About the adventure

Vibe: What if David Lynch directed an episode of Adventure Time? The land of Auroria used to be one planet inside a luminescent bubble floating in and protected from the Ignoble Void, a hostile and dangerous plane of chaos. However over time the planet became corrupted by Ignoble Energy, threatening the land with nightmarish oil-slick shadow beings. Realizing that the land itself became imbued with this nightmare energy, the heroes of yesteryear decided to sequester it in The Barrens and cast a grand spell to break off that part of the world. In the final battle Auroria was more broken than the heroes expected, shattering into myriad pieces, now drifting apart. The Barrens were carried to the edge of the bubble by the Obelisk Dragons, ancient guardians of Auroria, who to this day are attempting to push it back into the Void in a process that is suspected to take many generations. Until then, this corrupted piece of earth haunts the denizens of Auroria as an unnerving moon. However we don’t remember all that, though it was in some of our lifetimes, the collective memories of the people of Auroria magically shattered with the planet. All that remains is what is written in the Library of Unusual & Notable Affairs (LUNA) and in folk’s personal records. A great evil has been defeated but now a more difficult task has presented itself: stitching together the fragmented communities and exploring the strange places we don’t remember. Luckily we have airships! Speaking of that, you all are the crew of The Magnifying Glass, an odd submarine attached to a glowing glass ornament commissioned by LUNA and captained by Inquirer Liddie Lilacs, an elderly magical inventor who according to her notes, was allegedly one of the heroes of yesteryear. She has assembled this team to explore and travel between fragments to help people threatened by the dangerous miscellania resulting from The Shattering. This time, the crew of The Magnifying Glass has been contacted by the town of Echo Point, a community on a fragment near the edge of The Bubble, to investigate the appearance of a massive cumulus cloud made of pure night sky. Since it floated above their settlement, people have been unable to sleep without having surreal and unsettling nightmares and folks have been struggling to function from a lack of sleep. The plan is to pilot The Magnifying Glass into the cloud to either figure out how to drive it away or determine what is causing the people of Echo Point to be so restless.
