May 611

Going In
Storm Warning The season changes and spring comes, stirring dull roots to life. Storms blacken the sky for long days, rain driving people inside. But as the rain ends, the sun peeks through, and light comes once more to the land, bringing warmth and the promise of life to the rain-soaked land. The people move once more out of their shelter, and into the world. The people of Volta have weathered many storms. Storms of war and magic, of treachery and heroism. Blood has fallen like rain over the land, driving people inside. The adventures of Volta have striven hard to change the season, systematically dismantling Volta's enemies, standing unflinchingly in the face of the storms. As May comes to a close, the adventures find themselves in the capitol city of Unity. Storms are brewing around them. Redpath makes his bid to usurp the sovereignty of the Duchy. Creatures of flesh and corruption stalk the land. The politics of the fey courts spill over into this realm. These storms bring their terrible power to bear upon Unity. Only you stand between these storms and the people, only you can shelter the promise of life in the future. Only you can make the difference between life and death.
