Drawn off his path home by a strange and mysterious music, Embrosk finds himself lost and desperate in the fallen Ogre kingdom of Cadmon. There, he meets a young Ogre named Aio--a quester who has spent his life searching for the information that would restore magic to his species. 

In the first episode of Gold, Bones, and Leather, Embrosk, a potion-maker and scholar of magic descends the holy mountain of Bocere in the company of Phelan, an Ogre, and one of Embrosk's close friends. During the descent, he witnesses several instances of strange, unexplained magic that both excite his imagination and increase his trepidation about his upcoming journey home.
