First Post
It is New Year’s Eve, and near midnight on this frigid evening the
heroes gather in a small condemned tavern in the Free Citystate of Gate Pass.
Located in the mountain pass which separates two hostile nations –
Ragesia and Shahalesti – Gate Pass has been neutral since the end of their last
war, but now from Ragesia a scourge comes for the city.
By now, every magic-user in Gate Pass knows of the Scourge. The Emperor
of Ragesia died barely a month ago, and in a move to cement herself as the
next emperor of Ragesia, Leska, leader of the Ragesian inquisitors, has
decreed that all disloyal magic-users are to be tracked down and killed, to
prevent future threats to the empire. The inquisitors, clerics specialized in
countermagic, travel with military escorts to the borders of Ragesia.
Their first target is Gate Pass, its neutrality long viewed as an insult to
the nation’s honor. Those who resist them will have to face the searing
power of the Ragesian Empire.
An entire army marches for Gate Pass, and the people of the city fear
that they will not be able to resist the might of the Ragesian military. The
city leaders are bowing under pressure, and have barred the exit from the
city, intending to welcome the inquisitors that come with the army, for they
foolishly hope that the Ragesians will reward their cooperation with
mercy.
A local resistance movement, devoted to keeping both the Ragesians and
the Shahalesti out of the city, has gathered vital military intelligence,
and they need messengers to deliver the information to allies at a distant
wizard’s school. With all their strongest warriors preparing to hold
back the Ragesian assault, this vital mission falls to a party of
inexperienced heroes – the player characters.
The Ragesian army is nearly at Gate Pass’s doorstep, so time is short.
The war is about to begin!
