Two decades ago, the mage Delminor brought together the shards of the Red Jade in an effort to bring peace to two kingdoms that were ever at war. Instead, his dying efforts decimated both armies and scattered the shards across the lands. Now Dariak, a Hathren mage, seeks the scattered shards of the Red Jade, attempting to unify them with less disastrous results. To begin his quest, he ventures into enemy territory and encounters danger at every turn.

With the companions and the jades united, Dariak’s quest should have already ended, but more work remains. As with Delminor, who assembled the jades two decades earlier, bringing the shards together led only to further devastation. To complete his quest, Dariak must solve the final complication and unite the Red Jade permanently, without destroying any more of the world around him. Only with the help of his companions can the talented mage hope to bring peace to the lands of Kallisor and Hathreneir. Only together can they uncover the truth of the Forgotten Tribe.

With one jade left to reclaim, the team fractures, further jeopardizing Dariak's quest for peace. Heading deeper into Hathreneir, he seeks the final shard.

The shattered shards in a shattered land.... With the fall of the prisoner’s tower, Dariak and his companions head west toward his home kingdom of Hathreneir. The group struggles against feral creatures while striving to avoid the king’s soldiers. With each piece of the Red Jade, Dariak’s powers grow, but - as in Pindington - he can’t always control them. As the group journeys through the opposing kingdoms, each member must confront his or her past. Though they gather allies along the way, the war looms closer and peace seems ever out of reach.
