Surprise surprise, it's the immortal Sundr Bellower, tricked into dying by the arrow put into him by the deceased Rook/Alette per your choice in the last game! Bolverk is pissed again. After accepting a deal with Zefr to bring their wagon and package to the Valka HQ of Manaharr, Bolverk cracks into what exactly lays within his mysterious unmarked wagon. Blah blah blah, Rugga the governor-asshole continuously 'advises' you and gives you shit if you don't listen to him.The Dredge hordes eventually reach Bindal, and Bolverk is pissed. Along the way, they encounter, befriend, and massacre horseborn (read: renown farm), kill dredge, slaughter indigenous populations of xenophobic irish people and venture through shady shifty psychedelic forests in search of safety. But he accepts staying at Bindal, at least for a time.Meanwhile, Rook/Alette and co move forward across the swamps of Buttfuck-swamp-peoplesland and the plains of Lundar in their venture towards Arberrang. When the Ravens finally reach Bindal, the Valka Zefr reveals the fate of Juno (read: executed for being a mind-controlling bitch) and exposes Juno as a fraud. He also learns that several human prisons and towns in the area were abandoning their peoples and fleeing for Arberrang, exposing the desperate fear surrounding human civilization at the prospect of renewed war with the Dredge.

After several days of travel on the Ormsa river and various challenges to your leadership (ie Rugga, the asshole governor from Boersgard who tries to assert his rule), the caravan encounters a gigantic chasm on the approach to Ormsdalr, a chasm created by a gigantic god-like serpent that has begun to consume the world. The surviving member of the father-daughter duo is in control of the caravan and begins their journey towards the safety of Arberrang, the capital city of the humans whose walls would hopefully save their clansmen from the Dredge. Spoiler "The game begins in Boersgard after either Rook or Alette, depending on your choices, has "slain" the immortal Sundr Bellower while getting themselves killed in the process.
