When all Artifacts are brought to their respective Forges and the Seals are broken. The Turnback ritual will begin, leading to the release of Naruun, the old god of false promises. The Gifted Ones, believing they will revive every lost soul in The Basin, will unknowingly bring about Naruun's return and potential domination over the world.
As the ritual commences, a colossal Stoalium contraption built by the Cult beneath the city of Edschmied will start to channel the gathered soul' energy into each of the three forges.
It takes one week for the Prison of Naruun to break.
The party must race against time to not only prevent Naruun's escape but also find a way to destroy or contain him for good.
