About the adventure

Welcome to the Forlorn Frontier, an epic campaign set in the northern continent of Yefria, now transformed by centuries of technological progress, industrial might, and uneasy alliances. Five centuries have passed since the events of Blood of the Sovereign, yet the scars of old rivalries remain etched in the heart of this land. The sovereign nation of Anri thrives as an industrial powerhouse, its skyline crowned with chimneys and the rumble of steam engines. But beneath its bustling cities lies a fragile monarchy, clinging to the legacy of a shattered throne. Across Yefria, nations have embraced technology, magic, and innovation to reshape their societies. Yet amidst the modernity, whispers of the past resurface—whispers of power, betrayal, and the echoes of a throne long lost to time. You and your companions are adventurers of skill and renown, summoned to the glittering port city of Rabinis by a wealthy merchant and relic collector, Dekkart Lorrelius. Known for his ambition and an uncanny ability to unearth the impossible, Dekkart has a mission for you: retrieve a fabled shard of the Broken Throne, an artifact said to be hidden deep within the Forlorn Frontier, an untamed and desolate region. The Frontier is a place of ancient myths and untold danger, where modern machines falter, and forgotten powers stir. It is said that the shard holds secrets capable of reshaping the balance of power—not just in Yefria but across all of Eustracia. But others seek the shard too: ambitious industrialists, shadowy mages, and rival treasure hunters, all vying to claim its legendary power. Will you bring the shard back to the light or ensure it remains buried? What sacrifices will you make when faced with forces that have waited centuries to be awakened? In the Forlorn Frontier, every step is a battle for survival—and every choice echoes across the ages. _______________________________________________________________________ Player Expectations Levels: Characters begin at Level 5, reflecting their experience and renown, and should conclude around level 10.
