The Selenian Old Gods were defeated in Tunca, and now their prime dealer in weapons and equipment for their zealots is on the run. It’s the perfect opportunity for Arcona to take back some of the initiative against their more domestic foe. At the same time, the Shadow Clan sought out allies among the native Selenians brings back familiar faces from Tunca and elsewhere among the endless oceans of the planet. But this wasn’t merely to reduce the number of enemies for Arcona. It was also a means of drawing out information. Information on where they could find the next god and their caxqette pets.

Tekpantli, a tiny island even smaller than the resort-bearing Atolli, was tracked down from among the legends of a mysterious island guarded by all manner of storms and fantastical beasts. An island that no one — Selenian or offworlder — had ventured to and returned. So of course, that was where the Shadow Lord set Arcona’s sight next. But not all is as it appears, and it turns out that not all gods sleep quite the same, nor are their thralls all the religiously violent zealots that have been faced thus far.

Much is happening. The hunt for caxqettes and gods on Tekpantli, the strengthening of alliances in Tunca, and all bringing the chutzpah of the Dajorran Defense Forces to bear alongside their Citadel commanders. It is up to the members of Arcona what happens next.
