The Wasteland Under a
Sun
M
your
ost of the dangers
journey
can
in
be
surmounted with a good blade and
good sense. The real hazard, my
child, is the lure of the arcane. The
unfathomable mysteries from ages
past and perished realities that the
Shifting Wasteland keeps from us.
They will tarnish your mortal soul,
consuming it from within until
nothing human remains. Good luck.
Krrr-Urr, Elder Augurer
Hateful
The Dying World with
a Forgotten Name
The world is ancient.
There was a time when water
covered the salt deserts and deep
canyons, giant creatures roamed
lush forests, and great empires
built cities of stone and steel. A
time before the cataclysm that
boiled the seas and killed the
gods.
