Darksteel Destinies

Daedus is an exp-priest turned soldier. For a decade he has led the dwindling Markan IVth Cohort across the Frostmarches as Praefect and fought against the barbaric hordes of the Augur Potentates. An Imperial Courier arrives unexpectedly, bearing orders to return to the capitol at once. Upon their return, it quickly becomes clear someone in the Markan Senate is setting the stage for a coup and Daedus and his men are pawns in this power struggle. Their situation further worsens with the arrival of Adzutucoatl, a tattooed emissary from the distant jungles of a nearly forgotten land: Mictlan. He has come to Marka bearing rare gifts in exchange for troops to wage war against enemies every bit as powerful as the Augur Potentates. Intrigued by the developments within the capitol, Adzutucoatl takes a powerful interest in Daedus and the IVth and arranges a meeting upon his ship. What transpires sets into motion events that lead Daedus and his stalwart companions on an epic journey into the heart of darkness. Here they must conquer the treachery of sorcerers and the unforgiving nature of their new environment. Only then will they come face to face with the true nature of their mission: to face the wrath of a vengeful demi-goddess intent on breaking free of her earthly prison and to stop her from resurrecting her dark empire with her weapons of wildersteel.
