The Place
Spoiler! :
The sun glimmers on the horizon, its shape distorted by the shimmering of heat rising from red-gold sand. Your throat is dry and scratchy, skin burned and cracked, the last ray of hope shining on the sand - a reflection of water. Or, rather, a fantasy of it that you will always stay tantalizingly out of reach.
A body collapses on the sand. Your strength is gone, likely forever, and the few creatures that can stand the heat skitter over you on their hasty journey. Eventually the yellow dunes are turned a soft silver under the moon’s light and a ghostly shape moves across the endless desert towards the fallen figure, pale as the stars.
Welcome to the Forbidden Land of En.
The Story
En was once a vernal paradise where civilization thrived along the Cyr River. Then, without explanation, the river began to dry up and left a dying forest in perpetual drought. Eventually it died and the desert prevailed forevermore. The people have moved to the edges of the Forbidden Land where food is scarce, but at least there is life. They say that the Cyr Civilization was destroyed as a punishment of the ancient people and so, to appease the gods or spirits or whatever is thought to dwell within, four humans are cast into the Forbidden Lands: the Warrior, the Druid, the Healer, and the Trickster.
As time passes the desert has begun to spread into the Cyr-people’s new lands and they’ve performed the ritual early in the hopes of appeasing the desert so that they aren’t forced out of the last green lands of En.
The Characters
There are a maximum of six characters that will be in the storybook: the Trickster, the Warrior, the Druid, the Healer, the Mystic, and the Guide. The first four are offered up as tribute at the beginning and encounter the last two (the Mystic and the Guide) once in the desert. Below is a short description of each role.
The Trickster: The clever, rogue-like brains of the party. They’re sneaky, smart, and use their wits.
The Warrior: The brawn: a combatant, whether this be with weapons or hand-to-hand combat.
The Druid: A character that utilizes natural elements to power their magical abilities.
The Healer: The support character of the group. They may or may not have magic.
The Mystic: A mage-type who has abilities that are more based around psychic/spiritual abilities instead of elemental (or healing) ones. The Mystic is also a native of the Forbidden Land.
The Guide: Another native of the Forbidden Land, the Guide is a survivalist who knows the desert like the back of their hand.
