Les citoyens d'Alaskand contemplent leur pays dévasté. Impuissants, ils ne peuvent qu'observer les forces à l'œuvre. Les tzaristes, les dissidents, le gouvernement... Les enfants dieux, les Balibabs, les ransnims... Tout est en place pour l'épilogue de cette nouvelle page d'histoire. Alors que chacun analyse la situation, les fils invisibles se tissent et agissent. Alaskand survivra-t-il à ces heures sombres ?

Depuis la prise d'Aliska par les tzaristes, la communication est coupée entre la Dakyrie et le reste du pays. Le système D est de retour, et la vie suit son cours malgré tout. Les réfugiés ont quitté la capitale par milliers. Les plus chanceux ont réussi à rejoindre les provinces du sud, tandis que les autres s'entassent dans les gares en attendant un hypothétique train.

De nouveaux protagonistes inattendus se révèlent au grand jour. Après des décennies, voire des siècles de repos, les enfants-dieux comme les Balibabs se mêlent à nouveau des affaires d'Alaskand. Les tzaristes contrôlent plus de la moitié de la Dakyrie, et mettent en place leur Nouvel Ordre sans attendre. Tandis que les recherches progressent à Kurina, les alliances se font et se défont, au gré des humeurs et des secrets éventés. Mais lorsqu'Aliska est attaquée, la démocratie vacille.

Après la prise de Tavaly, les tzaristes ont peu à peu conquis l'est de la Dakyrie. Ils réinstaurent l'esclavage et la dictature. Tandis que l'armée recule, les dissidents profitent du chaos et attaquent par l'ouest de la province. Les deux groupes unissent ensuite leurs forces, et les combats se rapprochent d'Aliska, capitale d'Alaskand, et siège du gouvernement. Mis à mal par les opposants, le gouvernement prend des décisions contestables, et les citoyens réagissent. Les forces en présence se dévoilent peu à peu, et les ennuis ne viennent pas toujours du côté où on les attend.

Dans l'épisode précédent, le Nouvel Ordre Tzariste a pris Tavaly. Alaskand commence à se déchirer, entre le gouvernement qui envoie l'armée remettre de l'ordre, le nouveau Tzarit qui réinstaure la dictature et ses méthodes repoussantes dans tous les lieux qu'ils ont reconquis, et les dissidents qui sortent au grand jour pour prendre leur part de gâteau. Entre complicité et trahison, cet épisode vous emmène vers des horizons inattendus.
