CHAPTER 1: THE CEREMONY OF CENTURIES

Good Morning and Happy New Year Adventurer,

You find yourself at the city of FULCRUM, a bustling metropolis atop a peculiar plateau in the geographical center of Sportz. This is truly a city in balance— an equal representation of all the races, classes, and religious groups of all the creatures in all of Sportz.

“The locals have a saying ‘From one comes all and from all returns one.’ This is what fuels the culture and spirit of Fulcrum. It is what makes Fulcrum a nexus point, a place where you can find just about anything… even adventure.” -Fulcrum Central Tourism Bureau

All along the road to Fulcrum and on every street corner, you see THIS FLYER. It is available in every known language, but the message is all the same.

EACH PLAYER will be asked to introduce themselves. Today, on the first day of the New Year, your character has gone from LEVEL 0 to LEVEL 1. The moment you become lvl 1, you find slipped into your pocket a STONE OF FAR SPEACH and a TICKET to the FESTIVAL CEREMONY AT THE FULCRUM CENTRAL OBSERVATION DECK.

McGruff, a Mystical Merchant presents himself to you. He begs you to meet with the others at the Festival. Change is coming and you have the chance to alter the outcome.
