On the fringes of the mighty Darikahn Empire, the small waterworld of Aguba spins lazily in the void, a tempting morsel for power-hungry nobles...and worse. Once a world of the Karsan League, Aguba is a world of divided loyalties and petty ambition, blithely dismissive of the looming threat of the Vaylen.
