Months ago a shooting star struck deep into the Darkwoods. Hundreds have banded together to brave the dangers of the forest. Some for knowledge, some for thrills, and most for profit. The “star” that fell is no mere rock. It corrupts. It calls. Some claim to have seen it from a distance, and barely escaped from its protectors. There are tales of scouts going mad and turning their weapons on each other upon finding fragments of its shattered tail. Rumors spread like wildfire . . . Is it the soul of some dark power, escaped from their deathless torment? The beginning of the long road to Armageddon? A magical artifact cast to the stars in ancient times to be kept from mortal hands? A new deity, spawned from the woes of the world encased within the stone? This is a story of heroes not chosen by fate, but who see the path to greatness and seize it no matter the cost! Those desperate, curious, or foolish enough to answer the call, and the those who may shape the histories of the world, if their wits stay about them and Lady Fate is pleased. The path ahead will be perilous, and only the wary will survive. Embark if you dare.
