✦ Anno 2512 of the Imperial Calendar ✦
"In the dark forests of the Empire, where the trees grow close and the fires burn low, four strangers were thrown together by fate — or by something altogether less kind."
The Chronicle
Each entry is a record, scribed in haste between flagons of ale and pursuits through the night. Read them in order, or wander as the comet leads you.
A motley group of strangers shares a coach bound for Ubersreik. Beastmen ambush the party in the deep wood; the coachman is slain and a sealed missive falls into their hands.
The party seeks shelter at the Red Moon Inn, where a drunken witch hunter raves of corruption in the Magistrate's office. A serving girl vanishes before dawn.
Following bloody footprints into the Chapel's undercroft, the heroes uncover a shrine defiled by the Purple Hand and a ritual already underway.
Burglary, blackmail, and a duel by candlelight. The party recovers a ledger naming a dozen conspirators — and one name they did not expect.
Pursued by hooded riders, the heroes flee north through the haunted Drakwald. A ruined coaching inn offers shelter — and something older still inside.
Yet to Come
The trail leads to the Schaffenfest. Merchants gather, the comet burns bright, and a great evil prepares to be born in the warehouses by the river.
