About the adventure
Set in the shadowrun/earthdawn setting. It's the sixth world, chummer, in the year 2100. The Horrors broke loose on earth in 2094, but that was ok, because no one was living there at that point anyways. Most of humanity, having been forewarned by the dragons, migrated to other planets within the decade prior, shortly after the discovery of Celestial Riftwalk. Celestial Riftwalk is a method of attuning to Starlight Ley Lines, a shifting web of lines that form a web between the magically active planets in the universe, and using these to open a Celestial Rift. Unfortunately, these Rifts can only be opened between areas of large magical potential, meaning only a faction of a percentage of the universe can be explored. For as yet unknown reasons, this fraction is growing larger, as is the influx of the Horrors on other worlds. You are a member of a crew of Riftrunners, part of Saeder-Krupp's Exploration Division, which is in charge of finding new worlds for humanity to relocate to in the event of Horror influx. You, of course, may be charged with other missions at the whim of Lofwyr, owner of Saeder-Krupp. It's a tough job. The universe is a big, cold place. However, you are confident in your ability to survive, and even thrive, as a Riftrunner. Good luck, chummer. You'll need it.
