Between the fabric of the shadow and the fallen world lies the verge of the Iron Gauntlet. A thin veil in the fabric of the sleeper's world, contained in the Ruins of Mythos located in the jungles of Peru. In the earliest times of the 15th Century, you have awakened with others, the special ability to cast magic. As you leave your cabals and harrow, you find the Ruins of Mythos a portal to the Realm of Nightmares or the beginning to Pandemonium....a place of insanity, corruption and madness. Within that place is an artifact of considerable power in the grip of a powerful enemy and it's tainted followers as the very fabric of the abyss will sunder the lower realm and spill forth an all consuming darkness. It is a race against time in this game of Mage the Awakening.
