I'm sorry @SuperBidi, I thought you know what was going on.
The story is as SuperBidi knows it. The only thing you missed from the last book is the last 'dungeon' where you defeat the leader of the Cinderclaws, disrupt the ritual that powers the dragon pillars and leave them vulnerable to the counter attacks of the Ekujae.
The only thing you missed in this book is what Kuz'Arak said.
@Nwise It would be just a flavor swap with some 'training' checks.
