It is a time of incomparable peace in Imeria, but the tragedies of peace are twofold: fragility, and that the wicked will find ways to hurt people without tipping the delicate balance. All it takes is power.

For now, the great cannons of Trollhaven are silent sentinels over the snow. For now, the grasping tendrils of the Awakened Wood are in check. For now, the genocidal Necromancers of Kaer are in a ceasefire with their Vampire-worshiping neighbours. For now, the lords of the Stormcircle are content to collect taxes.

But something terrible is coming. Annan the Prosecutor, disgraced high executioner of House Olimak, has been visited by a stranger bearing dread prophecies. Now she seeks the means to exact her vengeance on the city of Zendis - and from there, who knows where her wrath might lead?

As fate would have it, this is where you come in; five rag-tag mercenaries, thieves, and exiles brought together by happenstance in pursuit of a valuable magical relic - the Fallen Star.
Will you be able to overcome your differences, and your own worst impulses, to save a city from utter devastation?
Of course, things were never going to stop there...

================================================

A game of roving fantasy adventure and intrigue that started out as a Guardians of the Galaxy pastiche.

Five players, from any background likely to be out for loot and fame.
Some roles that might need filling:
- The one with the airship
- The atoner touched by dark power
- The gunslinger
- The mechanic
- A haunted tree

A skim of that ought to help you decide if this'll be a fun time for you.

If you're interested but feeling intimidated, there are also prewritten characters I can give you.
