Tens of thousands of years in the past, monstrosities prowl the nighttime Martian skies and scythed beasts lumber through the violet grasses in the light of the red sun. Tribes of the planet’s inhabitants vie with knife and sword for power, even while an elite order of technopriests hoards the ancient troves of weapons and technology.

A new order of the Sisterhood of Assassins has arisen and allied itself with the High Council of Ledgrim in order to destroy the Dire Clan. If that wasn’t enough, the Technopriests have resurrected a menace from a forgotten age and threaten to annihilate all of the planet if the tribes do not swear subservience!
