On the faraway world of Faltyr, a calamitous Mage of Moor'dru must do whatever it takes to deliver the secretive contents of a magic chest back home to his master.

Can the contentious group of survivors find this Hallowed Vessel before they are consumed, figuratively by their own inner strife or literally by the island's ravenous inhabitants? And what will happen if the survivors discover Dor is the one responsible for shipwrecking them there in the first place? Will they forgive him or will his actions be their ultimate undoing?
