everything comes to its logical conclusion, regardless of who wins, a legendary feast awaits the vultures.
