Four Adventures,
Endless Scenarios
Four strongholds of tyranny, ready to be stormed by righteous mobs.
Thrall Hold of the
Blood Bailiff
The slaves of the Thrall Hold have revolted! The angry mob is storming the gates while the dreadful Blood Bailiff is gearing up to defend his palace and all the blasphemous secrets and dark magics it hides.
Your characters are a part of the mob - brave rebels seeking freedom from the slavers commanded by the Blood Bailiff, ready to clear out the fortress of his evil minions, loot the riches he stole from the people, and bring him to justice!

Perilous Chapel of the
Omni Patriarch
The glorious New Law Temple is burning - its golden roof aflame with reflections of a thousand torches gathered on the square before its magnificent grand doors. The mass of people has gathered not for a prayer or a vigil, but for justice and revenge.
For too long have the inquisitors of the Inner Church burned, quartered or shackled anyone who dares speak their mind. For too long have the priests been wallowing in corrupt luxury, while people toil in misery, and innocents are accused of sin, to be slaughtered and enslaved!

Forbidden Citadel of the
Panopticon Overmind
The Panopticon looms over the Dusk Empire, the seat of its intelligence service and the nexus of its supernatural surveillance apparatus. It is whispered that inside the fortress resides a huge magical brain, an overmind that controls all the scrying eyes and directs all the vile spies that observe and oversee every corner of the realm.
And what they see is that every corner of the realm is aflame with rebellion. Scrying eyes shot out of the sky, blackguards driven from the villages, and thousands of ordinary people converging on the Panopticon, ready to breach its seemingly impregnable walls and break open its dark secrets!

Roving Alcazar of the
Golden Principal
The Roving Alcazar has come to your homeland. An itinerant castle of basalt and gold built on a huge granite rock, it casts a long shadow of obscene splendor wherever it goes. Villages are emptied by its golden guard; livestock and birds are hunted to extinction by the winged beasts that protect it; and its depraved nobles led by the Golden Principal are said to bathe in blood of the innocent.
But now the day of reckoning has finally come. The three-storey tall stone wheels turned by elementals have ground to a halt, the flying beasts have been recalled back to its towers and the fabled rainbow bridge has appeared at the foot of the moving rock so that anyone can ascend towards the castle and through its golden gates. The servants of the Alcazar have revolted as the Dusk Empire erupts in rebellion!
