A golden cube covered with esoteric writings has been exhumed from the bowels of a fortress-state of the south. The artifact, dating back to a distant and terrible era, is of great interest to the masters of the Order of the Temple who immediately gather a group to investigate on the spot. Despite it, Aral, a young engineer who has just graduated, is part of the expedition. Arriving on the spot, the evil is already awakening, revealing the darkest face of the dwarf people.
