Your Lucid Dream: Recent Episodes
Carman Zacharias
A dark D&D adventure through Continent Zoa-Anon, a land chockablock full of murder, mystery, and machinations.
It all begins in Semina Held, the central states primary hub of learning, invention, and science. Unfortunately this place has ceased serving the needs of the people, and has begun serving Bristin, the continent's economic core. The Semas have become torn between those who believe the world can change, and those who believe it shouldn't. This rift could be the catalyst for a much greater conflict, spanning the breadth of Zoa-Anon.
But this is not our protagonist's primary concern. They have each begun to experience fantastical visions and abilities, all in isolation, causing each to question their sanity in turn. The world is not as it was, but only they can know that with certainty and so must work together to discover the truth and combat the mundane world that cannot see what they see...
...and this is just the beginning. There is so much more world than they realize.
The Gang confront Tremaine Cade about his business venture with Acrinum Tox, and begin planning steps forward.
