The Trepidar have mobilized. Dyne Trepid Kyvin and General Slivith are marching their soldiers across the expanse of jungle between Trepidar and their target. For the Dyne, knowledge is power, and he will do anything to gain the knowledge to save his people from starvation and poverty. Cason Del'Ambora, a living vampire, traveled to the Western Civilization, a nation of empathic humans, to warn them of their impending doom. The governor, Wictow Quarn, rejected Cason's claims and believes that Cason, himself, is the threat. A small band of Cason's supporters within the First City sneaks Cason away to the Monestary, where the Order of the Endeavor resides. Despite his fear of becoming a Messiah to the Order, Cason teaches a selective group how to use the energy of the universe, while he has other supporters pull together a small army to oppose the Trepidar army. The first war has come! Who will truly win?
