However, with this knowledge also comes a new quest and new challenges to ensure humans and dwarves can finally live in peace. As Owen and his friends seek ancient pieces of a hidden, mystical artifact for Stephanie, the young hero worries about his mother and her new position of Queen, begins to question his own self-worth and faces internal anger the likes of which he has never felt in his short life.
