Desperate TimesThe elves of Scarn remember a time when the lands were whole. They remember when sympathetic gods protected them from the thoughtless titans who dominated the earth. They remember the wars that raged when those titans fought to destroy the usurpers. The divine battles shattered the landscape, decimated many races and left gods dead—including the god of the elves. The titans have since been overthrown and imprisoned and the world has moved on, but without their god, the bereft elves of the Scarred Lands are dying out. A Desperate Quest One elven priest, Vladawen, has not given up in these godforsaken times, despite the ravaged earth and the titanspawn who terrorize good people. Confronted by so much tragedy, he knows only one way to preserve his people and their way of life—to resurrect their slain god.

SCARRED LANDS FORSWORN, DEAD GOD #2 Vladawen the Titanslayer, the high priest of a dead elven god, continues his quest to resurrect his deity. Following prophecies and portents, he and his companions head first to Hollowfaust, the dread City of Necromancers, and then into the wasteland beyond to explore the ruined cities of the Slarecians, a people so vile the gods and titans cooperated to destroy them. These fortresses of the unhallowed dead welcome the Titanslayer with gaping maws. He finds there scheming mystics and shambling undead, the vengeful ghosts of those who died in his name, and an enemy who may be even viler than the titans. The resurrection of his god may mean the destruction of all he loves. Can he forswear his faith to save his world?
