Sorraine has engaged in a decidedly ingenious retrograde maneuver to recoup forces damaged fighting the infidel Ohnarians, powered by dark forces outside of human comprehension.

Victory will soon come to Sartan's chosen and the world will see what lays in store for those who deal in witchcraft.
Pigs will fly and Selene will bake and eat humble pie first.
