What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed?
When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the
adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world
running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer
has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters?
In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of
actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when
things go quickly and fatally awry. Once the dust settles, these
four find themselves faced with an impossible choice: pretend to be
adventurers undertaking a task of near-certain death or see their
town and loved ones destroyed. Armed only with salvaged equipment,
second-hand knowledge, and a secret that could get them killed, it
will take all manner of miracles if they hope to pull off their
charade. And even if they succeed, the deadliest part of their
journey may well be what awaits them at its end.
Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University,
had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before
the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of
courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of
specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero
Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students
with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into
official Heroes. Five of this year's freshmen are extra special.
They have a secret aside from their abilities, one that they must
guard from even their classmates. Because for every one person in
the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack
such skill. These lesser beings, Powereds as they are called, have
always been treated as burdens and second class citizens. Though
there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever
succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a
Super. That is, until now.
