SHOW DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------
An ancient obelisk—once a pillar between realms—has shattered, scattering its dangerous shards across the world and awakening creatures long forgotten. Darkness gathers as these relics draw relentless hunters and threaten to corrupt the land itself.

Fate now rests with an unlikely band: a hopeful squire, a death-touched mage, a runaway cleric, a grieving warrior, and a misunderstood tiefling thief. Their choices will shape the coming age as a whisper rises from the depths—
The Darkness Beneath.
