Seth Benturu’s bride is dead, felled by his own hand
With the Wizard’s Circle broken, darkness falls across the land
The dwarves prepare to go to war; the madness takes its toll
Camanthalar is almost gone - can Damus save his soul?

Plots within plots, schemes within schemes,
See the mighty gather, not all is seen in dreams.

Missing priesthoods work as one to capture mighty Grock
The Druids’ power is waning, yet the trollkin they must block
Far beneath the Deeplands, the illithid do not wait
The deeprock crystals speak as one, for some it is too late

Plots within plots, schemes within schemes,
See the mighty gather; listen to their screams.

The Empire’s hold is slipping, the illithid double-cross
But do the Kor-ter-kath themselves know who’s truly boss?
From all the lands the mighty meet upon the mountain top
A gathering like none before - can they the darkness stop?

Plots within plots, schemes within schemes,
See the mighty gather, nothing is as it seems.
