On Black Mesa

When Queen Carlota attempts to win over the country east between the mountains and the sea with trade and evangelism, the Scarred King reacts with war. The enemy wizards created a wall of air between the two countries, a giant monumental construct that changes weather patterns and how magic works in the Vale of Stars.

Captain Joao is caught on the other side of the wall with his cohort, leaving them vulnerable to attack from the Scarred King's troops. Anton is sent to find and stop the wizards creating the wall. Kala, as Holy Warrior, is sent north to rein in rebellious noblemen and renegade priests.

All the while tries to protect her people, Carlota desperately wants her husband back so they can team up to bring down the wall of air.  Young Prince Karlis begins to show a talent for magic, it dawns on Carlota that her son will be the Dreaming Child. But if the wall of air stays up, Karlis will not live to fulfill the prophecy.
