A village on the Lake of Sorrows, Wolong is a strong-

imperial power, built by the First Emperor following his
victory in the Battle of Nine Sparrows. The priests of the
temple, now in hiding, lead the rebellion against Murod.
The Mark of
the Summoner
T
he Summoners’ inheritance is a power greater
than magic. With ancient rings, they call forth
demons and golems, supernatural servants
and elemental creatures. Summoners have toppled
empires and challenged gods. They are venerated as
saviors and feared as destroyers. The chosen are born
with a mark on their hand, but the origins of this gift
were forgotten long ago.
Joseph now fears his power more than death itself.
As a child, Joseph tried to save his village from attack-
ers, but the demon he summoned slaughtered the
villagers while Joseph watched in horror, his misguid-
ed heroics causing the deaths of those he loved.
Exiled and ostracised, Joseph vowed never to
summon again.
