Brave free men
Durdane is in the grip of the devilish Roguskhoi. Raping and pillaging in their lethal thrust to their heartland, they annihilate all who cross their path. With spirits sapped by years of silent tyranny, the men of Durdane stand impotent, their faceless leader a prisoner in his own palace. One man alone can save Durdane - the musician Gastel Etzwane. But even he is unaware that worming through the land is a corruption more deadly than anything the Roguskhoi can inflict.
The Asutra
From the furthest borders of the Durdane, strange rumours are spreading. For in Caraz's land of exiles and murderers, deeds are being done more terrible than any of its most ruthless dwellers could commit. And so it is to the mountains of Caraz that Gastel Etzwane must turn, certain in his heart that his old foe is not yet finished. And sure enough, amidst the rocky wastes there moves a menace whose horror the men of Durdane can scarce imagine. For as Gastel Etzwane has long since guessed, their enemy, the monstrous Asutra, is simply not of their world...
