Book I:
The Maiden's Journey
Tal'Dorei is 20 years healed from its last attack against the Chroma Conclave's sundering. But, in their destruction, carrion crows fly to fill the void left in scarred ruins. In the north, a whisper rises to incite a civil war. In the south, a nation emerges, weapons drawn, ready to fight against injustice. And amidst war, the gods have chosen their warriors to set them free. Four unlikely people awake on the border of the elven capital, set to embark on a quest across Exandria to prevent an ancient evil from taking the throne the gods have abandoned.
Join these Chosen on the Maiden's Journey as they take to the sea in search for the gods' Vestiges of Divergence. The stage is set, the players have rolled their initiative.

Book II:
The Scattered War
The Chosen have been scattered to the corners of Exandria in their search for the Seven Vestiges of Divergence. Meanwhile, the Civil War continues to brew. In the North, the icy visage of the Nightmare in Ivory haunts the citizens of Ten-Towns; in the South, Old Gwessar faces political unrest; in Eastern Tal'Dorei, Stilben rebels against the new laws of Emon; while the Western dunes of Marquet unearth an ancient prophecy of flame in the lineage of the phoenix.
​
Will our heroes be enough to stop the oncoming war of the Whispered One? Only time will tell.
