Synopsis

The Nameless Dwarf hires the rogue Nils Fargin to track the survivors of Arx Gravis, so he can tell the dwarves the curse of the Black Axe has been lifted and they are safe to return home.

The trail leads to the brigand town of Malfen, the gateway to Cerreth, the Land of Nightmare.

Nameless and Nils join forces with a shapeshifting assassin and a sorcerer under the sway of a dubious magical grimoire for the hazardous journey ahead.

Time is running out for the dwarves as ancient horror pursues them through the ever-changing dreamscape of Cerreth, and Nameless despairs of reaching them.

But a new hope awaits him in a city beneath the waves-if he can first survive the unstoppable evil that destroyed the dwarf lords of old.
