The Story
When the sky-city of Barak-Thryng comes under attack by the manic Gloomspite Gitz, its defenders must summon all their courage to repel the horde. Yet, this invasion is only the prelude to a far greater and darker threat orchestrated by the Weaver of Fates, who has turned his scheming gaze upon the city.
Amid this chaos, Grombrindal emerges from legend to tip the scales. Joining him are the Oathbreakers, a desperate band of duardin seeking to lift a harrowing curse—a burden that Grombrindal once vowed to release.
