1) Campaign Overview & Themes
Pitch.
The High King of Atriad dies without an heir. The Atriadic Church calls a grand moot to anoint a successor by oil and oath. The Relic Conclave offers a rival coronation: a rite performed beneath awakened artifacts. Meanwhile, a Ketran fleet returns whispering of Nabour, an island of four seasons cursed by a tragic Beast. As famine and fear spread, Followers of pain‑rites seed terror and rifts. Choose your loyalties, weather the siege, sail to Nabour, and decide which light—cathedral or relic—shall define the crown.
Themes.
-
Faith vs. Power: Oil or light? Oath or wonder?
-
Mercy vs. Expedience: The Devil sells “necessary” shortcuts; God asks for hard kindness.
-
Truth vs. Control: Who writes the story—the bishop, the Conclave, or you?
-
Legacy: The mark you leave echoes into later eras.
