ritual is relative to preparation, but imbuing fruit as a vector is a
particularly effective approach.

In the Fourth Age, it is a time of dire peril and uncertainty - the Great Khan, Azad Khazarad has perished at the apex of his ascension ceremony - leaving prophecies in tatters. Once mighty empires teeter on the precipice of destruction and at the heart of it all lies the greatest among them: the Khanate of Khor. From the heart of the Khanate, a dark and terrible pall has spread -- bearing with it a curse which warps and corrupts the very lands which fall beneath it.

Sages say that this is a prelude to the End Times -- and if left unchecked, all may be lost. As armies march on a desperate crusade, would-be heroes and opportunists alike venture into the lands of the Khanate -- seeking a means to turn back the tide of the pall and put an end to its gloom, or find fortunes in the riches of ruins in the shadow of the storm.

One such individual is Kaia, Rhiannon of the Briar Spire and Sentinel of the Obsidian Sanctum -- a buune adventuress and coven agent who seeks to reach the Fated City and unravel the mysteries of the pall among the ashes of an empire. Along the way, she must circumvent devious traps, battle brigands and outwit treacherous creatures and hope to survive to tell the tale.
