Who is hunting the mystics of Coriolis and why? Investigate to find out in Emissary Lost, an adventure for the Coriolis the Third Horizon RPG. Combine Emissary Lost with other Coriolis adventures for a long-term space opera campaign.
Coriolis the Third Horizon RPG (review) features Arabian Nights style adventures in space. Enough adventures have been published, including the latest Emissary Lost, that a well-supported campaign can be developed. I have run the adventures in the core book and Dark Flowers as a mini-campaign. I found the rules and adventures excellent and a joy to run.
The adventure also contains additional options including a mission generator that help introduce the Emissaries into your game. The Emissaries are mysterious strangers who arrived at Coriolis Station and whose arrival heralded a small percentage of people developing mystic powers and many going mad. A new group of mystic talents are included called resonance powers. It also explores more of the mysteries introduced in the adventure. An epilogue adventure, A Song for Jaruoma wraps up Emissary Lost.
Last Voyage of the Ghazali can be followed up with Wahib’s Cantina, The Statuette of Zhar Bagra, and Terenganu Valley from the core rulebook. The first two take place on Coriolis Station and the last heads down to Kua, the planet below.
Combining the rules in Coriolis the Third Horizon and the adventure Emissary Lost with any or all of the adventures and resources described will create a campaign lasting months or years. Adventures can be added in one by one as needed and additional missions generated by random rolls or PC decision making. A GM will have all the tools needed for a mystical and challenging Coriolis campaign.

The events in Last Voyage of the Ghazali are a prologue to Emissary Lost. The adventure takes place in the Hamura system which is next to the Kua system where many of the other adventures take place. Hamurabi, another location and short adventure, is available as a separate PDF but has been included in Last Voyage as well.
Emissary Lost begins on Coriolis Station in the Wake of the Martyr chapter and moves to the planet Kua in the Kuan Connection chapter. Two additional adventures are planned to create the Mercy of the Icons campaign. Any of the following adventures could be run before or after playing Emissary Lost. In the Kua system the space station Coriolis orbits the green jungles of the planet Kua. The system is also home to the burning hot planet Lubau, the acidified Jina, an asteroid belt, the gas giant Xene, the ice planet Surha and an outer asteroid belt.The adventure also contains additional options including a mission generator that help introduce the Emissaries into your game.
