There is still something
worth fighting for.
Broken routes. Abandoned fortresses. Settlements trying to hold together.
You are adventurers in a fallen world. Recover supplies, find allies, confront threats and make lasting changes. A repaired road or a rescued person matters—and the responsibility you earn can ask more of you than strength alone.
