Conor brawls with Vorgeen, the leader of a neighboring tribe. The fight is interrupted when a merchant named Quadras arrives to demonstrate his magic powder, called "atmos" (what later centuries will call gunpowder). Quadras has three barrels of the powder, and Conor successfully bids for one. Longinus is also interested in the powder, however, and attacks the merchant that night to steal the atmos.

The next morning, Conor and Fergus find Quadras, who claims a demon stole the atmos from him. They take the despondent merchant back to their village, and he urges them to recover the powder. That night Vorgeen's village suffers an explosion, and Queen Diana tells Vorgeen to ally with her – or else she will use the atmos again. Vorgeen and Conor confer, but Vorgeen only wants more atmos, whereas Conor wants to destroy the powder once and for all, for the common good.

In the battle that follows, Longinus reveals a new weapon he has devised, a "projector" (a primitive cannon). The weapon kills Quadras. Fergus finds Quadras' sketchbook, which contains images of a cannon and many other devices, but Conor insists that creating new weapons will only lead to an increase in violence that will destroy them all.

They sneak into Diana's fortress to steal the powder. They are captured, and both Longinus and the atmos are already gone. The heroes escape and find Longinus in Vorgeen's village, sitting atop the barrels and holding a torch. Hoping to end his own eternally accursed life, he ignites the atmos and destroys Vorgeen's village. Alas, Longinus survives to continue his eternal suffering.
