The journey begins anew.
The apocalypse has come and gone. The landscape is blasted, and civilization has been torn asunder. The world has turned to pit fights and blood contests where quick wits and a good grip on a blade may keep a man alive for another day.
Amidst this life-and-death struggle arises an artifact of compelling power. None can resist it. All desire it. But only one can hold it.
