You are an Exile — thrown into the dungeons beneath the Evil Queen's forts and left to rot. The Goddess of Order offers you a way back: descend floor after floor, break the Queen's garrisons, and gather the three shards of the Resonator that opens a portal into her palace. But steel alone won't get you there. Knock enemies out instead of killing them, shackle them and drag them back to your refuge on a leash. Captives can be persuaded, intimidated or bribed into serving you: smiths, leatherworkers and enchanters for your workshops, workers for your extractors — or companions who fight at your side in the next raid.

Interrogate the Queen's officers to learn where the shards are hidden, and build your camp into something the Queen should fear. Lose a fight and it isn't game over — your captors strip you, chain you and lead you away. Struggle free, find your gear and get out.
