Liran Namtila is a quirky alfar bard who travels the continent of Ki with her trusty lute ready for action. Then birds crap on her head. As she's washing off the doo-doo in a brook, she picks up a black pebble emitting strange magic, which gradually corrupts her soul. 

Her salvation relies on seeking out the immortal hammer to smash the tiny black menace into cosmic dust before the soulless armies and their master, The Alchemist, fully revive. 

Otherwise, nothing will be able to stop their tide of decimation.
