About the adventure
Karrakis' fate balances on the edge of a knife. An empire that has stood for ten thousand years must face revolution and change, for better or for worse. Which future will you choose? This 2-level adventure has lots of political and intrigue roleplay, and a variety of nail-biting tactical challenges. Perfect for new players looking to learn, or veterans seeking a more story-rich game. You are a newly-inducted member of a prestigious cavalry college, training to become the best of the best. The specter of war hangs on the horizon, and certain elements of your society want to hasten it's arrival. By fate or fortune, and no small measure of your own heroic attitude, you find yourself at the crux of conspiracy and conflict, poised to leave a lasting impact on future years.
