About this ebook

As the Runehammer Mining and Construction Company was building the catacombs to serve as the final resting place for King Thoragan Vortan and Queen Elsin Vortan, those working on the project stumbled upon a previously unknown passage within the mines. They found a cavern that had a large freshwater lake inside. Following this discovery, Wulfgar Runehammer, feeling encouraged, directed mining teams to venture into the depths of Aethermoor, and ultimately, they unearthed a cavern where Nyogtha, a creature that shouldn't be, the eldritch god and destroyer, had been imprisoned for centuries beneath Aethermoor. When the miners accidentally set Nyogtha free, he repaid them by killing them, which was his way of showing his gratitude for being released. Faced with panic and destruction, Wulfgar established a cruel arrangement, providing Nyogtha with frequent sacrifices in order for Nyogtha to go back beneath the surface. Over many decades, the city of Wyldmere developed and expanded surrounding these mines, fueled by the magical mineral Aetherium, which was provided by Nyogtha. And this magical mineral powered a revolutionary advancement in magical technology. The city of Wyldmere, a place of striking disparities, showcases both dazzling contemporary structures and concealed, dimly lit alleyways, where one can find secret cult gatherings, intricate political plots, and lethal concealed information. Currently controlled by Wulfgar Runehammer, the Runehammer Mining Company's monopoly over Aetherium allows it to wield an extraordinary amount of power. Having arrived in Wyldmere, Ragnar Runehammer is looking for a fresh beginning as a gunsmith and alchemist, but he quickly comes into possession of Wulfgar’s empire, its secrets, as well as the frightening responsibility of preserving Nyogtha. Ragnar, thrust into a deadly conflict between fanatical cultists who are intent on freeing Nyogtha and Runehammer loyalists who are desperate to protect the city, must find his way through perilous alliances while also uncovering forbidden knowledge that could lead to the loss of the city's soul.
