God is in his heaven, all is right with the World  In a time long ago a great hero, a visionary prophet named Onan Glamdron arrived in Creation’s darkest hour and rescued it from a time of tumult. With the help of his host he brought order to chaos and cast down wicked men, defeated their armies and burned their empires in purifying and holy flames. The gods who created the world were cast from the heavens and into the pits of hell for their negligence in maintaining Creation, their spirit servitors banished beyond the walls of existence and all else were given the choice to serve or perish. Thus was creation saved from threats both internal and external and all men were brought into the care of the Holy Father. Man was given dominion over the face of Creation and through the purity of his faith he would always be protected by Father. This is the story told to everyone in Sunday school, of the origins of their Father and Prophet and is the basis of the Church. Now what if I tol...

Introduction- All These Wayward Children  The Scarlet Empress has been absent for five years now and her Realm stands on the brink of Civil War. The Great Houses circle each other looking for an opening to place their candidate on the throne. The legions have been withdrawn from the threshold to bolster the political fortunes of their patrons, leaving kingdoms vulnerable to barbarians and the anathema. The Solar Exalted have returned to the world en masse, the Lunars lurk at the edges of creation and a new type of Exalted the Deathknight has come into the world at the head of necrotic armies. This tumult heralds the ending of the Second Age of Man, but what will replace it? Our story begins in the Hundred Kingdoms. Your village, your home, and your friends were destroyed and you will not rest until you have your vengeance. In your dreams you can see the flames, another village is burned just like yours was. The inhabitants tortured and slaughtered by demons. The Demon T’Nahva...

Introduction- The Exodus The Ebon Dragon had escaped from Malfeas, we are not sure how he did it but the Scarlet Empress was involved somehow. All we know is that on that fateful day the skies above Creation grew dark, the Sun perished and demon armies marched upon the world’s population centers. They hit hard and they hit fast. Within 48 hours most of the world was under their control. They must have had inside agents to accomplish this all, but who would be so foolish as to sell out their own world? To be on the safe side we should be on the lookout for infiltrators. In response to the invasion the armies of the Exalted Host unified and rallied together under the banner of Mnemon and her Solar allies, marshaling most of the resources of the East for a last ditch assault against the enemy. The Ebon Dragon and his forces were at work replacing the Elemental Pole of Earth with an Elemental Pole of Darkness, so that the corruption of the Ebon Dragon could be made a permanent part of ...

It’s another rainy night in Nexus, the city between the river harlot’s legs. Life has always been harsh but the spring rains washed out an unusual number of homeless from the cities gutters. The bodies of the homeless who perished during the last frost wash out into the canals, fouling the already corrupt water. Two lovers walk down a boulevard taking in the spring air of Cinnabar arm and arm. The next morning, one is found dead in an apartment, murdered by a jealous spouse after being caught in flagrante delicto. The case is just added to the city watch’s list of unsolved murders. The list of unsolved cases grow ever higher but a few noble members of the guard dig into the cold cases, bringing justice and peace of mind to victims and their families. Just a cable car ride away from the luxury of Cinnabar lays Nighthammer a working class area where desperate parents sell their babes into slavery to put another day’s bread on their plate. The mercenaries and slave traders of the...
