Act 2

Enraptured by his big brother's heroic escapades in the legendary Aether Guard, Zlo Wim runs away from home to become a Signalman in Captain Doneir's elite fighting patrol.

However, long before ever doing battle with the monstrous Spawn of Chaos itself, his lack of experience and training put his plans in jeopardy. Pushed hard by an ambitious commanding officer that accepts only the very best from his warriors, Zlo must learn quickly or fall at the very first hurdle.

Surrounded by battle hardened fighters and cynical outcasts, he must fight to make friends and earn his place in the team. With only days left before the real fighting begins, can this naive child rise to the challenge and become the hero of his own dreams, or is he doomed to be the latest forgotten casualty in a violent adult world?

This Grimdark, Bronzepunk world continues to force even the young and innocent to fight tooth and nail for their own survival.
