Once Roxthar's reformation of Styphon's House is concluded, his next job will be to rebuild the armies of Styphon and invade the False Kingdom of Hos-Hostigos. His final solution: root out kill all the heretics and believers of Allfather Dralm in Hos-Hostigos, especially Great King Kalvan, his wife Rylla and their spawn!

Meanwhile, there is a great migration of nomads across the Sea of Grass. They are the wild card! As they cross the Great Middle River and enter the Sastragath, driving all the clans and tribes that live

there before them, the question soon becomes: Will Styphon's House be buried by this human wave, or will they use the barbarians in their war to the death with King Kalvan?
