Spade the Thief is dead.
In the world of Esem, where players are spawned with no memory of what came before, there is one guild which stands supreme. When one of their members dies mysteriously at sea, it is up to a newly spawned player to unearth the truth from the Old Guard's graveyard of buried secrets.
A new guild must be formed to challenge the Old Guard, but Esem is no longer as it seems. Ancient magics are coming to light and pacts with hideous powers are being formed. Can this new guild hope to challenge the guild of the Old Guard?
