All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again.

There was once a group of friends with fierce loyalty to one another, sure they were an unlikely troop but their friendship was strong. At least that's what they thought. The friends lived in the town of Spindra, a normal town aside from the fact that it was inhabited by monsters. But the town had another secret known far and wide across the Visyr. Every two fortnights a sacrifice was given. Two people from the town, a male and a female, were chosen to be thrown into the abandoned mine, Spineglass, to feed the famished monster inside. The friends knew about this but did nothing to stop it until, one of the group was chosen to be food for the monster. It was either to lose their special bond or save it. The group was unsure but one decided, they would all go in, all three of them. And face the monster together. {Another story by AmazonJunJun set in The Visyr, the same land as "The Lordly Ones" is set in}

Someone is kidnapping the street kids in Twynne Rivers DeFrantis is a young human girl living on the streets, trying to eke out a living in the sprawling city, and she has problems. First, after a botched attempt to steal a chicken, she's on the run. Second, for some reason, someone other than the City Guard is trying to hunt her down. Finally, the poor kids she was trying to feed got sold off to slavers. She has to save them, but first, she has to find them! Along the way, she gets help from strangers: Antonerri, a soldier turned heretic - Thissraelle, an elven mage girl; Granthurg, the studious giant; and Karendle, a half-dwarf wizard wannabe. ...But who is the Dragon's Flame? "...Each of these characters emerges from wildly differing circumstances, and have unique perspectives and goals, which don't always neatly align with those of their companions, and in some cases can leave them wondering if they're even fighting on the right side. It's that searching and self-doubt -- all while being swept up by larger events -- that makes these players in this little drama so fascinating." -Doug Bedwell, Author of "A Counterfeit Princess" and "Robot Captain" This story is based on the setting and system of the table-top role-playing game, "A Tale of Heroes" By Mark Hansen, Brendon Hansen, and Jacob Hansen. It's a family-friendly, story-driven system designed to help families enjoy time together. Roll Dice - Build Character
