The game is set in parallel to “A Game of Thrones.” The plot unfolds in chapters, alternating between playing as the Red Priest Alester Sarwyck, and the skinchanger Mors Westford, who can shift his consciousness into his Murderous Dog. This summary details the events of the plot in chronological order, rather than as they occur in-game.

Following the fall of Akenash tower, an extraordinary matter has forced Styx out of hiding and into Korrangar, city of the Dark Elves. Supposedly impregnable, a diplomatic summit offers Styx a chance at slipping in unnoticed. His infiltration complete, Styx will stop at nothing to accomplish the robbery of a lifetime: stealing a scepter of immense and indomitable power.
