The Drowned Knell now sails the great subterranean lake known as the Womb, underneath the fallen Spire of Abhoreth, filled with monstrous creatures that would swallow a lesser captain whole. Despite the many potential dangers of this new environment, Murakame Wako is powerful and vastly experienced, seeing an opportunity rise from the strange circumstances he has found himself in.
Within the Womb, all four elements exist in harmony, and thus a connection to the seas of the Elemental Domains could be established through ritual, allowing more of Wako’s fleet to sail into Eä. Reaching the surface above, however, the veteran captain of the Drowned Knell has come across a new and deadly threat… He is to face an adversary worthy of his skill, for the Shadow Who Walks now stalks him and wishes to thwart the captain’s plans!
