About the adventure
You always assumed people in power were ruthless, but you never expected the Consilium to imprison a Divine being. If they found out you knew, they would stop at nothing to kill you. Will you expose the truth, or will you exploit it? In this chronicle, you will play as a cabal of newly awakened mages, recruited by the mysterious Guardians of the Veil. Together, you will undergo dangerous espionage missions, investigate occult mysteries, and navigate complicated political webs. Every choice you make will ripple through Boston’s Awakened society as alliances shift, enemies emerge, and the balance of power changes around your cabal.

About me
Heyy! Awesome having you here. I've been GMing for 5 years now, and this hobby quickly turned into my passion. Before this, I did improv, and some of those shenanigans carry over into the games. My players would say that my strong suits are dramatic narrations (certified bookworm), pacing, and atmosphere. I would say I'm pretty good at coming up with cool consequences for player actions. Hope to see you at my table and start having fun!

Creating your character
You will have access to the Mage: the Awakening 2nd edition book on our Discord server, and you can follow the character creation process on page 79. Everyone starts with a maximum Gnosis 1, as you will be part of a new cabal of novice mages, making the game easier to grasp.
