==Synopsis==
Petty criminals Law Pferzonne and Valzarum find themselves indebted to the powerful sorcerer Umma Xatha, a former apprentice to the great wizard Eibon, who enlists the pair in a scheme to retrieve a complete and annotated copy of his former master's greatest work, the fabled Book of Eibon. 
After travelling to the tower containing their prize Xatha betrays the thieves, attempting to sacrifice them to the minor god Kathatana which dwells within. Fortunately for the two men, Kathatana bears them no ill will, having only designs for Xatha, and they are able to escape while the vengeful deity consumes their treacherous partner.
