Deep in the vivid rocky hills of the Living Lands, miles from the closest city, I creep towards the hidden camp of three sibling bandits. Planning my stealthy ambush just right, I fire charged shots from my single-shot rifle, dispatching the trio’s devoted followers from afar before switching to my trusty wand and grimoire to deal damage to the wanted criminals up close.
As I collect proof that these scoundrels will no longer terrorize the good people of Emerald Stair, I notice a local Ranger locked in a cage. He tells me he’s one of several in his ranks to go missing in recent months. After reporting my findings to his superior in the far east, what started as a simple bounty for gold spins out into a winding conspiratorial investigation. Chasing leads across the region, I eventually discover the gang had an inside man in the Rangers who’d been helping them set up ambushes. And it's up to me to track down who among them is the traitor.
