Pale Hound Rising
Pale Hound Rising: A Misthaven Campaign
In Misthaven, the last city between worlds, everything has a price. The guilds own the work, the churches own the faith, and the noble houses own everything else. Law is a contract, mercy a commodity, and the only real freedom belongs to the Free Companies: corporate bands of mercenaries who sell violence as a service and justice as a product.
You will join one of them: The Pale Hound, a once-legendary company reduced to a name, a worn charter, and an aging veteran determined to rebuild what was lost. No one remembers why the Hound fell, only that when it did, the city scarred and the Despot sealed the records. Now its last shareholder, Joris Fieldher, and his daughter Eris have begun recruiting again, seeking new blood willing to take the oath, bear the sigil, and hunt for profit, truth, or redemption.
This is a campaign of grit, intrigue, and moral choice. You’ll fight for contracts in a city built on lies, navigate rival guilds and divine corporations, and uncover the shadow that still haunts your company’s past. Every mission tests more than your sword arm, it asks who you serve, what you’ll compromise, and whether freedom in Misthaven is ever truly free.
