Alright everyone, I've been working out some of the kinks of this system for awhile now and will probably continue messing with it as we go, but I'm far enough along that I want the pressure of players to carry this thing over the finish line.
Interested players should be aware that this is a work in progress and we're even using the final draft rules for Lunars. I welcome players new to the system as long as you're willing to be active, ask questions, keep an open mind and brave the learning curve.
And now on to the pitch...
Chosen by Luna, the many-faced goddess of the moon, the Lunar Exalted are legendary shapeshifters and terrifying monster-heroes, untamed and unbroken by the ten thousand foes that have sought to end them. Their souls burn with unbridled rage, driving them in their vendetta against ancient enemies.
The focus of this chronicle will be the War for the Caul. The Caul is a mysterious island continent that is considered to be sacred to both the Lunars and the Dragon-Blooded. The Caul is fabled to be the birthplace of the Dragon-Blooded and the place where Gaia and Luna both loved and shared. It disappeared for centuries and then reappeared one day.
The main draw of the island is the pilgrimage path between the 5 shrine cities each devoted to one of the five primal elements (Earth, Wood, Fire, Air, Water). It is said that one who walks the path completes the five trials will open the Pass of Fen-Yi and enter the Last City. Dragon-Blooded who complete the pilgrimage ensure that their next heir will exalt. There is no recorded history of a Lunar completing the pilgrimage and what might happen if one does. Since it's reappearance, control of the five shrine cities has been heavily contested and currently the Lunars control all but the earth shrine city of Faxai-on-the-Caul.
The game will be run in a hex crawl format with a heavy emphasis on exploration and discovery on this mysterious island.
Your characters are newly exalted Casteless Lunars who are recruited to the Caul for various reasons.
