Power is a very deceptive thing, those with it are sometimes unpredictable. The pendant of Amshere held a power like none had ever seen. Able to manipulate time and make the owner immortal, it is understandable why it would be revered and feared. Placed in the ownership of a priestess for safe keeping, it costs more than she bargains for and she must take desperate measures to keep it safe.
3,000+ years later, a group of friends and fellow archeologists are on the hunt for the pendant they have only hear rumors about. After finding more information from one dig site to another, they are convinced the pendant is real. Many obstacles lay ahead in search of the pendant.
There is a drawback of the pendant though, one that could cost a life...

Stories of Topaz'lan- A DND campaign
In the shimmering desert-coastal nation of Topaz'lan, power is art, and history is written by those who own both. High elves rule from opulent museums and marbled towers, while the disenfranchised live in the cracked shadows of forgotten stone. The continent's most revered religious figure, High Priestess Sefris, is said to bless the land even in death-but her tomb has just been uncovered... and it holds more than sacred relics. As noble guests gather for a dazzling gala celebrating the excavation, the truth is rotting beneath polished marble floors. A mysterious illness killed dozens of student laborers during the dig. A professor who tried to expose the truth was silenced. And his grandson, holding a ticket he doesn't yet understand, is about to walk into the glittering jaws of a nation built on secrecy.

The ancient Bird of Ba, a magical artifact once entrusted to the Priestess, is missing its final gem. And those who touch the necklace awaken cursed-human by day, feline by night-with only whispers and visions to guide them. Your party stands at the crossroads of politics, faith, and buried sin. Will you unravel the web of deception wound by the elite? Or will you vanish into the shifting sands like the ones who came before?

Ire of the Moon
The gods have always been such fickle beings. They carry with them unseen expectations and desires, yet they expect perfection from the mortals over which they rule. How would you manage, then, if a god were to set its sights on you and you alone? Could you run? Hide? Or would their fury be inevitable? How do you avoid the rage of something so mysterious and divine? Some say the gods have limits. That if you did not cross into the light of the moon, that she couldn't see you. Simply hide yourself away each night, and the moon would never find you. There was even a night, at least once a month, where the moon would be blind, and you could tread freely through the night. Of course, nothing is certain in the realm of the gods. Note: This story contains human gore and animal death through hunting. These sections are brief, but those who are sensitive to either should use discretion.Complete
