NOREK: Intrigue in a City State of Jamain
A wizened Magician in flowing black robes wanders western Jamain, a continent renowned for powerful magic and political upheavals. He seems to disappear into the mists at will. Are the Magician’s miracles “real” or the twisted work of the Unlife?
Opposing the minions of the Unlife are the citizens of the river-city, Norek, a cosmopolitan centre with nineteen bridges spanning the Alunn River. Led by a learned but divided council, and protected by a test City Guard, Norek’s folk should have little to fear. Yet within the city’s high stone walls, the Guild of Arcance Arts teaches dark magic, and a wily Thieves’ Guild operates with abandon.
Just east of Norek, the Elven King Liras gazes into the Orb of Tethior and forsees trouble brewing. How much help will the Elves offer the nearby mortals of Norek? In this fast-paced campaign of betrayal and danger, you must choose to serve the city on a mission offering exceptional challenge, or risk a fall before the dark flood of the Unlife.
