Within the walls of Blackspire, millions toil beneath the shadow of the mysterious spire rising from the heart of the ancient city. The least fortunate of those denizens struggle to survive the tough, crime-ridden streets of Lowtown, the poorest of the city's ancient districts.
When a Lowtown guild laborer chances upon a long forgotten relic in the most unlikely of places, he unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that puts five unsuspecting souls on a collision course with a criminal mastermind scheming to bend the city to his will.
