The Heroes, still dealing with some bouts of identity crisis, do some fighting both physical and verbally in dealing with the wizard guilds of Azimere. Can they bring these wizards to their senses and stand up against the forces moving against Verenn?

The heroes are underneath the city of Corindell on the island of Azimere, the home of the wizard council.  Deadly puzzles stand before them, as they find themselves in a shifty situation.

There are golden warriors, a brutal battle, and crazy chaos, but the greatest danger is hero turning on hero.

Still in the eighth Tower of Scordrennar, The Defenders of the Realm gather intel and set off to a place of the distant past that most of the heroes did not even know existed. There, a secret is revealed that changes everything they've been fighting for.

The Heroes travel North to the unknown, in search of the lost tower, or a sphere.  It is unclear.  Giants, trees, Elves, and riddles get in the way.

A reckoning for one of the Heroes and a reckoning for one of their greatest foes happens at the same time. Will the Defenders stay unified as a group? How will they survive the turmoil in the tower? Have they lost everything they have been working so hard for over all this time?

The Defender's find themselves in the middle of the Maiden's Depths, an inland sea, trying to find a Tower of Scordrennar.  Storms, shadows, and undead, try to stop them, and a fateful decision is made that could impact the entire world.

From past to present, we take a look a closer look at each Defender, and we see how the mess at the base of the Scordrenaar tower pans out.

As the Defenders return to the Scoredrennar tower, Sildren does his best to complete the genocide of the low-level orc aggressors.  Some unwelcome guests show up, and then some more unwelcome guests show up.  And all of a sudden. four forces are in a deadly battle outside the tower.

Are the hero's the baddies? They certainly push those limits when they walk into a village of low-level aggressors at high noon like a band of rowdy individuals. Death follows in the wake of the heroes but also waits for them beneath the desert.
