The Realm Folded Tavern sits, as the name suggests, in a wrinkle in the Universe. Between planes, of the planes but not part of the planes. From here the Barkeep runs a tidy house where adventurers of all shapes, sizes, skills, and experience can rest, socialise, and (most importantly) find work.

Over 100 years ago Lord Acridia Bastion took control of a large chunk of Chrystal, he ruled for nearly twenty years. In that time he made many changes, most of which were bad and the people suffered. All this came about because he had had some mirror portals made that allowed him to move his troops around really quickly, the designer was one Ilyrana Sazorwyn. Ilyrana had made them to Acridia's specifications, they were flawed. Ilyrana had added a flaw that would allow troops from outside of the wall to enter, and that is just what happened. The forces of good were informed of the flaw by Ilyrana herself, she was watched morning and night so it took a while for her to make contact with her allies. Once the forces of good entered the portals they made quick work of the unsuspecting guards, as he lost more and more troops Acridia made a plea to his ally in the abyss. A portal was opened and a balor passed through, it killed Acridia and then went on a rampage. More demons poured through and undead now joined them, panic set in and a full-scale rout happened. Many died in the first hours, more in the next few days, and then the refugees stopped coming. Present day One-eyed Whalebone, the pirate, was disembarking with an eye for a change. He now had it on good authority that the gold Acridia left was still inside the city of Nortonia, he had an army of pirates with him to look for it. Captain Zmythe was tasked with the job of stopping him, the plan was to send out a party of capable adventurers to grab it before Whalebone got it. He has to oversee every village idiot that could carry a pitchfork, filtering them out he hopes to gather a decent party to stop the pirate.

This will be an asynchronous Mage: The Awakening game (1e) set in a modern day New York. By asynchronous I mean that there is no specific expectation that the PCs will be a cabal or working together. Each character will be experiencing their own story that may or may not cross paths with any or all of the other PCs. New York is a city that is constantly in motion, and this game will be as well. There are likely going to be events that all of the PCs will need to react too, but they will not necessarily be directly involved in the specific actions around that event. Some characters will be mundane and just being Awoken to the truth of the world. Some may be young mages aware of their power, and looking to establish a foothold. Some may even be established powerhouses or significant figures within the various orders within the city, each will be pursuing their own Path to Truth.

A short little venture into saving a trade route from a confusing assault.
