Welcome to Embers Adrift, Drifter! You've escaped the war-torn lands of the south by choosing to take your chances in the dreaded Darklands. After a grueling journey that has left your body wounded and your mind and memories scattered you discover the Great Chasm and a single solitary rope-bridge spanning across it. You hear pleasant tones inviting you across the bridge and discover drifter's landing. Not everyone escapes the Darklands, only the strong. You discover the City of Newhaven and it's struggling inhabitants. After recovering with their help it is your turn to help them survive!
