GO BEYOND THE LIGHT.


A new power is born out of the ancient [[Pyramids|Pyramid Ship]] above [[Europa]]'s frozen frontier, and a dark [[House of Salvation|empire]] has risen beneath, united under the banner of the [[Fallen]] [[Kell]] of [[Darkness]], [[Eramis, the Shipstealer|Eramis]]. Join your fellow [[Guardian]]s and bring down the empire at any cost – even if it means wielding the Darkness itself.
