- A Theran magician's search for a young girl with mysterious powers draws the attention of Barsaive's great dragons¸ who want her for their own...
- A new ork nation slowly forms in southwest Barsaive¸ as orks from all across the province migrate to their new homeland. Once enslaved and long disregarded¸ the orks mean to claim power and respect at last...
