'''New Moon Rising'''
<br /><br />
For the first time in thousands of years, the lost land of Knorr feels the tread of its former rulers. The Empyreans have returned to Auberean. They return to a world much changed.

As the Empyreans learned to find common cause with the Humans, Tumeroks, and Lugians, another unexpected ally arrives. An old foe from the Humans' earliest settlements emerged from the darkness.

<br /><br />
The Blazing Drudge festival, however, is not the only new light in the night sky. Nor are the Empyreans the only ones that have returned from a long exile&hellip;
