The Cities of Wisdom survive only through submission to the Mazdas, vestigial priests of the ancient pantheon. Venerating the dead gods, and the clergy who keep their memory alive, is the only way to keep the Shadow at bay. To question this is heresy, the punishment is death.
The Herald says otherwise. Emerging from obscurity, he claims there is a new goddess sleeping at the edges of reality. If she can be awoken, then the Shadow will be destroyed and the world remade into a paradise.
But his vision of a better world must overcome the remnants of the old one. For some, it is a great dream that his followers will bring about at any cost. To others, it is a vile heresy that must be expunged. And to those caught in the middle, it is a growing nightmare they may not awaken from.
