Story
Plot
| Lyr rallies around its new king, Rogan Kayle, the Skylord, Moon sees what strength and hope founding a new home can give. But the humans of the north are not the only ones who need aid, the fire tribes of the Southern Wastelands have also been brought to the edge of extinction by The Twilight Wars. Because their Red King stole the giant's treasure and abandoned his people, the tribes of the south are in disarray. Leaderless and shunned for their king's dark deeds, they are easy pickings for bandit slave hunters. Moon knows they need a new leader to give them hope. And by freeing some of them from the clutches of a vile bandit lord, she hopes to either find that leader or at least show the fire people they are not alone. |

Shane Blight strode the quarterdeck like a caged animal and slid a calloused hand over the Ravenheart's wooden railings but the familiar texture brought him little comfort.
His personal landship crew, loyal to the end, sat watching him. Long since had their Captain’s throat become raw from screaming at the mutinous scum who had imprisoned him. Now Blight could only watch the traitors from his imprisoned landship as they fumbled about below, trying to scrape a living off petty slave trading.
Once they had been part of his pirate fleet, The Ravens; feared and respected in equal measure, it had been a glorious reign. But then Blight had clashed with the White Juggernaut. At the painful memories he felt pain surge through the ragged socket of his missing right eye. He remembered the epic battles with the evil creature, the last which had cost him both an eye and the loyalty of his fleet. But the losses had granted Blight true understanding, he now knew the White One’s presence in the world was an offence to the natural order. He had originally sought out the creature because Umbabwe, his ogre witch doctor, had told him the White One’s horn would rid him of the pain plaguing his body.
But now, after facing it the beast battle, he knew it to be an abomination even by its own kinds’ standards. The world had to be rid of its foul taint, just as he would be rid of the pain that wracked his being. Blight’s need to do this one thing burned bright in his soul and drove all other thought from his mind.
In the distance, beams of light suddenly lanced skywards, Shane Blight smiled grimly. Perhaps his chance was on its way.
Conclusion
| Moon’s bandit skirmish not only failed to find a new Fire King, it set free Shane Blight, a dangerous man who will surely lay a path of destruction through the helpless people of the south in his quest to hunt the White Juggernaut. Moon will have to send Skylords to seek the White Juggernaut, for should she find him, she will find Blight. Maybe then, she will be able to stop the infamous pirate. By freeing Blight the Skylords may have set in motion a much larger chain of events that could literally make the earth tremble. |

The storm portal closed behind the Ravenheart's stern, the dark cloud vortex spitting the landship into a dirty blue sky above the tormented surface of the Raging Sea.
Beneath her a cluster of massive stone pillars pierced the water. Shrouded by columns of sea spray, the huge formations looked both impressive and foreboding. Wooden docks and storehouses were bolted onto the black cliffs with titanic chains that still appeared sound. Several old landship hulks swayed in the grip of decaying ropes. Speared to the highest cliff by harpoons, a faded black flag with a red raven emblazoned on it snapped angrily in the high winds. Blight grinned, glad the Raven's Nest had endured the Twilight in relatively good shape.
“What now, my master?” asked Umbabwe, Blight's ogre witch doctor.
“The Ravens will rebuild. We will need men.” Blight squinted at the tired looking vessels before him.
“And ships fit to serve in my fleet.”
His few men stared at the swaying wrecks with dismay.
“Back to work, maggots!” snapped Blight.
As the landship crew scurried back to their jobs, Blight's gaze strayed north towards the wastelands, he smiled slightly.
“I'm coming White One, I'm coming. I hope the Twilight hasn't finished you. That privilege is something I hunger for myself.”
