Crossed Paths
Welcome to a drowning world.
Long ago, the world offered prosperity and hope for all, but not now. In a new age, after the end of the Dragon Wars, the world is instead scarred and slowly dying. The storms above roll with greater fury, the forests wither, and the seas are ever-rising.
Where once great ports sat by the sea, waves now wash over their submerged towers and walls. Once green farms that reliably delivered bounty are now more and more swamped and stolen away year after year by the flooding waters.
Trade is fading, kingdoms are falling, and people are dying as the ties that have bound their societies together fray and unravel, all under the pressures unleashed by the rising waters of the Dragon Tide.
***
In this release, Kalia and Spader are on the road home. The two families have fled the coast while Ruck and Tanner seek a way out of the Highlands. Amidst it all, fires smoulder, and Steen in Barterington has begun his chase.
