Summary
Blood is thicker than water or so they say, especially when its the blood of Hatred flowing through your veins, but we are who we choose to be, not what our parents would demand we become. Rathma abandoned his ancient haunt of Kasama, and has spent his recent years traveling Sanctuary with only the Zann Esu sorceress, Ashe, as his companion. Together, they've worked to protect the Balance that even decades after Malthael's defeat is still offkilter. Yet, Inarius' zealots descend deeper into madness with every passing day, and Lilith's return only promises to wash a fresh wave of chaos over Sanctuary. Fully believing that if you want something done right, you do it yourself, Rathma and Ashe resolve to take matters into their own hands, but allies are a rarity in such troubled days, and allies they can trust may be a luxury they cannot afford. Neither Lilith nor Inarius have any mercy to spare for those who would stand against them, but powers far more devious and dangerous than either of them could hope to be lurk in the shadows, and one of them sets their eyes on Ashe, seeing what few others do: what the sorceress truly is, and what she might become.
