It has rained for centuries, and the sprawling cities of the Elders have drowned beneath the floodwaters.
The survivors of Shelter, a hollowed-out mountain-side refuge, eke out a simple existence amidst the flooded, overgrown ruins of a forgotten civilisation.
But at the edge of every tale can be found rumours, whispers and nightmares of the Green Priests, a mythical religious order with powers beyond reckoning and secrets beyond count.
When a young hunter called Halvar discovers a curious artefact of the ancients, the Priests are spurred to action. For the people of Shelter have stumbled dangerously close to a truth that will reshape the world.
And now, the rainmakers have arrived.
