Meet Caltro Basalt. He’s a expert locksmith, a selfish bastard, and as of his first night in Araxes, rock cold lifeless. They call it the town of Countless Souls, the colossal jewel from the Arctian Empire, and all it takes to become its ruler can be to own even more ghosts than any other. For in Araxes, the lifeless do not rest in serenity in the afterlife, but go on as slaves for the wealthy. While Caltro problems to survive, those around him strive for the emperor’s throne in Araxes’ cutthroat video game of power. The deceased gods whisper from corpses, a soulstealer looks for to produce a name for himself by using an ancient cult, a princess plots to purge the emperor from his armoured Sanctuary, and a murderer drags a body over the desert, objective on achieving Araxes regardless of the cost. Only 1 thing is for certain in Araxes: loss of life is merely the beginning.
