THE LEGACY OF ANTHORM
The Ark Crusade begins.
And with it, the Legacy of Anthorm is finally revealed.
Kerwin gets a second chance, only to end up back in the dungeons of Blackwater. However, he finds unexpected allies. Together, they face a long siege, but they become a priority when Sagiron's name puts them in the crosshairs; and it's not just the enemy they need to fear. Little do they know, the Battle of Blackwater is just the first act.
Far from the front lines in Silvon, Merkhat is stuck in his village, yearning for purpose. Little does he know, he is about to face a revelation that will lead his path after the lost Legacy of Anthorm, and along the way, he finds a new purpose that his secret did not bring him.
As the crusaders arrive, the Temple of Shalon rises once more, and two old orders, the School and the Brethren, stand united for the first time in generations. And stand they must, for they face the full force of the Colonial Crimson Army.

Short synopsis
Kerwin survives his fate, only to be captured by the Metorians overtaking their castle. Jarmack and Harrogat join him in the prison as "Sagiron's minions" to be used as leverage, but they escape; however they end up besieged over winter, hiding amongst the Metorian troops in disguise.
The Crimson Foe sneaks in the castle using a hot air balloon and opens the gates, the enemy pouring in, but the trio makes an alarm in time; they escape the castle with the hot air balloon, but it burns and falls into the forest, the enemy chasing, but Roy, Ikhira and Nashira save them.
They head back to Silvon after Helen, Merkhat and the villagers, disguising as Metorian knights as they meet a long distance patrol of Metorian Army. They find their village reinforced, and Kerwin leads an attack, saving Helen, but the villagers are gone.
Before this, the pilgrims led by the Arkman, the Schoolmaster and the Grandmaster arrive, finding out about Merkhat's rogue initiation. He goes with them to Harachim to reclaim the Lost Ark, and they travel across the lands to the Hidden Valley, where Merkhat joins the School Guild and they retrieve the hidden Ark and the Ark Convoy returns it to the Temple.
Kerwin, Jarmack and Harrogat ride to the temple, meeting up with the old friends, but the Crimson Army besieges Silvon. They fight for the temple, but the enemy breaches through, driving them in the graves of peril.
But a light in the horizon kindles their hope.
