Following a job that ended with the mysterious disappearance of a local noble (and her riches), your adventurers have taken refuge in a remote mountain hamlet, hoping the villagers don’t ask too many questions. After a rowdy night in the village inn - you’re woken by the sound of a Dragon crashing to earth, flattening houses on the outskirts of town.

Aren’t they supposed to be myths? And what are those flying ships whose cannons have clearly felled the mammoth beast?

The adventure starts in a cosy inn, revelling in your ill-gotten gains and opens into a legendary globe-spanning epic. Smoke rises over the mountains, villagers flee, and the cozy hideout you thought would keep you safe has become a nexus of danger and intrigue. You’ll explore treacherous landscapes, encounter legendary creatures, and navigate a world where magic, political scheming, and mysterious technologies collide. Every choice could mean fame, fortune, or fiery doom, and the shadows you hide in may conceal allies, enemies, or something far stranger. Prepare for a tale of daring deeds, moral ambiguity, and epic consequences that will test both your cunning and courage.
