Five years after Kyras death, Riddick has become increasingly uneasy in his role as Lord Marshall of the Necromonger fleet. His refusal to swear into the Necromonger faith has caused dissent among his subjects and assassination attempts by his subordinate commanders. Riddick strikes a deal with Commander Vaako the location of Furya and a ship to take him there, in exchange for Vaako becoming the next Lord Marshall, so that he can achieve what he calls transcendence. Led by Vaakos aide, Krone, Riddick and a group of Necromongers arrive on a desolate planet. Realizing that it is not Furya, Riddick kills most of his escort when they attempt to assassinate him. In the chaos, Krone causes a landslide and buries Riddick alive.Riddick emerges from the rubble with a broken leg, which he sets and splints while fending off native predators vulturelike flying animals, packs of jackallike beasts and swarms of venomous, scorpionlike water dwelling creatures called Mud Demons. Needing time to heal, Riddick hides himself within some abandoned ruins. After hes fully healed, Riddick notices a vast savanna beyond some rocky cliffs, but the only passage through is impeded by several muddy pools infested with Mud Demons. He begins injecting himself with Mud Demon venom in order to build an immunity and constructs improvised melee weapons, as well as raises and trains an orphaned jackalbeast pup. The two eventually defeat the dominant Mud Demon and reach the savannah. After finding an abandoned mercenary station, Riddick notices a series of approaching storms, and concludes they will unleash a serious threat that he does not explain. Needing to get offworld, Riddick activates an emergency beacon at the station, which broadcasts his identity to mercenary groups within the area. ........
