Having defeated the demonic threat to Kenabres, Bliks joins the Fifth Mendevian Crusade into the Worldwound, hoping to capture the northern city of Drezen and it's sacred artifact, a banner depicting the Sword of Valor. In truth she travels in search of Arueshalae, a redeemed demon who has warned her of a greater threat to both Mendev and Golarion.

Bliks, a powerful mage, fresh from defeating Unity's threat to Numeria, continues her journey with fellow veteran adventurers Hex and Eryno, as a new threat emerges to the north. Long had Numeria's leaders ignored the Worldwound and the Mendevian Crusades trying to contain it, but now, under their leadership, they would face a new demonic incursion that threatened all of Golarion.
