Drawn from the Undertow

Few glow as strong as Commander Vespula, the heroic wasp who felled countless feathered dragons in defense of his hive. His short life of glory passed, and in his eternal afterlife he hungers to conquer the miniature civilization that dwells within the walls of the Threadspinner's Guild.

Three tiny Threaded explore a lush paradise of magical flora, where a secret organization guards the key to their quest.
