Synopsis

When a dwarf girl sleepwalks from her home in Arnoch and wanders barefoot into the Farfall Mountains, foul play is suspected. Reports come in of similar abductions all over Medryn-Tha, and the culprit is believed to be a bane of the Abyss, a monster known as the Lurker.

Not wishing to place any more of his people at risk, Arnoch's king, the Nameless Dwarf, insists on going after the missing girl by himself.

It is a decision he will live to regret... if he's lucky.
