The Light has returned — and the darkness has taken notice.

  Old alliances will be tested, and ancient oaths must prove themselves to be more than words. In the High Realms, long-rooted corruption stirs once more — and it will not yield without fire and radiance.

  The Light has returned.

  Whether it can endure what follows remains to be seen.
