Storm clouds gather over Thedas and Tamriel both, as rivalries and the clashing of cultures and religion threaten the uneasy peace many foollishly take for granted. In Thedas, questions arise that could throw the continent into total war. Tamriel readies itself for its own conflicts, both within and without. And a mere mortal can set alight the fires that would consume the world.

(Partially inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien's one ring from Lord of the Rings) When three mages of the newly founded Mages Guild; Rhonin, Arius, and Kressmer seek to prove their mastery over the arcane arts, their pursuit of power leads them to create a ring of incredible power. They will soon learn that they cannot handle the Ebony Ring, as well as the dark forces that hunt for it.

The Fellowship has failed Frodo and Sam lie slain by Sauron who has now reclaimed the one Ring and claimed Dominion over Middle Earth. The remaining Elves have left for the Undying Lands while some stood a fought, the men of Gondor and Arnor continue to fight clinging to hope...
