As King Jeraziah's faith wavers in the face of the old-world Paragon magic and successful anarchy of the URSA Corps, some of the Legion's finest warriors are bowing to a new god: Technology. When Legion raiding parties successfully breached the long-buried archives beneath the ruins of Hope's Keep, they discovered vast chronicles of scientific research from before Man's Fall from Light. The archives included dizzying formulae, pharmaceutical recipes, and detailed schematics for everything from wind-up toys to orbital kinetic weapons. Engineers pored over the salvaged documents and immediately began developing prototypes. Now, while most prayers to Sol, Aurealis, and Lunari go unanswered, when this new breed of warrior, known as the NeoLegion, invokes a response from their bleeding-edge weaponry and armor, they always get a response -- usually in the form of a dead enemy. Amen. Shadowkiller was a member of the raiding party that breached the archives beneath the ruins of the Cathedral of Hope and, at that time, a devoted disciple of the Sacred Order of Arasunia. Her faith was rocked when she saw the destruction man had once wrought through science and technology, and when she first held the laser scythe created by the NeoLegion engineers, she felt, for the first time in her life, tangible power. Not something chanted and prayed about -- real power. If it had once been used to nearly destroy the human race, what could it do to the corruption spewing out of the Scar? As one of the NeoLegion, she is determined to answer that question.
