Product Blurb Evil Grows Beneath the Earth Why should anyone travel the cracked cobblestones of the Old Road? The fortress that once cast its shadow across the road does so no longer - some whisper that the earth swallowed the fortress whole in an age long past.

Plot Summary

800 years ago, forces of the Abyss attempted to invade the Prime Material Plane, but were rebuffed by an army of celestials and mortals. However, remnants of the portals used to invade the Prime Material Plane remain, and forces are attempting to open them again. The players are presented with the choice of closing the gates (Good), giving the gates to a secretive cabal (Neutral), or opening the gates themselves (Evil) (based on alignment). The players can earn affiliation points with two fully stated factions, granting specific benefits not available elsewhere; and, with clever play, can manage to have affiliations to both factions.
