Summary: It’s Queen Farin Bachknife-Orijiabi’s birthday, and among the guests attending the celebration at the royal palace in Highseat are an adventurer-turned-courtier named Nicholas Corso and a tiny, talkative thief from the future named Marm Goodwill. When the good queen is informed of a coup in the kingdom of Blackpool by the newcomer Lord Bane, she decides to strap on her old adventuring armor and handle matters herself. She brings Corso and Marm along with her, and together they begin a risky airship voyage to Blackpool’s capital, Col Sador. Only after bloody battles with ruthless sky pirates and barbaric dogmen does the party learn of Bane’s true intentions - a plot that would see reality sucked out of existence. With the fate of Gonen’s World resting on their shoulders, the heroes’ only option is to infiltrate the Black Castle and stop Bane before it’s too late.
