About the adventure
Millennia ago, a horde of ancient dragons descended upon Korrian, burning civilizations to ash. The devastation forced the gods themselves to descend and wage war alongside mortal armies against the dragons and their corrupted followers. When defeat seemed certain, Amionp, leader of the gods, sacrificed his power to create an impenetrable dome over the continent's heart. Trapped and vengeful, the dragons raised towering mountains that transformed the protected lands into a vast, unforgiving desert. Now, centuries later, the desert teems with warring nations, savage tribes, and dark magic. A new power rises, threatening to consume all others and shake the very foundations of this cursed realm. In a forgotten town beneath the western peaks, two strangers claim they've discovered a way through the divine barrier. Will you dare to cross the gods' prison? What remains of the world beyond? Life or endless ash? Escape the desert. Uncover the truth. Face the evil that started it all.
