Fire is heresy here. The Priest-King and the cult of the sun god Loegir rule the city of Seboet with an iron fist, using manipulation, trickery and violence to enforce their rule. The sun is life for all people but here, it is death as well. By banning fire and magic and using mage-furnaces to cook the food for the entire, massive city, the priests maintain a stranglehold on its people. To do anything but bow before Loegir is to be denied home and food.

Few bother to fight this system, instead clawing their way up the long and perilous social, economic and religious ladder. Great starving masses of people live in the slums, dreaming of being awarded a home and fresh food. Most of these will be sent to fight and die for the city in battle against the surrounding pagans. Only a relative handful return, awarded homes and hot meals for their efforts.

It is no surprise that heresy is a risky but popular problem among these poor, but it has been a largely ignored problem as no one dares speak their thoughts to the city officials. But deep within the walls of the grandest temple of the city, The Oracle has been secretly crushing opposition for years.

This game takes about five years after the failed revolution of The Flame, and is a resurrection of an old game. Characters are for the most part new, and the leaders of each faction have had the old leader pass on the torch to them.
