They live on borrowed time in service to the Triune Divine. The Acolytes of the Triune Divine are practitioners of a unique garden magic. They supply the Herb Eaters with a magical popori that erases the person's memory but makes them completely forgettable. They are the ultimate spy that will never be noticed at the cost of their memories. Discover the horrifying secrets Cal, an invisible Herb Eater, discovers when he is tasked with following the most powerful Fire Mage in the village of Decize. Experience the tense interplay of hard working laberors and the elite. The men shoveling charcoal struggle to save themselves and the city from destruction when disaster strikes the Foundry. The Foundry is the largest employer and smelts ancient scrap from the time before the Fires of Heaven. With the help of Fire Mage Rhett Mayberry they turn precocious scrap metal into workable ingots. It is the backwater town's only real industry aside from grain, beans, fish, and seaweed. Nestled between two rivers and the great cities of Thanous and Varretta, Decize was once a bustling regional capital before it slipped into the forgotten farmland deep inside human ancestral lands. In the aftermath of a devastating Blood Mage the city is reeling from murder and destruction. What secrets is Rhett Mayberry keeping from the Triune Divnie Acolytes? Learn the horrific madness that sent Cal to the hangman before he chose to erase his mind and live. Terra is alive with magic; it infuses everything. The Alliant Empire long ago conquered the globe and non-human races live under the heavy thumb of a human hegemony. If you loved the videogame "Arcanum" then you're going to love the struggle between mechanics, technology, and magic. Terra abounds with supernatural races twisted by a cataclysmic event that almost destroyed the universe millenia ago; and humanity is still paying for their sins.
