Aseo the Tarnished has a new goal― obtaining Ranni the Witch’s Cursemark of Death―and he even agrees to enter Ranni’s service for it. But as soon as Aseo signs up, she sends him off on a mission to the Eternal City of Nokron with Blaidd the Half-Wolf in tow! However, the perils of Nokron may not be the greatest dangers. Preceptor Seluvis is a real puppet hobbyist, and he thinks an authentic, life-size Aseo action figure to do his bidding would make a fine addition!
