A little over 20 years ago, Grand Inquisitor Abrazan Koss betrayed the Sybilite Church and summoned the eldritch Scourge. Anchora Magna, once the greatest city of the known world, is no more, in its place the twisted Scourgelands that spread madness and corruption with each passing day. The Luminaries, living saints and visionaries of the Third Light, have been broken, slain, or worse. These fallen heroes now prowl the land as twisted mockeries of their former selves, terrorizing the nations that once idolized them.
In the dawn of the Third Darkness, Amalthea struggles to keep its hope in face of apathy and despair, as it awaits the rise of a new generation of heroes...

Tolkien. Amalthea features a grounded world with deep and consistent lore, morally nuanced narratives, and a complex cultural and political landscape aimed at enabling immersive roleplay.
