Life is what they make it—even if it’s already dead.
Despite their common interests in the fictional and fantastical, Edgar and Lucretcia are two long-time friends who can’t seem to agree on much when it comes to the question: Is real life too dull?
It just so happens, they don’t have to reach a consensus—at least not on their own.
A typical afterschool gaming session with their buddies in the EIDOLON tabletop role-playing club, takes a turn for the grave with a few rolls of the dice. The stakes go from practically nothing to unimaginably high when the six friends are bafflingly imbued with their fictional characters’ magick and abilities. And if that weren’t enough to turn their minds’ inside-out and worlds’ upside-down, Yaldovrath, a lich from their Gateways: Swords & Sorcery campaign traverses the impossible gulf between their fantasy world and reality, and he’s got a major bone to pick. To make matters worse, he’s being abetted by allies in both worlds: a sinister death cult and an imprisoned eldritch monstrosity.
As Yaldovrath’s tide of undead soldiers rises in the heart of the shining capital metropolis of Ephialtes, EIDOLON and company have to get their act together if they want to survive, let alone figure out the mystery at the heart of these unfortunate events to put a stop to them—if that’s truly what they want.
