Verenthia, the Shattered Ember
Verenthia is a dying high-fantasy realm where the shattered body of the Ember God still fuels magic, but every miracle costs a memory and the world is slowly cooling into ash. A frontier tavern in Thornwick is the unlikely spark where heroes gather to decide whether the last embers of the world should be preserved, spent in a final blaze, or allowed to gutter out.
