The threats to the security of the Yridia system and all of its inhabitants have spread, and to make matters worse Tarentum's Summit is in disarray. The Tarenti have struck out and gotten their sweet revenge for their fallen comrade, but now they must act swiftly to end the Parliamentary Rebellion once and for all. With everything they have arrayed against them, it will take the entire Clan to snatch victory from these bleak conditions.

The new Tarentum Summit has begun to quietly loosen the strictures that have forced the practitioners of the darkest arts of necromancy into hiding, but not everyone is pleased. The off-world mercenary group whose new leader has caused so much consternation to the Tarenti have arrived on Yridia IX in preparation for an assault on the Asylum of the Mystics of the Black Arts, long rumored to be a hub of necromancy.

Consul Farrin Xies has ordered a team of Tarenti to the Asylum to defend it, and you've volunteered to join them. Regardless of your own personal feelings about necromancy and whatever it is that has gone on in the Asylum, the Prince of Yridia has spoken; as a loyal Tarenti, you obey. You don't know how much time you and your fellow Tarenti have to prepare the defenses, so time is of the essence.
