A thousand years ago, seven bloodlines came together to create a clockwork artefact imbued with the essence of a great beast. It was meant to protect the people, but it failed. Instead, it turned wide swaths of fertile farmland into barren wastes, and turned those caught in its grasp into something else entirely. The Bloodlines worked tirelessly to fix their mistakes and eventually it cost them their lives. The artefact faded into obscurity, disappearing from all known records, along with the truth of what they’d done.

But now, a thousand years later, the artefact has apparently resurfaced, and in the Imperial Palace. At the request of a mysterious woman, seven strangers—descendants of the original bloodlines—come together on a mission to infiltrate the Palace. They must overcome mechanical guards, elaborate locks, sinister traps and the Imperial Heir themself.

The plan was to gain access to the palace during a masquerade ball for the Heir’s inauguration, and then to sneak away to retrieve the artefact. The real challenge would come in getting back out and getting the artefact back to the place where it was originally made; The Frozen Falls.

Will you join a quest that may or may not take you all down a very dark path? Or will you stay in the tainted light, blind and loyal to a cause that could destroy you all?


Map of the Country


Ibessa & The Capitol; Ibessa is a small country powered by steam and magic; the capital of Ibessa is Ashvale. It sits on the mouth of the Nagendra River, and is the hub of all trade in the Ibessan Empire. This is also the command centre of the Empire; the Emperor's seat of power. Ibessa is a very temperate country with high, isolated snow-covered mountains to the north with grasslands to the south and costal regions, and heavy forest inbetween. There are quite a few abandoned villages, the people having moved towards the Central River Crossing of Crowhaven and the Capitol, Ashvale, to protect themselves from the creatures that lurk in the far reaches of the Empire. The country has a long and blood-soaked history, especially when it comes to the unknown, and it's gotten worse with the invention of steam power.

The Imperial Family; The Ibessan Imperial Family have a long and bloody history; a history full of betrayal and assassins, of traitors. It is a proud and noble family, with a lineage going back thousands of years--but they have a habit of commiting sabotage and murder.
