The Premise

Nine stones keep the Realms apart. Four of them are gone.

For seventeen centuries, nine stones have kept the Realms apart. Four of them are gone. Gates now open where none stood a year ago, devils walk the roads of Ansur, and something with a single golden eye watches from the dark between worlds. A whole city has already fallen into Tartarus, sold long ago by its own people to a devil who finally came to collect. Every great power wants the five stones that are left. You start with a sword, a few coins and a choice. Chase the fate of the Realms, or turn your back on it and build a fortune of your own. Find companions whose stories run as dark as yours, cross into lands of fire, fey and shadow, and decide what happens when the next stone falls.
