[[TimeSkip 150 years]] have passed since the defeat of Tarjan, and many things have changed in Skara Brae. Over a century ago, the town fell into ruin and was eventually rebuilt under the new direction of the [[TheChurch Church of the Sword Father]]. This new, pious Skara Brae has [[BanOnMagic outlawed magic]] and [[FantasticRacism banished non-human residents]], while the heroes of old have become half-forgotten heathen legends. But when the ancient monsters begin returning and citizens of Skara Brae start disappearing, only one group can stand in their way--the [[WeirdTradeUnion Adventurer's Guild]], outlawed and driven underground (literally) by the Fatherites, but still fighting for the salvation of the land.
