But since returning to the outside world, he has learnt that Hylore is not a man at all. Plaguing the city of Hallovale, Hylore has sunken his fangs into every corner of it, and terrorised its citizens to the point of societal collapse. Reluctantly defending them are the Ferrymen; a group of men and women from the neighbouring bay of Tharis Port, whose efforts to repel Hylore has so far achieved nothing. Caught up in the politics and warfare, Arkeous is about to find out that Hallovale about to enter its darkest era yet, and that there are more than just madmen lurking in its depths.
