Ich habe einen Plan. Einen guten, durchdachten Plan. Doch ein hinterlistiger Zwerg und zwei Schläger zwingen mich dazu, früher zu handeln, als ich wollte. Dabei habe ich noch nicht alles vorbereitet. Der Plan wackelt, und von überall her platzen unangenehme Überraschungen herein. Statt das Übel mithilfe einer Armee schweigsamer Helfer auszumerzen, bin ich auf mich allein gestellt. Die Stadt, unter der sich möglicherweise das verbirgt, was ich schon so lange suche, wird belagert.

Ich bin der, den es nicht geben dürfte. Meinesgleichen wird normalerweise tot geboren oder–wenn es gut läuft–sterben wir noch als Säuglinge. Wer sich nicht entwickeln kann, stirbt. Es ist eine simple Sache. Kein Kind der Leere hat jemals das erste Jahr überlebt. Nur ich habe es bis zum dreizehnten geschafft, und fragt nicht, wie. Elende dreizehn Jahre einer jämmerlichen Existenz. Alles, was ich in der Zeit tun konnte, war mich mit unendlicher Anstrengung zu bewegen. Und selbst das nicht immer. Für jede Minute meines Lebens musste der Clan tief in die Tasche greifen.

Manche sagen, es gäbe keinen furchtbareren Ort im ganzen Norden. Das Dickicht. Eine eiternde Wunde auf dem Antlitz des Planeten, die Wurzel und Heimat der gefährlichsten Kreaturen von Rock. Der Tod selbst sei einst durch seine Gebiete gewandert, und wo er den Fuß hinsetzte, gebar er abscheuliche Mischwesen, denen er einen Teil seiner Natur, einen morbiden Kern, einpflanzte. In das Dickicht vorzudringen, ist schwer; lebend wieder herauszukommen, noch schwerer. Wen es durch eine Laune des Schicksals dorthin verschlägt, der ist endgültig verloren–es sei denn natürlich, er ist ein großer Held.

The enemy is strong. There are a lot of them, and they are pressing the attack forward. Me, I don't have enough supplies and weapons for my army. Heck, I don't even have an army to speak of. Corruption is rampant, the government is in free fall, and rioting mobs run free. Thievery is rampant to the point that even my old friend Beko is left speechless. Because it is not his own doing. But the worst of it is they want me to pull out of that unfortunate place altogether—and save face too. Because the Empire never abandons its friends, does it?
