Are you ready to embark on a grim, mystical space opera where psionics, martial mastery, and arcane technology intertwine in a galaxy teetering on the brink of chaos? Welcome to Coven Chronicles: Lam Naraj, an original roleplaying adventure inspired by the likes of Dune, Warhammer 40K, and Planescape: Torment. Fresh off watching Dune: Prophecy on HBO, I’ve been obsessing over space witches—and now, I invite you to join this dark, perilous universe as a key player.
The Story So Far
In the shadowed depths of the submerged Temple of Hexus, the witches of Lam Naraj worked to brew the Oraculus poultice from the sacred Wygoma tree. This potent elixir, capable of piercing through the veil of cosmic mysteries, was meant to grant Mother Badb the prescient sight to unravel a galaxy-wide threat. But their sanctuary was invaded by the Leviathan, a psionic terror of unfathomable power. Amid the chaos, their mentor, Archmagus Malakar, made the ultimate sacrifice, allowing Noctis and Phade to escape through a desperate portal into the unknown.
Their harrowing journey led them to Obscurum, a realm beyond comprehension, where betrayal awaited. The witches uncovered that the enigmatic Fatima of the Void Syndicate was no ally but Neccubus in disguise—an ancient, rogue psion who had manipulated their every step. Inadvertently, the witches broke the seal containing Neccubus, unleashing him back into the galaxy. Now, with their temple in ruins and their mission in shambles, Noctis and Phade must return to their home planet, Eveskara, regroup, and prepare for the dangerous journey to Esra Prime. There, they seek Imad, the son of the real Fatima, who may hold the key to stopping Neccubus once and for all.
