In a vast empire teetering on the brink of chaos, a seasoned dwarf spy undertakes one final, perilous mission to save his people from an ancient and awakening evil. Tasked with rallying his kin and forging secret alliances in Bologna, he knows that failure will not only mark him as a traitor but could doom his entire race to extinction. As the city, filled with crime and vice, hums with the murmur of rebellion and fear, he must outmaneuver the Emperor's secret soldiers—shadowy figures who watch, report, and kill without hesitation.
As rumors of an orcish invasion spread, the dwarf navigates a web of intrigue, planting seeds of doubt and discord among the city’s rulers while preparing his people for a desperate exodus. With every step, he risks exposure, and with every alliance, he teeters closer to betrayal. Amidst the rising tension, the spy is forced to confront his own fears and question whether the kingdom he seeks to save is worth the price of his soul. As the dawn of war approaches, he must decide whether to flee with his people or fight against the darkness that threatens to consume them all.
