The Crumbling Abyss George Straatman

As the Antiquated World spirals into chaos...the crumbling abyss beckons... Ground remorselessly between three odious millstones, the nations of the Eastern Continent prepare to face their moment of reckoning. As King Artumas and his allies, both old and new, prepare to confront the menace posed by Myrhia's imminent vengeful return, two dire new threats arise to plunge the entire continent into dark chaos. In the Blighted Lands, deranged Sygeanor, having usurped control of Metocan and vowed obliteration of Lamia and its Queen Lorio, raises a ravenous legion of undead to see that vow fulfilled. From across the Sea of Prevailing Mystery comes a massive army of misogynistic religious zealots intent on cleansing the continent with blood and fire. Even as Emercia and her allies prepare to give opposition to this daunting three-headed serpent, Artumas realizes that it may be Lissom, his most powerful ally and divine emissary of a goddess, who may pose the greatest threat to the land's uncertain future. When it seems inevitable that darkness will prevail and the last faint vestiges of light will be extinguished, deliverance arrives from two unlikely sources...but at a cost that may yet prove unbearably exorbitant.
