MASQUERADE: DOWNFALL
Your vision settles, though the nausea remains. A sharp and constant reminder of the missing days that have preceded you. A broken mirror, the sudden flash of a gun. You are in an abandoned warehouse, the acrid stench of whale oil and blood rising up from the docks below. You’re being held here by the few people that might save this world. One of them is already dead.
Downfall is the first special event of this Narrative Arc, introducing the Masquerade storyline. You will be tasked with infiltrating one of the vast interplanar palaces suspended over Adrestia. The sacred domain of the Nine, and their chosen vassals.
A shadowy cult has taken root within the city. They will not stop until the dreaming God entombed beneath its streets is released, and free to remake reality in its own image.
What lengths will you go to in order to stop them?
DOWNFALL is an epic 11 hour adventure, told across multiple tables. This event will weave elements of immersive theatre throughout, as the story unfolds.
Some important notes for this session:
- This is a lethal full-day session. Players with numerous afflictions are advised to come with a secondary character rolled up.
- Content warnings for this session include: Mind control, posession, torture, gore, graphic violence.
- This event will feature regular intermissions to visit our Apothecary and stock up on adventuring provisions (food).
- This will be our first narrative event since switching to 5E2024 rules. Please be sure that you have rolled up or updated your character following our revised Character Creation Guidelines.
For the best possible experience, it is advised that you have played at least one Quest Board adventure from this season before joining.
If you are a new player looking to join the world of Aeturnum, please play the Prologue Quest (As Above) first. Tickets can be found on our events page.
