About the adventure
This
is a gritty, character-driven campaign steeped in cosmic horror, where
your backstory matters as much as your stats. You'll shape who your
character trusts, what they fear, and where their loyalties lie.
Factions offer rich contrasts such as ideology vs survival, justice vs
order and Session 0 will define your group's alliances and shared
purpose. Expect tension, ambiguity, and roleplay with teeth. This is a
story for players who want to live their characters, not just level
them.
Half
a millennium past, Kaedia was forged on contested land—born not of
conquest, but of cooperation. Humans and elves, long enemies, forged an
uneasy alliance and built a new city between their realms. Kaedia grew
as a shared experiment in peace, blending elven wisdom and human
ambition. A symbolic Silverblood regent, a half-elf heir of both
peoples, was appointed to lead the city through its early years. And
thrive it did—agriculture flourished, trade routes blossomed, and a
unique culture emerged: Kaedian.
Peace
and profit reigned as Kaedia grew into a bustling trade hub, but
cultural factions hardened into tribal divides, and justice fractured
along belief lines. The Silverblood Queen’s attempts at unity failed—her
people were too proud. Into this rising discord stepped Reinholdt
Silverblood, “The Yellow,” the Godless King. Determined to forge lasting
unity, he seized total power. Religion was outlawed. Law centralized.
Propaganda elevated Reinholdt to a self-proclaimed deity. His brutal
regime silenced dissent, turning the city into a machine of conquest. He
drafted armies, honed arcane power, and readied Kaedia to dominate its
neighbors.
But
even gods bleed. When Reinholdt turned his ambitions against the elven
homeland, Kaedia’s faithless foundation cracked. Rebellion swelled,
driven by the Radiant Church—once a fringe cult, now a beacon of
resistance. Civil war ignited. Betrayed by his own brother, Reinholdt
fell—cursing the city with his dying breath.
The
Radiant Church seized power. Kaedia was wounded, but it survived. Alas,
like carrion birds coming to feed, came the Goretide.
From
the southern wilds, monstrous hordes descended beneath a crimson moon.
Kaedia made a desperate stand. Outcasts and officials stood together,
and in this crucible, salvation was forged. The Obitus Scholare unveiled
the first Jaeger, an augmented hunter of monsters. The Scions,
technomancers beyond moral constraint, unleashed Manikins—arcane
constructs of artificial life. These weapons turned the tide. Kaedia
endured. But peace once again proved fleeting. From the Ruby District, a
new threat rose: the Myst Scourge. Under the moonlit mist, twisted
beasts stalked the streets. The Church organized hunts during these
strange moons to cull the rise of these monsters. Yet, Thirty-four
blood-drenched nights have come and gone, and still, the Scourge grows.
Citizens bar their doors. Hunters stalk the shadows. The 35th hunt
begins with you.
