CHAPTER 1: THE ANOMALY
Lord Judgment
"The situation is quickly becoming untenable. Lord Tower claims all is in hand, and many at Court believe him. After all, he has kept a watchful eye over the Wasteland for years.
However, the risks are too great. You are to go to Bastion and uncover the truth of the matter, whatever it may be."

- 「 SCENE 」BASTIONCapital of The Watch, the only district in New Aeternum to share a border with the Wasteland.
Bastion is the home, and seat of power—of The Tower—one of the Aspects of Aeternum.
The Lord of The Blasted Throne is a cunning man. His hold over his realm is strong. It has to be. The Chaos of the Wastelands are kept at bay by the shrewd, strategic defenses of Lord Tower.
Or at least, they were.
THE BLASTED THRONELord Judgment began receiving reports of recent anomalous events occurring in the Magic Wastes to the west. The last word on the troubling developments was one week ago, today, on July 24th, 2022.
Lord Judgment suspects a conspiracy to cover up whatever trouble is brewing in the west... Any and all attempts to broach the topic via traditional channels have been met with resistance. A subtler approach is needed to uncover the truth.
THE ARBITERSYou are Lord Judgment's Arbiters. You are seekers of the Truth.
Your mission is simple: infiltrate Lord Tower's domain and unravel the threads of this conspiracy... Discover what grim forces are at work beyond Bastion's walls, before it is too late.
- 「 SETUP 」Further InformationNew Aeternum is an island continent which is divided into many districts, each ruled by an Aspect (Lord Judgment and Lord Tower are two examples of these). New Aeternum is the home of a race of beings known as the Aeternals. Aeternals are magical humanoids, and come in various shapes and sizes. Magic can be shaped and wielded most commonly by Aeternals in possession of Sigils—magical artifacts capable of storing magic in the form of spells.
Aeternals of a certain status—known as Scions, due to their proximity and relation to one of the Aspects—may be assigned a human Companion. A Companion is often chosen at birth to guard and protect scions, and are imbued with magical augmentations to help them fulfill their roles.
The Arbiters of Lord Judgment's court are Truthseekers, scions of The Balance, the throne of Lord Judgment. The Arbiters are often tasked by Lord Judgment to investigate and enforce statutes and laws across the many Districts of New Aeternum. You may be one such Arbiter, or an Arbiter's companion. In either case, your task is clear: investigate the goings on in Bastion, and Lord Tower, if need be, to uncover the truth.
GM NoteThis is a very abbreviated overview of the world of New Aeternum. For now, interested parties should express their interest (and ask their questions) below. I am searching for a small group (no more than 4 players with 1 character each)
Once players have expressed interest, I will share a CS thread which will make more clear the kind of information that I am looking for, and should help clarify any outstanding questions around character or setting
Thanks in advance for your interest
