Campaign Focus
Stop the rise of The Fourth Emperor.
Heralds call out of the return of the Fourth Emperor, a being beyond space and time. The former million-year-old ruler over earth has laid hidden in the deepest reaches of the Outside with remnants on earth and in the darkest reaches of the Datasphere. Now those who have heard their call seek the emperor’s return.
Our heroes work together to uncover remnants of the prior worlds and seek an end to the coming of the Fourth Emperor.
Our heroes work together to dig into the remnants of the eight previous worlds and use those discoveries to help the people of Bodrov - The Queen’s Plateau.
Navigate the delicate balance of a people just rising from tribes to more advanced society.
Truths of this Campaign
- [x] There have been eight previous advanced civilizations in the world having risen and fallen. Many of their artfiacts, locations, and even people reside the depths of their ruins beneath the earth.
- [x] The people of the Ninth World, in the Steadfast have grown out of mere survival and tribal groups into a more advanced society, yet one far less advanced than the eight who came before.
- [x] Our story begins in the city of Bodrov - The Queen’s Plateau, home to roughly a thousand people, which sits atop a table-like megastructure filled with ruins above and below.
- [x] Factions vie for power in the region of the Steadfast who use the threat of the chaos of the Beyond to bring people inline. The strongest of these is The Order of Truth
- [x] The Order of Truth is led by the Amber Pope, Durranet VI. Their “Aeon Priests” seek discoveries of the lost worlds to bring forth a new age for the people under the Order.
- [x] The Steadfast comprises nine different countries. Collectively, the rulers are often called the Nine Rival Kings, or just the Nine. These kings, queens, princes, and councils share no love for one another and truthfully have no relationship except that each rules over a land whose people owe faith and favor to the Amber Papacy.
- [x] Though the queen has a residence in Bodrov - The Queen’s Plateau, she never visits it. Bodrov is ruled over by Viceroy Euenos – Viceroy of Bodrov.
