Plot
A professor from the University of Pax gets a call from the Joint Border Forces administration about book that was discovered by archaeologists who were found dead in the ruins of an ancient Babkhi ziggurat, close to the Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic. The book, he soon discovers, is a powerful artifact which survived the nuclear holocaust, and that it can summon a warrior of Ahriman, the prince of darkness.
When the archaeologists summoned the warrior, they were caught off guard by his incredible strength and terrifying abilities, and killed them almost instantly. The warrior begins to wreak havoc, attacking everything in sight and leaving destruction in his wake.
As professor and his students begin to investigate the book's history, they learn that rebellious and non-canonical Zurvanite theologists created the book to summon the warrior and sought to use him to restore Ahriman's power. Ahriman's warrior was the only survivor of the god's army, and he disappeared into the unknown after Ahura Mazda defeated Ahriman. Professor realizes that he must stop the warrior before he can bring about the return of Ahriman on earth and plunge the world into darkness.
The students and their professor work together to uncover the secrets of the book and find a way to defeat the warrior. They discover that the book is linked to the ruins across the Eura and must journey to uncover the key to defeating him.
As they search for a way to stop the warrior, the students and their professor face numerous obstacles and challenges, while the warrior is terrorizing rural areas across Oportia, Constancia, Suren and Zeed, leaving investigators in confusion. The group must navigate treacherous terrain and overcome dangerous sites that guard the secrets of the ancient kingdom. Along the way, they also face their own fears and doubts as they realize the magnitude of the danger they are facing.
In the final showdown, the students and their professor confront the warrior in an epic battle that will determine the fate of the world. They use their knowledge of theology and the power of good to defeat the warrior and prevent the return of Ahriman. The book is sealed away in a secure location to ensure that it never falls into the wrong hands again.
The story ends with the students and their professor reflecting on their journey and the lessons they learned along the way. They realize that the true power lies not in artifacts but in the strength of the human spirit to overcome even the darkest of forces.
