Now available at the Vaults

Thanks to Shawn's hard work, the first part of the Handmaidens' tale is available at the Vaults of Pandius.

In the week following the events of Wake of the White Witch's Wrath arc, the Handmaidens return to their normal lives in and around Threshold... Or do they?

"First Quest" puts the Thorn's Chronicle spin on Tim Beach's Hail the Heroes CD adventure (TSR2502) from the 2nd edition adaptation of Karameikos, following the Handmaidens of Petra as they unravel the mystery behind the location of Halav's shield. The PDF includes a map of the area surrounding Threshold, as well as D&D stats for the four main heroines appearing in the story: Jasna, Katarin, Brynne and Petra.

From the Netbook: The World That Was, in the Late Imperium

Thorn’s knowledge of the World That Was is primarily based on firsthand accounts from the Imperial Princess herself. They are supplemented by what secondary sources could be salvaged from the library in the Reflected City, as well as what was tapped and vibrocoded from the First Throne databanks’ skylink. Clarifications — when they could be untangled from her riddles, puzzles, and enigmas — were provided by the Gray Lady, who still haunts the ruined archives.

The Compiled Chronicles strike again....

Nova….

A name, adrift amidst the sea of foggy, clinging darkness that threatened to pull her back under, back into the clutches of the black and dreamless slumber.

So it begins....
