In one night, the High Society raided the quiet city of Paradise Falls where a celebration was honoring 100 years of peace time relations. In a matter of hours over 50,000 people were killed. Ten years later, the score has yet to be settled. The truce is due to expire, and the Lake Crew, still viciously scarred, refuses to cooperate with their abusers in the High Society to extend the deadline. Ready to take a stand, they partner with their old allies in the Greenhouse Protectorate to try and take back their freedom. Though not everyone agrees on how to go about this, it is eventually understood that war is all the High Society understands, so it is a war they will get. Fearing being outnumbered by their underlings, the High Society partners with the brutish, yet effective Outlier Tribe in an effort to squash this foolish idea of resistance quickly before it gets out of hand. However, the High Society wasn't prepared for the hidden leadership that the Lake Crew possessed. Spencer is tired to talking, but will she and her people have what it takes to remove the might of the High Society from their pedestal?

The quiet Victorian town of South Krimson was turned on it's head during the summer of 1897. While celebrating the wedded bliss of the town's richest family, the La Croix's, scandals were on the horizon. Questions of inheritance for the La Croix family fortune were making headlines. Activity of the Krimson Mafia was picking up speed. The mayoral reelection race was in desperate need of funds. And to make matters worse, the most dangerous woman in the state, the Black Veil herself, Vanessa Vale, has just been released back into her hometown of South Krimson after serving a ten-year prison sentence for a double murder. It is all the little town can do to keep itself together when news of another untimely double murder shakes them to their core. The police are searching for suspects, scapegoats, and anything else they can get their hands on, no matter the cost. But as the investigation takes its toll on the deeply troubled La Croix family, it's unclear whether or not the true killer will ever be caught and put to justice. One thing is for certain though, the town will never be the same when summer is over. Will the La Croix's be strong enough to survive the heat striking South Krimson?

In the year 9 CE the conquest of the Roman Empire suffered its greatest defeat in the forested hills of ancient Germania, known as the Osning. This defeat came at the hands of Arminius, a man born into the Cherusci tribe of Germania, but cowardly sold into Roman slavery by his father. Having spent his formative years gaining a Roman military education, Arminius rose through the ranks rapidly to become a lieutenant, and trusted advisor to the Roman Governor of Germania, Publius Quinctilius Varus. Although respected by the Roman Governor, and suspected as fiercely loyal, Arminius never had any intentions of letting Rome control his homeland. For years and years Romans had been spreading their empire throughout Europe, but Germania provided a constant struggle. Varus thought he could make strides where his predecessors had routinely failed, thanks in part to his Germanian born advisors at his side. But Arminius had been making plans of his own for Germania. Over 50 some odd tribes called the forests and cities of Germania home. It was Arminius' grand plan to unite a majority, if not all of the tribes one day, and declare Germania free of any and all Romans. The problem though was his Roman upbringing, and time spent away from the tribes. Warlords, chiefs, and former allies had become bitter towards one another, with trade and political accords deteriorating with each passing moon. To rally anti-Roman support and foster cooperation amongst the Germania tribes was a battle in and of itself, but Arminius was graced with helpful efforts from a few interesting individuals. This is their story. The story that picked up where so many had failed. The story of how in September of 9 CE, Arminius and his roughly assembled tribal allies made sure Rome knew what they were up against in the Osning; a resistance the likes of which Rome had never seen before.

After keeping 30 years of peace with a refugee group of aliens from the crippling Kalonian Dyre system, relations have failed to uphold in the wake of a murder investigation. Head scientist Dr. Milo Jaymes, in charge of the Zephyr Project, a government funded research organization set up to establish mutual communication, trade, and cooperation with the refugee alien race, has been found dead at the result of an alien induced injury. While the reclusive alien leader maintains his group's innocence in the ordeal, the human government in charge of the isolated Ward 3 alien occupation zone, is less than convinced. To make sure justice is swiftly served, a new team of human scientists have been moved into the Vault, the underground research facility beneath Ward 3. The new team quickly discovers the powers that be have painted a very different picture of life in Ward 3 to the public, and all is not what it seems at first glance. Orphaned daughter Dr. Clarke Jaymes, an anthropologist, is part of the new team. Confused and overwhelmed by her father's death, she quickly sets up peaceful relations with the alien ambassador to get to the bottom of the years long corruption that has really been taking place. Fingers are being pointed now from all sides, accompanied by deadly consequences and threats of a nuclear war. Relationships are further strained when the truth of the murder is finally revealed, and decisions must be made between what is safe, and what is right. Will humanity and the truth bring justice to Dr. Milo Jaymes death? Or will 30 years of research and relations with the alien race cease to exist?

The final sides have been chosen. Reconciling with the past has given a better view of the potential the future can still bring. The Emerald is almost home, and the fate of Arc nia hangs in the balance. Hope is slight, help is a death sentence, and failure is almost certain.

However, with such enormous pressure riding on his success and his lack of dependability he simply cannot be allowed to endure such a quest alone. But who could prove worthy enough of bearing the Emerald against the dark forces and bring back peace to their deteriorating land?
