About the adventure
You are students at the Othara Adventurers' University, a college for those with prodigious gifts that befit those who would live a life of thrill and danger. You may have come from across the world of Calix, a land of magic blossoming into is digital age. But here, tumbling through the Elemental Chaos in the city of Othara you can become whoever you want. Through the next 4 years, you'll experience trials, quests, and combat alongside the joy, heartbreak, and exhaustion of being a college student just figuring out who you are. The world may need you to become heroes, but for now you just need to keep on top of your socials, have enough coffee for study sessions, and pray you survive the monstrous perils that lurk within these hallowed halls.
