Tet Corporation was founded by Roland Deschain in 1977. Its mission is to guard Stephen King, protect the rose and sabotage the Sombra Corporation.
Op19 is a highly trained, rookie agent working for The Tet Corporation's Investigation and Surveillance unit. Assigned to work several locations in New York City and Mid-World, Op19 sets out on an unexpected adventure that will take him to the very edge of reality.
Arina Yokova is the highly educated former mobster turned CEO of The Sombra Corporation. Hired to replace Richard Sayre in 2000, Arina formulated a masterful plan to sell weapons of mass destruction from the Fedic Dogan on the black market. Generating billions in profits, Arina took Sombra's languishing stock to new heights. Then after nearly a decade of working for the company, Arina siphoned the funds out of Sombra and funneled them into her family’s vast criminal empire.
Discordia tells the story of Op19's mission to Mid-World in pursuit of magical weapons and technology. This routine investigation soon transforms into a bitter fight for survival as Op19 learns the true nature of Arina Yokova's diabolical scheme.
Please note: Full documentation regarding the Discordia storyline is forthcoming and can be expected before the release of Chapter II in 2015.
