Agar prepares to set forth on his adventure, until he gets an ear-bashing from his mother.

Agar is told-off by his mother for going out on an adventure, so he cuts her head off and keeps the still-chatting head in his bag. Then, the gluttonous and very tall dwarf Golin Longshanks arrives with a message from Radox. The wizard tells Agar to go to The Doomsday Guild and learn where to find the mighty Summontrumpet, so he can bring all the heroes of Middle-Sea together.

In Albion, all is not well. King Yulfric is treating the evil Brotherhood of Night with tolerance and understanding, even if they keep drowning his guards in the name of baptism. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Veganin goes in search of the leader of the Brotherhood, unaware that the leader is able to turn things into ashes just by looking at them.

Agar, Golin and Stephen make their way to The Doomsday Guild where they learn of the location of Summontrumpet. However, as they make their way to it, their journey becomes even more perilous.
