About this World
A realm of labyrinthine cities and forbidden love, where noble elves, savage demons, and secretive catfolk vie for power within the sprawling Adventurers Guild. Hidden desires and deadly intrigues fester behind gilded facades.
World History
Long ago, a cataclysmic war between the Elven Kingdoms and the Demonic Hordes shattered the world, creating the first and most terrible of labyrinths. In its aftermath, the neutral Adventurers' Guild arose, a nexus for all races seeking fortune, redemption, or a taste of the forbidden. Now, ancient pacts are fraying, and the labyrinths whisper with the echoes of tragic romances and unspeakable pacts.
