Legends of Barsaive: Haven Volume 1
 |
Legends born in the shadows of ruin.
The adventurer's paradise of Haven flourishes¸ while a dark power within the adjacent ruins of Parlainth stirs. Parlainth was once Thera's crown jewel in Barsaive¸ but the opulent city was brought low during the Scourge. When Namegivers first returned to the world¸ a group of adepts came together to found a town on the ruin's borders. From this town countless young heroes have embarked on quests for fortune and glory.
Nearly five years after the end of the Second Theran War¸ more heroes then ever before flock to the chaotic frontier town. The troll explorer-turned-mayor¸ Torgak¸ is getting on in years. The Association of Unaffiliatedd Explorers agitates for fair and balanced elections to appoint his replacement. The dwarf merchants of Throal and vested Theran interests eye the changing market hungerily. With so many looking to Haven's political future¸ it has fallen to private interests¸ the Adventuring Companies of Haven¸ to ensure that Barsaive's next generation of heroes do not fall to ignoble fates.
This adventure collection provides a description of Haven's history and lays out its prominent players as of 1517 TH. It provides additional rules and guidelines for players as well as gamemasters who wish to participate in the Earthdawn community's Legens of Barsaive adventures that are run at various tables around the globe.
