City of Solstice: Evil Streets Home Invasion
 |
Welcome to the first adventure for City of Solstice: Evil Streets!
You are not adventurers.
They're dead.
Just like His Royal Majesty¸ Prince Roth¸ Earl of the City of Solstice and his wife¸ the Princess Sirena.
Their killers were the Star Society¸ five rival criminal organizations who joined together as one. They are: the Church of Mother Moon¸ led by the Shadow Shroud¸ a mysterious prophetess¸ the Nizari¸ most ruthless mercenary company in the known world¸ the shadow archers of the Sagittarius Sect¸ the mysterious elven executioners of the Order of Antares¸ and the martial arts masters known as the Five Forms.
The city is now theirs in all but name. The Royal Chancellor¸ Lord Toren¸ Her Majesty's Lord Protector¸ is officially in charge of the city. But everyone knows he's a tired old man who looks the other way while terror rules the streets.
You patrol the streets of the Gentry Quarter¸ a once-prosperous neighborhood¸ now a ramshackle mess of tenements¸ crime¸ and homelessness. Last night a tenement housing the working poor was the site of a massacre. Was this some dark sacrifice by the Star Society¸ or the work of a deranged lunatic acting on deadly desires no sane man can comprehend? From your base on the Wary Cog you have been dispatched to investigate this brutal mass murder and bring the perpetrators to justice.
You are members of the Vigilant¸ a thoroughly corrupted effigy of a once proud guild¸ charged with keeping order in a chaotic city of 100¸000 souls. You are not adventurers. But you have a duty.
