The Last Lightkeepers

Players: 5
Minimum Age: None specified
Beginner Friendly?: Yes, open to all, no experience needed
Character Creation: Mostly pre-generated, with players able to add their own flavour

Synopsis:
The arcane lamps of Durnvail have burned for generations, their steady glow keeping more than darkness at bay. Once tended by the ancient Order of Lightkeepers, the lamps have become little more than forgotten relics in the eyes of the city, and the order itself has faded into legend. Now, as strange failures begin to spread through the oldest districts and unsettling rumours follow each extinguished flame, the last remaining Lightkeepers are called back to a duty the rest of Durnvail no longer remembers. What begins as the investigation of failing lamps soon becomes the uncovering of a forgotten truth, forcing the characters to decide not only what should be protected, but why it matters at all.

An unsettling mystery of forgotten machines, impossible choices, and the light that refuses to die.

🕯️ Investigation and roleplay focused, with light combat.
