In the mountainous realm of Spirefall, where towering peaks pierce the clouds and tavern culture reigns supreme, competing factions vie for influence across a landscape ruled by merchant princes, scheming artificers, and notoriously unreliable bards. You arrive as an ambitious traveler with little more than a modest deck of cards and the capacity to embarrass yourself without complaint, finding yourself caught between the schemes of rival powers, each pursuing their own agenda within the kingdom's chaotic social hierarchy. From the smoke-filled common rooms to the heights of political intrigue, your journey unfolds in a world where alliances shift as quickly as tavern gossip and the line between friend and rival depends entirely on who's buying the next round.
