## Overview

When the floods finally cease, something is bound to come up. In this case, it's a window of opportunities for forces of good and evil alike. With a fair amount of time having passed since the death of Mara and the end of the Second Power Wars campaign over the multiverse, the Wings of Justice have quitely resumed their work as silent and white knights over the Terra Realm of the their reality. However, things have changed for them. Brando has distanced himself from the team to find a new identity and the reigns of leadership have been balanced between Dante and Ember. Despite their worries for Brando's mental health over the rough years they've had, the team must set their focus on the rise of two groups; the Black Tide Syndicate that has risen from the disturbed and divided kingdom of Merlopia and the Warhammers, a group of extremist samurai that have ties to Dante's past. With one side imposing their distorted vision upon others and the other latching their way into the dying criminal underworld, the Wings of Justice have their hands full and their goals set. Brando, however, must find his own path in these trying times by seeking redemption for his scarred soul and retribution against Bodie, who he thinks is still pulling strings from his cell in an asylum. To either guide him or throw him off will come helps of all sorts, putting Brando on high-alert as he voyages across both charted and uncharted territory. What comes next for all these heroes can only be seen once they reach the surface of this deep darkness.
