Deep beneath Ishgar's familiar lands, a darkness stirs. In shadowed laboratories, the relentless spirit of Fenrir Ants is warped, twisted into monstrous parodies of their former selves. What began as a scientist's hubris has blossomed into a chilling ambition – the creation of a 'queen' unlike any other.
Meanwhile, on the surface, a different kind of queen rises. Fiora grapples with the power that transformed her. Across the horizon, Seraphina Valente, the 'Ice Queen' of the Oath Talisman guild, burns with a cold ambition that mirrors the flames of her rival.
An insidious plot unfurls, whispering of a war on two fronts. Below, a monstrous queen seeks to dominate the caverns. Above, two rivals ignite a silent conflict, unaware that a greater threat echoes in the darkness.
