About the adventure
Welcome to the Estabarren Empire; glistening spires & mud soaked streets, bustling docks & picket lines; a dying superpower desperate to maintain power. Outlandish rumors swirl through the capital of dissidents and their plans to usurp rulership, but in every rumor there is a grain of truth. Intelligence has reached the Obsidian Court's rival spymasters that insurgents do indeed lurk in the shadows, planning a daring assassination... Play as an agent or inquisitor of the Empire's competing intelligence networks in an unlikely alliance to root out the insurgents. The task is simple: uncover the plot and foil the assassins. But like all spies, there's more to you and your companions than meets the eye, and the orders you've each received are not the same.
