The Blackguard Amduscia has made a deal with demons to conquer the lands and install himself as the new king. He has made his lair in a tropical oasis of hot springs, where the fabric between the planes has become unstable. From this base he has been seeking a powerful artifact weapon to bolster his army and destroy the kingdom. Recently a royal researcher has gone to the springs to study them, but hasn't returned.
