The Dark Manifold: A Ringrealms of Vagevuur Adventure
Summary:
You awaken on a tram crowded with exotic beings smelling of blood and sweat. A humanoid in plate armor smiles grimly at you. “On behalf of the Faction Invisible, welcome to the afterlife!”
Description:
A moment before you’d been dreaming of your past life, but now you find yourself strapped into the seat of a gravity tram -- an organic vehicle fueled by spacetime. The cabin interior is lit in calming blues and greens, perhaps for the creatures around you, who look as grumpy, confused, and frightened as you feel. Gripping a handhold with one hand, the creature in plate armor places the other on the hilt of its sword. “I understand that death can be quite inconvenient,” it says, “particularly when it’s your first time. Rest assured, however, we at the Faction Invisible will do our best to get you started here in CS Squared!” It gestures toward the nearest window, overlooking the immense City of Stranded Souls, where carved stone buildings reach into the sky like hands from the grave. Far below, denizens shoulder their way through dark, claustrophobic streets.
