And Pug will face his old nemesis, the evil wizard formerly known as Sidi, now Leso Varen, in a confrontation with everything at stake: his honor, his life, and the future of Midkemia. That’s not to insurance claim there are no first concepts. Though they are untrained and unready, the brothers will join the powerful, mysterious Conclave to confront Midkemia’s most looming evil yet-the Nighthawks, assassins feared throughout the centuries. It allows you to focus additional on the individualities along with the story along with much less on trying to identify some weird system of magic, physics, greenery, pets, and/or belief.

Meanwhile, in a small town on the other side of Midkemia, two young brothers are coming of age. Disturbed by his dream, Pug calls for a convening of the Conclave of Shadows.
