The shadow of Deofol still looms over Vigil. Samael has fallen, but this actions have forever scarred the foundation of the realms. His surviving minions are scattered and hidden, plotting evil. Yet, even as the vigil gathers itself against this remaining enemy, it is beset by a new darkness. Specters now haunt the people of the land, their arrival hinting at a greater threat.
The visitors from Arha say that the afterlife itself is in turmoil. Gatekeeper Kythis, who since Time’s Dawn had admitted the damned to their final resting place, stands watch no more. Now, a restless and tormented mass of wills churns beneath all existence, welling up between the worlds.
Where is the Gatekeeper? It was Samael that freed Kythis of his duty. Now he is missing, a rebel godling hidden even from his creators, and not eager to return to his eternal task. In the skies, the constellations twist and turn, protesting his absence.

The children in the capital dream restlessly of an endless beast, outpouring from the cloud, large enough to cast a shadow over all the land. They describe a sky serpent that bellows in a million voices, an extinguisher of realms. Cultists and fanatics are again making sacrifice, foretelling that a reckoning will come. They call it the Storm of Souls
Vigil is overrun by the first winds of this coming storm of undeath. The call again rises for a hero to unite the realms against the many forces that seek to bury everything in despair. The cult must be put down. Samael’s remnants must be destroyed before they encroach. The ghostly tide must be quelled, and the forces of all the worlds must from a coalition, before the reckoning arrives.
The storm looms. Who among you will stand before it?
