Beyond the walled river town of Najad, ruled by an unstable regime and riven with dissent, lies the Red Wastes: a wild region of blazing sun and shifting sands, scattered with ruins of empires long turned to dust. Within these sun-scorched lands, whispers speak of a golden citadel rising from the dunes: the last redoubt of the Sun-Kings, a place of treasure and terror, guarded by the remnants of elder powers. Now, a fungal doom spews across the land as fueding factions alike fall under its’ shadow.

Steel yourself. The sun is high, the sands are cruel, and glory awaits!
