Ages ago, the people of Hebdomar killed their creator. But Gods are ever
restless, even in death.
In every generation, a child rises from the desert of Ohtahp, bearing within them the
seed of creation itself. These "Eidolons" are called to complete a pilgrimage to the Holy
City of Mahakalpe, a place to plant their Godling seed so it might take root and
germinate among the faithful.
Dispatched by her Apostatic Priesthood, Ruxindra l'Maer sets out for the ancient walls
of Mahakalpe on a mission to slay the latest Eidolon before the Syzygy of Avum,
preventing the cycle of divine rebirth. Once she reaches the Holy City, however, she
discovers preparations for a forbidden blood rite-a human sacrifice to accompany the
Eidolon's investment. The fell ritual reeks of eldritch arcana, and Ruxindra is not eager
to see the two sorceries mix.
One thing is certain: the Eidolon must be destroyed. The last time the Godhead walked
the mortal plane, every soul on the face of Hedomar bent to his implacable will. Never
again. Ruxindra swore an oath to her priesthood, but Mahakalpe is home to Gods far
crueler than creation, and this young Eidolon she is sworn to destroy might be the only
power capable of preventing their release.
With only seven days until the syzygy aligns, the fate of Mahakalpe turns on the mercy
of one Apostatic Priest.
