For millennia the Sentients, a race of god-like beings, have warred over the fate of the mortals of Jegathar. One of them has taken on the flesh in order to recover the Arms of Authority, arcane keys that can be used to access the Well of Making in order to alter creation's pattern. An entity known as the Walker is being used as a tool in this twisted scheme, invoking his dark gift to travel unseen through a lightless realm called the Everdark, parting the veils of time to rewrite history. That gift is called Shadowflight.
