The secret frontier
After The Murder of Albron the Allspeaking tensions are high between The Ordering and The Apex Republic, Kaurus the Unmaker has recived troubeling news that a cult has formed in the lawless lands of Drydale and sends one of his best Fulcrums to establish an inqusition in secret. The inquisition, led by Rasa of the Five Shores seeks not only to find and eradicate the cult, but also to establish if The Apex Republic is in league with necromancers. Before the inquisition can begin their inquest operations must be secured and the local territory explored, for this, the inquisition hires local adventurers and explorers to venture into the secret underground of Drydale. Establishing the inquisition will not be easy, as The Apex Republic authorities will not accept foreign interference in their matters, and the townspeople are fearful of those who wield magic.The first dieacide in history sends shockwaves throughout the once utopian Renata, by the hands of a spellcaster Assassin, the benevolent god Albron the Allspeaking was slain, as the protector and the moral center of The Apex Republic its cites are on the verge of war on two fronts; against the suspected benefactors of the assassin and The Ordering, a divine autocracy who seek to eradicate all arcane spellcasting that threatens the supremacy of gods. In the midst of a brewing conflict between neighbors rumors spread of another spellcaster and his cult of necromancers who seems to defy natural death. In a bid to investigate this cult in secret Kaurus the Unmaker dispatched Rasa of the Five Shores, his most trusted Fulcrum to begin forming an inquisition in Drydale. The god mandated that this inqusition where to root out this cult and imprision their leader and while so doing investigate any ties between the Cult and The Apex Republic, for while the death of Albron the Allspeaking caused The Council of Ten to issue the Decree Concerning the Status of "Arcane Casters", effectivly outlawing spellcasters, there were still suspiciouns that the Republic were secretly cultivating spellcasters to use in a war against The Ordering.
