Nach Jahrhunderten im Exil hat der Necronlord Oltyx endlich erhalten, wonach er sich schon immer gesehnt hat: den Thron der Ithakas-Dynastie. Die Königswürde ist allerdings nicht ganz das, was er sich erhofft hatte. Oltyxʼ Herrschaft beginnt an Bord des altersschwachen Schlachtschiffes Akrops, das sich schwerfällig von den Ruinen seiner Kronwelt entfernt.

Wenn Oltyx nicht handelt, um seine Dynastie zu retten, wird die Rache sein Untergang sein.
