As the world draws toward its final days, the undead warrior known as the Ashen One journeys to the Dreg Heap, a vast and collapsing landscape where the ruins of once-great kingdoms from countless different eras have crumbled together at the very end of time. Amid this decaying convergence, the Ashen One follows the trail of a mysterious figure named Gael, whose path leads ever deeper toward a fabled destination. That destination is the Ringed City, an ancient and long-hidden place bound up with the legend of the Pygmies, the shadowy ancestors of humanity itself. Descending through the wreckage of fallen ages toward this forgotten city at the world's end, the Ashen One presses on in search of answers, braving the horrors that dwell within the twilight of a dying world.
