Diamond Road: Scarlet Flow [Exalted 3e Lunar - Play by Post]

About the adventure

In the heart of the sun-scorched desert, where the winds whisper of forgotten empires, the dead lie still—innocent and guilty, old and young alike. Their remains bleach beneath the merciless southern sky. The sand hides their blood, but not the truth. Who wrought this slaughter? You and your pack have chosen to investigate the deaths of a Lunar allied tribe. As the South trembles on the brink of chaos, the Diamond Road lies bleeding, vulnerable, and ripe for the taking. Will you avenge your fallen allies? Forge alliances to bring peace? Or seize control in Luna’s name and carve your mark? The Diamond Road is more than a trade route—it is the lifeblood of the far South, a glittering artery through which jade, faith, food, and power flow. But now, a river of blood stains its sands. The Broken Chains of Virekh—a Lunar-allied tribe—have been slaughtered. But who spilled the blood? The children of Luna gathered beneath a moonlit sky, cloaked in the shifting shadows of trees . At the center two powerful voices—Amantha Kinslayer, advocate of deception and long-game subversion, and Yena Bone-Breaker, advocate of conquest. The two could not agree. To Amantha, the Realm’s grip on the South must be slowly unmade—its satraps turned, its taxes siphoned, and its faith unraveled. “We can bleed them dry with a thousand cuts,” she argued, “until the Dragon-Blooded forget they ever ruled.” But Yena would hear none of it. “No more whispers. No more waiting. We take the Road by force. We break their legions, bury their flags, and raise our banner over every caravan and fort.” The council ended with no unity—only tense silence and sharpened plans. Amid the discord, you and your pack were chosen. You were the closest thing the Pact had to impartial eyes.
