beyond imagination.
But these great builders were banished long ago, and
their machines have lay dormant for many years.
Until now.

Empire knows why or how, or how to stop it.
A mysterious group intent on raising an ancient evil have appeared once more.
And they are up to something in Slade's home town...

Slade learns of the guild of ancient builders of magical machines, the Artificers, who helped end that rein of terror
centuries ago. They are gone, but their creations still remain. Will Slade uncover their secrets in time to stop the Withered Hand
